Oh boy, it's finally here! Less than 24 hours from now I'll be in the hospital. Today, I'm double checking that I have everything ready to go. There's only a couple of items left on my shopping list: a kitchen timer to set every 15 minutes to remind me to sip my 1-2 ounces of fluids afterwards, and a new bottle of iron supplements as well.
Other than that, I'm pretty much set I've packed my multi-vitamin, probiotics, and vitamin B-1 along with my overnight bag: pajama bottoms, a robe, slippers (since they'll have you walking as soon as you can in order to lessen the chance of blood clots forming in your legs), my Kindle Fire with 5 new books downloaded (absolute MUST!), and I also dowloaded a food diary and counter app. for when I have to record the fluids both going into me for the next 2 weeks and the one's coming out of me as well. Pack the timer(still got to make that stop) Plus, I've been revewing the pre-op procedures to make sure I haven't missed anything:
Don't shave the day before: Check
Don't eat after midnight: Check
No Tylenol or similiar medicines: Check
Check In is at 9:30 am
Operation should be around 11:45 am
