I have my time!
All right Melanie!!! You're almost there - it is very exciting and can also cause a good dose of the nerves, but you'll be fine - you're in wonderful hands at Barix! Everyone's advice is best - walk, sip, listen to the nurses and docs and you'll do just fine. After any surgery you'll feel like a Mac truck hit you, but it goes away.
Take care - you'll be in my thoughts and prayers!!

Melanie,
You and Lesley will be walking the halls together by late afternoon, how kewl is that? I wish you all the best as you make your transition to the Loser's Bench.
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Congrats on your time!!! I posted a list of things on Lesley's post for things to bring - but a lot of it on there Barix also has - I'm just like a little kid who likes to have all my OWN stuff with me.
You guys will do great and will be walking the halls tearing up the place!! Can't wait to hear how you make out!

Great for you Melanie,
I was a later time, and was freaking out in the waiting room by 1:00 p.m. because my blood sugar was low and I was thirsty. You will be out of surgery by then, and walking before supper.
My suggestions to bring are:
CD player or iPod, because the TV sucks.
I brought my own pillow, because I am a nutcase about having my down pillow with me whereever I go.
Picture of my kids, because I am a sentimental sap, and they all live out of town and could not visit.
My cell phone, to make phone calls easier in and out.
My own toiletries, even though they did give me some, I wanted my own special stuff to make me feel pampered.
A robe and slippers for hall walking.
I even brought my knitting, and did some of it when I had the where with all to sit up.
I brought pads, because I got my period the morning of surgery.
I am off next week, and can stop up and visit you all, but I need your last name. HIIPA prevents Irene at the desk from releasing it.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
