Just to let you know that they have internet in your room at MUSC!  My family that stayed with me played on it.  So you will enjoy that!  Also when you get to eat if they bring you this chicken type soup oh my go**** is YUMMY!!  I tried to get some when I had my staples taken out, but it wasn't that one.  But believe me it is sooooo good.  Please keep me posted how it goes!  Dr. B will take great care of you as well as the nurses on that floor!!   It is an awesome place!!

Thanks for the congrats!!  I went to my first support group meeting yesterday!  It was fun.  Let me know if you would like to go to the next one next month!

Take care!!

YESSSSS, I will go with you, lol! I made a vow to myself that I will definately take care of all the tools they offer.

Question? Will they feed a person that stays with you? My daughter will stay with me as my hubby needs to go back to work the day after surgery and also take care of the boys. Does she need to go to the cafeteria or will they bring her a tray?

Also, do you have something like a grocery shopping list for the pureed stage? I have my pre-op Monday, but was trying to get some things already since I have only a few days left......
gosh I'm so anxious!!!

Chat soon,
~Heike

From what I can remember they don't feed them.  I think they went down to the cafeteria.  Maybe you can ask Monday.  I just know that the first few days I was out of it.  I will ask my husband in the morning.  He is sleeping right now.  I will keep you posted on the next group.  The night one is the 3rd tuesday of the month and the afternoon is the 3rd Thursday of the month.  Just let me know something :)
