Ok 1 week left and hoping i am prepared.
I put my backscratcher in my bag at the last minute and I sure was glad I had it! I woke up in recovery itching all over from the morphine. They switched it to dilaudid and gave me benadryl, but I seriously used that back scratcher for a couple of days!
I was also really glad to have my cell phone and charger.
I had a really large robe I bought on the 'Net. This kept my butt from hanging out of the hospital gown as I walked up and down the corridors.
Good luck.
Good luck.
