Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Hi-I'm scheduled for 12/12. What should I be doing now? I treated myself and bought a cute little dual Cuisinart blender/food processor, have laid in 2 cartons of chicken soup broth, my mother bought me a great bathrobe from Lord and and my husband has the day off. I bought some SF CIB, but my daughter liked it so much, I need to get some more. What other staples should I have? I have decided that I will not blend meat and rely more on eggs and milk for protein. My Christmas shopping is DONE thanks to Deal-Finder.com. I feel as if there MUST be more to do! Counting down until the 12th Lynn ===== ***************Adopt a retired racing greyhound...a bet everyone wins!****************** __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Hi Lynn, Get some SF Popsicles, crystal light or any other SF types of drinks, SF vitamins if your Dr. requires them (Flintstones are common), bouillon to help with " dizzies " , and egg beaters, SF pudding mixes (not pistacio..too many nuts). You may want to have some Lactaid on hand as some people become a bit lactose intolerant, especially in the beginning. I too found that my personal own hygiene items were helpful when in the hospital, some fresh smelling body spray, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, your own pillow if you're picky, and even a fan if you could...some med's cause the sweats. Also some oversized jammies, or wear the johnnies they provide. If I think of anything else, I'll post them!!! Best of luck to you! I probably won't be able to wish you a personal good luck wish as I'll be on my honeymoon then, so BEST OF LUCK sweetie!!! Dawn T minus 11 days and counting... Hi-I'm scheduled for 12/12.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2000 Report Share Posted December 1, 2000 Lynn, I am going to let the postoppers answer your question. All I have to say is if I am doing a countdown until my surgery, you should definitely do one. Good luck on the 12th.
