So spend your nervous anxious time packing all the stuff you have listed!! Then you'll have something to do when you get home....unpack all the stuff you didn't use!!!   or at least that's what happened in my case.  I spent my hospital time....walking, walking and walking.  In between that I was sipping, sipping, sipping.  I watched a bit of TV.  I took my Mp3 player...cell phone etc and didn't use it.  Everything else I needed the hospital provided.  Even the slippers I bought especially for the hospital, never were used, wore those "pretty" rubber soled socks.  

Just my 2 cents, but if it helps you divert your time and worry....have at it!!  You will be fine.  We are all pulling for you, swinging animals for you and keeping good thoughts for you.  Hang in there, it will be over before you know it and you'll be "on the bench"!

Thank you all... I am waiting for my one and only button down shirt to be out of the dryer and then I'll be all packed.

I'm very nervous, but it's really out of my hands.

See you all soon!

Cheers,
Kehau
