Well, I will be starting my preop diet Wednesday after my appointment. I go at 11am and will be at the surgeons office till 4-430. Meeting with many difference people.
I have decided to keep a piece of paper with me and everytime I have a question I write it down.
Today I went and bought a new journal. It has a butterfly and on it there is a qoute "releasing the beauty within". I think it says it all.
I have all of the things they have given me on my surgery in a binder and have been trying different protein products.
So besides my chapstick anything else that any of you can think of?

Oh I also bought a fund jar so everytime I stop a med I will put my copays in the jar to buy myself something nice!!

Erin,  It sounds like you have a good plan going.  It won't be long now.

I don't really think you need much in the hospital.  They will want you to be up and walking so a robe and slippers are nice.

Good wishes!     Sandi

Thanks, I am planning on leaving the things I bought at home. I am going to bring very little to the hospital.

Since I have lost my family and my boys aren't able to drive it will just be myself at the hospital. I will only be there for 2 nights per the surgeon if all goes well

For me besides chapstick I needed eye covers and ear plugs.  But then I'm a big baby!

Good luck and ask any questions you have, we're here for you.

Good luck,

Edie
