I am slowly getting around to packing my bag, only 16 more hours until I need to arrive for my surgery tomorrow!! My eldest daughter dropped by this evening to give me a card and some flowers. I am so excited and for the first time at total peace.

I really do not want to bring alot with me so i have all my meds, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, soap, sponge, brush, chapstick, slippers, under garments, pillow, health card and cell phone.

I think that is all i need, please let me know if i am missing anything??

Thanks again OH family for all your support and please save a seat for me on the bench

How exciting!! Best of luck for tomorrow! You sound as if you're all ready and have everything you need. The only other suggestion I could add would be earplugs if you don't have a private room. I was lucky enough to have a room of my own but I know of others that had very noisy roommates and appreciated having them. I also brought a nice fuzzy blanket from home and I was happy I did as I got cold.

Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Ear Plugs are a great suggestion and i just happen to have some for my daughter who used to get ear infections if water got in her ears.

Thank you so much for the well wishes and I will update as soon as i get home Wednesday!!

Yayy i am so excited.

Good luck! In my pre-read, they suggested shoes with grip to them for walking the halls.
