Hey I got a walker and a toilet seat riser $16.00 from amazon $37.00 I honesty think it I don't know what I would do without them. :)

You sound perfectly set and like A1 said, if you forgot something, send someone to go get it for you. I came home an hour after surgery! I would have loved to stay overnight! The nurses will take care of everything. I hate kiwi, so the only thing I have done was walk, alot. Every 2 hours or so and wear those compression socks they give you during surgery. I am post op day 5 and I have stopped wearing them now. Drink LOTS of water (which was no problem for me, I had severe dry mouth!)

Thank you and I'm also gonna wear the stockings. Also were you sent home with an antibiotic? Because I'm not and I don't know if I should be yes dry mouth and the scratchy throat ugh. The hospital stay wad definitely nice. We are being discharged now . Are you feeling better? What day wad the worst for you so far and what are you taking. Thank you both for taking your time to calm down the hypercondrac :)

First and foremost - Calm Down! Take a deeeeeep breath and just relax. It appears that you have all your ducks in a row, and if you have forgotten something, send someone out to get it for you! You are lucky you get to stay in a hospital overnight - i came home the same day! They (hospital staff) will certainly let you know if you need anything else before you go home. Good Luck with your surgery! We'll see you on the flat side!

I feel like you did! My surgery is a few weeks away. Glad you are done. How was the anesthesia? I'm afraid of not waking up and blood clots

The anesthesia was fine I told them before hand that I get serve nausea (which I do )and they took extra precautions . So tell the anesthesiologist that. Are you staying at the hospital overnight? If you are they put these things on your legs the massage them if not cvs sells compression stockings wear them for 5 to 7 days also eat kiwi 3 times a day. Also take bromelian it helps with that and healing. I'm post op one day so I'll keep you posted. Also ask them to give you the night before for anxiety. You be fine :) sending happy thoughts and prayers
