Well the time has come. The nurse called today to say I need to be at the hospital for 7am and then surgery at 9am. Only 2 more Optifast shakes and it's done (it's been a long 3 weeks of shakes).

I'm going to take my pillow, book, CPAP and toiletries including Biotene spray.

When I get home I've got my broth, SF popsicles, SF jello etc. I expect to sip and walk and relax.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Have I forgotten anything?

Are you bringing lip balm? I was so happy I had mine because hospitals tend to be so dry.

Lip Balm..will do!! I guess eye drops wouldn't hurt either.

I knew my surgery was at 9 am tomorrow. I just thought it was nice she phoned to confirm that I knew to get there 2 hours before. Funny thing is, I was nervous last week....not so much now.
