Good luck, Tee! Be sure to take your pain meds even if you don't think you need them. Today is mt 10th day on the other side! Feeling almost back to normal. Prayers for you!

Lets see I took ipad, socks, nice comfy pillow, gas x strips, comfy elastic pants and a comfy loose shirt for the ride home. I'm from Monroe Louisiana but my surgery was done in Fresco TX. So I had a long ride home. Good luck and God Bless on your surgery, stay calm and you'll be fine! Oh yeah I had my mom run to the store to get me chap stick my lips were extra dry after surgery and toiletry items.
