Searching..

Hey everyone,

Is there an easy way to search for posts in this forum? I am looking for some lists of things I should bring to the hospital with me / items I should buy that may be helpful post-surgery.  I know this question has been asked many times, I just don't know how to find them!

Thanks again!

The search function on OH isn't very good.

I'll share my experience. The things I used mostly and recommend bringing are chap stick, slippers, a pillow for the ride home. I also used my own tooth brush and tooth paste (some hospitals will provide these).

I brought my robe but didn't use it instead I put a hospital gown on backwards to walk the halls. Comfortable and I didn't have to worry in case I had any leakage from the incisions.

Bring something comfy to wear home. I didn't read not did I bring a laptop I know some do but when I was awake I was walking. I only spent one night in the hospital though so if your stay is longer you may want to bring something in case.
Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you so much 

I agree with Cajungirl, the search function isn't real good and it is hard to find. I have used it and found what I wanted though. The search function is in the blue bar above and then you have to also specify that you want to search 'forums'. I wish that there were a choice to search a specific forum.

The only addition that I would make to what she already said is to bring a pair of lounge pants (sweats, pajama) to cover your butt while moving around. I didn't think of it but saw someone else wearing them and I was jealous!
