Any news on Veronica yet?
 Thanks Darlene!  That helps alot.  
I was thinking Carmex/Chapstick, SF Jello, Feminine Wipes, A card, Protein samples (we have some that my hubby likes), and a book/magazine.  
Are you still worried about the surgery?  I think you'll do fine, and you have a great helper who has been there done that.  Take Care.
