What are you doing to prepare before Monday? Are you prepared? I live alone and I still have so much to do. Some things on my list include getting a pedicure tomorrow, doing my hair, mopping, cleaning the house and the carpet, buying my broths (I don't have my postop diet instructions yet and don't really know what to buy, but I know that I will need at least that), and finish clearing the refrigerator out of things that are no longer welcome.

I think I'm ready! Have to be at the hospital at 5:15 AM. I just finished all the laundry and cleaned the house.

Are you packing anything special for the hospital stay? I plan on bringing shoes that I can slip into easily for walking, since they have us up walking every four hours. I'll also bring my I-pad and head phones to watch movies on. I think we have to stay in just the hospital gown until we leave.....or can we wear anything of our own??
