Gettin a little nervous here.........friday is the day

Just sayin hello to whoever is out there and was feeling sort of crappy due to me not being able to eat for 3 days, im on my 2 day and friday morning is the surgery. does anyone have any advice for me on what to do and not to do, what to bring etc...........???? Kendra~

good morning kendra dont take much with you to hospital you will just carry it there and home. you need a robe and slippers. i carried my stuffed hippo so when i hurt i could squeeze him....yes im 43 yrs old... you will be too tired to read or you will be walking. just relax you are in great hands. your surgeon is skilled. and we are all here rootin for you. diane in minnesota

hi kendra: i brought along a couple magazines and a chapstick, i was in for four days and not walking much with my broken leg so i had lots of reading time. but diane's right - sip, sip, sip - walk - sleep. you'll be a LOSER in no time. i'll be thinking of you and praying for you. hugs dorthe

Kendra, The chapstick is a must! You really get dried out in there and can only take little sips. Otherwise a robe and slippers is all you need. I had a book too, but, didn't read that much, slept alot between my walks, which I did hourly. Really helped my recovery! Good luck! Lori 384/293/170
