Re: 12 days til explant! Thanks Pamela!

Thanks Pamela,

I had not thought of favorite munchies and extra pillows. I'll take

a belt just in case.

I've decided to take my electric blanket too. Since my health

issues, I've been cold night and day year-round. So, I'm going to

do that for me, even if it takes up half my luggage space.

I'm also going to take my stuffed bunny rabbit, Woobie. I'm 44 and

have a wabbit named Woobie...my inner child is still alive, thank

God....J

Hi J,

Woobie is a definite necessity! The warm blanket is excellent too. I made sure to bring thick socks too as sometimes hotel floors seem scratchy or the bathroom floors seem cold with regular socks on. The one thing I might do differently is see if the hotel has disabled-access bathrooms, the kind that have the sprayer for shower rather than the regular shower. If available it is wonderful for washing the hair and keeping bandages dry. Like I said, I think Dr. M moves along more quickly with stitch removal and such, maybe not even having drains, so that may be a moot point.

I am 2 1/2 weeks out of explant and feel really good, just occasional irritation around the nipples not much at all. You will do great!
