Surgery this week

Anyone have any suggestions that might help me this week? My surgery is Friday, and I am thankful for any suggestions on "surviving surgery in Mexico". Any tips or suggestions that made your surgery easier? Or, any thoughts on what you would have done differently? Thanks

Hi C G! I guess my suggestion would be to relax, don't worry so you won't be stressed out, and get plenty of rest. You need to go into surgery with a positive attitude. I did leg exercises hoping that would lessen the chance of blood clots and I blew up balloons three or four times a day to increase the strength of my lungs. I guess everything thing worked very well for me, as I had no complications during my surgery or recovery and had very little pain. Hang in there, everything will work out great. Cheri
