Time to start packing

Ohhh.... so happy for you! I have no advice (still pre0oper) but will send tons of love, and moral support! WIshing you a speedy recovery!!!  Breathe slow... it's going to be the first day of the rest of your life! Enjoy it!!! valerie

How exciting!!!  You are probably an emotional mixture of fear & excitement, huh?  I remember it well. These gals have great advice, so I'll chime in with my recommendations too.  Bathrobe, slippers, lip balm, change of undies, deodorant, toothpaste & brush. Wear home what you wear there.  You will be medicated & groggy so don't bother with magazines or MP3 player. If possible, have someone there to help you in & out of bed ...nurses are never available when you need them. They are overworked & underpaid and stretched in too many directions at times. I know this first hand. I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery. Please let us know when you are back home and how things went.  Fly high my friend...this is the best time of your life!  HUGS  Jeanine

Thanks everyone words can not express how grateful I am for you all and this website.
