Hi Beverly! Don't forget any meds you take before surgery. Just make sure you ask Dr. K about them before taking them. YOUR pillow, if you have a hard time with hotel pillows (I do). Otherwise, sounds about right to me! I'll be praying for you and sending you positive thoughts! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
