NERVES

I totally agree with the ear plugs and sleep mask. My roommate had a knee replacement surgery and was in a lot of pain. They checked on her hourly throughout the night. When the a lab tech came to draw blood in the morning she tried to wake me up but I didn't hear her because of the ear plugs. She had to shake me awake. I think she was surprised I had them in.

Funny thing though... She locked the railing up on the side of the bed when she was done and I didn't know how to get out so I had to call my nurse to get out and go to the bathroom!! No good when you are in a hurry ;)

I got ear plugs lol i have notice people complain about other people keeping them up sleep mask i thought i had one so i did not get one but no big deal i have a 6 and 7 year old i never get a second to myself to sleep so i will get well deserved sleep there lol

Congratulations on your surgery. I know it's easier said than done but believe me, it's a good nap.

As for what.to bring to the hospital, you're not in there.that long to really need anything. Maybe a cover up or robe and slippers so that you can walk the hallways in comfort. 

:) Thanks got it except slippers lol i will grab them this weekend i was just going to use my shoes

If your shoes just slip on, that'll work. You won't be wanting to bend over much the first 2 weeks.

I got a cheap pair from Walmart. I think I got men's and didn't realize it cause they.were pretty big on me and I have fat feet to begin with, lol.

The best thing I can tell you is that the surgery is easier than you think

Good luck!!  Hope you have a speedy recovery!!! 

Let us know how things go!! 

Thank you very much :) 

Wow, Monday! I'm happy for you and wish you a speedy recovery. 

I just met with my surgeon for the first time today, via computer monitor, and am now waiting for the date for my surgery; I was told it would likely happen in January 2017.

Keep us updated as you go along.

Take care,

Kathy

Congrats to you as well :) It will fly right by and here before you know it
