Surgery tomorrow 5:30 AM

Surgery is tomorrow morning. Im a nervous wreck and I can't figure out if I have everything I need for tomorrow. I am staying a week with my mom since I have a little girl that loves to be carried and cuddle just by me.

Tips to get thru the first week? And when did you guys went back to work. I only have one week off and I'm freaking put its not going to be a lot of time to recover.

Good luck! My surgery is Tuesday. What are you taking to the hospital with you? Looking for suggestions on what I should take with me.

Good luck to you!!!!! Wow we are so close!!!! I emailed you my list!!! How are you feeling??

Yay! Congrats, it will be over before you know it! Godspeed!

Congratulations on your surgery, best wishes for a great outcome. Some people do just fine with just a week off, but 2-4 weeks is probably more reasonable.

Congratulations and best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I am sure your Mum will be a great help and your little girl will be fine, no doubt.

Gentle hugs

How exciting! And lucky you to have your mom there to help.

Congrats to the newbies! You really don't need much more than the clothes you plan to leave in, and some flip flops. I was only there long enough to be sleeved, wake up, walk, sleep walk some more, pee and leave. You don't really need much. a toothbrush. You'll want to take a toothbrush and a hair brush or a comb. I took off a month. It was heaven. I had a wonderful recovery. A rough 3 or 4 days, but after that, it was awesome. I used that time to not only recover, but to re-learn how to eat, and to do some hiking with the hubs. It was awesome. Oh, I said that already.

Good luck!

Thank you for the great wishes!!! I'm so nervous about tomorrow!!! :)

How exciting for you!! I only took a week off and it was fine. I have a desk job. Just don't over do it. If you get tired, rest. You won't feel so great the first few days but soon after that you will start feeling better
