All those on the 28th count down with me...

6 more sleeps!!!

I will most likely be the first in and first out as I am in Australia. What is the best advice you have been given through these forums?

6 more sleeps

Was suggested to take comfortable, easy to put on slippers and Chapstick. Any other good recommendations?

I would say tooth brush, tooth paste, socks, chap stick, big night gown ( so that it want stick to you), hair brush and comb ( depending on how you do your hair), your breathing machine, your own toiletries.

Why earplugs?

Why earplugs?

It can be quite noisy. In my hospital, they have single rooms, but my closest neighbor must have been hard of hearing because her TV was quite loud. Plus, often my door was left ajar and I could hear hallway conversations.

Thanks Molly! Great tip.

Any suggestions on the gas?

Wow I would not have thought of the eqr plugs. But I will bring a pair just in case. At my hospital we have private rooms.

Thanks Molly! Great tip. Any suggestions on the gas?

Move around! Burp as much as you can/need to! It will get stuck and hurt more in certain places, left side is the worst! The only way for it to move, is for you to move! Walk! & let it out however you have to! it took over a week for mine to finally clear out!

A week... That does not sound like fun! Will make sure I get on the move right away. Thanks

Hear you on the sleep...already very broken...

Last day of work is done. Boss is a nosey parker. Managed to squirm out of there without revealing too much. Sigh! Not back till 11//12. Hope it's enough.

I didn't even make it to work the past two days. My stomach has not agreed with the liquids only and I haven't felt safe to wander too far from my powder room. (Sorry, too much info.)

My nerves are starting to kick in now.
