Default Hi Greg

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. All I can say is make a list of things you want to take with you. I personally use a lot of chapstick, and in the hospital it's worse, seems like my lips and mouth get sooo dry. Do you have your own house shoes (slippers)? Also, make sure you have comfortable clothing for the ride home, maybe some loose fitting sweat pants or pajama bottoms. Good luck on Thursaday. Hope you have an uneventful surgery. Best of luck.

Sharon

Default Good Luck to you....

I am still pre-op, so I have no advice, just good thoughts to send your way.
