Thanks to Kathy for keeping up with all of us- certainly more details than I can handle right now! Lol

To reiterate Kathy's prayers- speedy recovery for our post-op friends! We are all anxiously waiting for updates!

For our 3/5 friends- good luck tomorrow and a pray for restful sleep tonight and a smooth and easy recovery tomorrow!

I love doing it. Keeps me motivated. :-D

Oh I have been packed for a week lol I am traveling light. I figure its just one night and I can't really do much so I have mostly entertainment packed and toiletries and my favorite pillow

Can't wait to be on the post op side! 10 more days!! Hope everyone that's already post op are doing great! Can't wait to see your updates!

Has anyone heard from our March go getters let?

Janel

Does anyone know if my husband can stay with me over night? My surgery is March 6

At Mayo they have futons in the room for the spouses. Call the hospital and ask them what type of accommodations they have for spouses
