Portsmouth hospital

Cindy, I almost forgot - take baby wipes!  They are much easier to use for the bathroom than toilet paper & help with washing up.  I was told no showering while I was there & to wait 2 days after going home so the drain incision could start to heal. 
I didn't sleep in the hospital bed at all after my initial transfer to my room - it killed my back & was very difficult to get into and out of.  I asked for a reclining chair & used it for sleeping & sitting with a pillow behind my back.  I found it much easier to be independent getting up and down than in the bed.
Best of luck!!

aaahhhh shower that would be a no... you won't be able to tale one till after you get home 8-(

i am felling better everyday.. i am going to go to the gym tomorow for a little while (proably just tread mill) and i am thinking about going to work part time the end of the week.. so i guess i am doing well... my enegery level is getting better every day.

Well guess I won't bring any shower stuff then. I don't want to bring a bunch of stuff I won't need/use.  I WILL have my cellphone and charger, chap stick and baby wipes.  Sounds like your doing well Dave! Going to the gym? Awesome!  I am a little nervous. I know it will get alot worse before I get there! LOL I talked to Dr. Gens at my appt. Friday about pain meds and nausea, so I feel better about that. I expect to feel like crap the first week but I hope after that I really start to feel better as I only have 2 weeks off from work.  Glad to hear all is well.  Are you still losing?   Keep in touch, Cindy

Depending on your hair type/length you might want to bring something to put your hair back like barrettes, clips, or a hair band.

Nope, short hair.  Which means I will look like a greasy mess by the time I get out of there!  LOL That's ok, it will all be worth it....
