Surgery tomorrow!

I got my medical clearance forms, dress im wearing... And that's it. That's all I'm bringing. Am I missing anything anyone?? I'm so exited. Scared for the IV input becUse they're not numbing it first they're going to shove it in which terrifies me but yeah. Anything else I should bring or think of?

Good luck for tomorrow. Try not to worry and get a good night's rest beforehand. As for what to take with you, your own comfortable clothes/pyjamas would probably make you feel more relaxed (it did me!).

The IV, if it's by cannula, it's just a sharp scratch, I wouldn't worry!

Thanks so much everyone!!! Slippers and pillow it is!!!

Good luck tomorrow!

My surgery was last Monday and I packed way more than I needed. I only used Chapstick and a pillow on the way home. The hospital provided everything else!

Let us know how it goes! See you on the other side!
