Thanks Mrs Quiggle! I'm going to pack my bag when my hubby gets in from work .

How are you feeling now? I'm really nervous but excited at the same time.

And this pre op diet is killing me!!! I've cheated only the once on Friday night I cooked fish fingers , roast potatoes & mixed veg in gravy for my kiddies and I couldn't help my self I had 4 roasties 2 fish fingers & tbs of mixed veg .
That's a small portion for me! lol xxxx

I'm taking my Kindle and my pda, and a loose dress for going home so it doesn't rub on the dressings. Also slip-on sandals as bending to do up buckles will probably be tricky.
Kate's list looks comprehensive enough, but I'll add a towel and tissues.

Good luck for Tuesday ladies!

Boots do a dry mouth spray. I found it really useful. Especially when i had the oxygen thingy up nose! That made my mouth really dry. X

Don't forget a towel X

Don't forget a towel X

I know lol thanks for reminding me am terrible can't believe I forgot haha x

 

[Mrs Quiggle]

I forgot I had a towel in there, just a hand one as I know they provide towels. Tissues too, they're in my toiletries bag.

I'm excited, not stressed like I was before last time at this stage. I think I'm more anxious about it getting cancelled again this time rather than the op. I was terribly nervous right up till the night before when it all went and in the morning I was totally calm just excited. I have an idea why that was though.

What time do you have to be at the hospital. We have to be there at 7am which means getting up at 5.30am to have a shower. Luckily the hospital is only 15 mins drive that early in the morning.

Everytime ive had to go into hospital ive always took a plastic bag so i can pop my underwear in when i take them off save them falling out the bag when im routeing around in there looking for my lip balm or something!....lol

Also great idea about the slip on shoes il be remembering that one....

My pre ops are 24/29th of November and im predicted to have surgery before xmas so i need to get my bag and act together,Ive bought a big huge hoody to wear when I come home so it doesn't rub on my scar...Il be checking back on this to see what great idea's you all come up with x

My pillow was the best thing i took with me. Used it whilst I was in hospital and was a definited for the journey home. I didnt even use my own nighties had to stick to the hospital gowns due to cathether in situ and drips etc.
Took my laptop but didnt use it as didnt feel 100%. My mobile didnt work in my room. Definitely take someloose clothing to go home with and pair of slip on sandals/shoes as previously said you dont want to be bending fiddling with buckles or laces. xx
