Pre-Surgery List?

Stool softeners are a must if you are on pain meds, I tried everything else and they are the only thing that helped after 9 days of agony. I really liked apple juice watered down to drink. A heating pad was essential and rub A535 was like heaven on my back that got really sore from all the laying and sitting.

Thank you all for the ideas. Some I had and some I'll pick up tomorrow. Excited and nervous!
