I'm feeling good!

Dr. Cantor is an odd duck, but an amazing surgeon who actually cares about you. He's strict, but he's got his reasons.

You'll have a drain and a catheter, neither of which you'll care about in the hospital. The drain is annoying at home, but not too bad. The tape they give you in the hospital is really rough on your skin, so try to get some other types too.

Speak up if your bed is uncomfortable. I spent hours being unable to straighten my legs because the nurse couldn't figure out the controls.

Bring your own nonslip slippers or socks because the ones they give you do not fit and fall off easily, getting caught in your IV pole.

The food trays are nice and I loved the popsicle. The veggie broth was the best I've ever had. If you have dietary restrictions, let them know because they will just mindlessly bring you a set tray.

The time in the hospital is just so boring. I pretty much just stared at the TV and drank my Water. They kick you out of bed at 6am, so there's no option to even really nap. Seriously, so boring.
