  21. your welcome hun,i also asked hotel for an alarm call at 6 so i could shower before taxi comes aroud 6.45 and when you got to hospital you walk in past a wee reception desk and turn right and go into a waiting room there is a machine you take a ticket from i pressed the bottom button cause it's all foreign lol and sit and wait till your number is called but they can speak quite good english and take your passport to hopital good luck hun xx
  22. just thought i would mention i bought the opsite dressings from lloyds chemist in pack of 5 which are great as they are waterproof for showering etc and i took motilum tabs for nausea,windeeze,loose clothing for swelling after surgery,slip on shoes,handtowel for hosp,washbag,chew vit,nurofen melts,cup a soup and some shakes and also take a cup or mug as they only have plastic ones in hotel and i asked for a pre med to calm me down befor surgery you have to ask for this just thought i would tell you all what i took lol

  24. . hi hun i started taking my milkthistle two weeks before hun and you dont need liquid vitamins i just take the kids bassett ones,no you cant do sit ups not too sure about power plates think they might be ok but not for at least 8 weeks,if you do want liquid vit try the chemist or holland and barrat,i didnt spend any money at all i just took shakes with me oh i did buy bottle of water from hotel it was expensive about 5 euro for a large bottle xx
  25. i would hold off a bit dub girl cause if it is heavy work you have to be careful with your port side because if you pull it you will be in agony honest my friend thought she had damaged her's by lifting somthing quite heavy so try and take more time off for heavy work anyway it's not to bad light work,it's best not taking the chance of damaging it good luck hun i didnt change my bandages much i just bought the water proof ones and took them off after 5 days to heal themselves lol and just made an appointment with the nurse in our doctors practice to check them over and take out the wee blue stitch on the 10th day xx
