i also took an extension cord for my phone charger so it would reach the bed. there are not alot of plug in the room that where close. Even the nurses thought that was a good idea! And a pillow to hold against ur tummy for when u cough and the car ride home, helps with the bumps in the road!

My surgery was on sept 12 th. the only thing I would add to the list would be socks and tennis shoes. My dr was insistent on walking as much as possible. I spent two nights and walked in my hospital socks ( w treads) on hard tile floor. My incisions are sore but my calves are killing me from walking with no support! It hurts to walk even today which is 4 days post op.
