<< Any post-ops want to share their

thoughts? >>

This is based upon previous major surgery a year ago...not Dr. R's procedure.

Take this with a grain of salt. The hospital gowns were more convenient for

dealing with the ever-present tripod. The reason is that they have snaps at

the shoulder which allow easier access. If you have nighties that you can

alter by putting snaps or velcro at the shoulder...go for it!

Besides...we'll only be holding the tripod races for two days...so maybe we

won't care whether we have our own nighties or the hospital gowns! The

hospital gowns are, after all, such a fashion statement. Drafts are

preventable by putting one on " backwards " like a duster and tying it at the

front. Let's live dangerously! Dee in MI.

<< you'll have the IV in your arm,

TED hose and SCD's on your legs. >>

Karin and all: I'm flashing on the old Stormin' Norman Gulf War media

reports. Could this SCD business be pronounced 'SCUD' and would that mean

that we'll all be SCUD MUFFINS for wearing them?

Just thought I'd check that out...

Hey !

Wear the hospital gowns...you want to be comfortable and not have anything

binding around your waist at all. Remember, you'll have the IV in your arm,

TED hose and SCD's on your legs. Bring toiletries plus a robe and slippers

for cruising the halls in style. Don't bring alot of " crap " to the hospital

because the stay is so short it just isn't worth it. Of course, I brought a

book (which now, 2 months later I'm reading) plus crosswords, and hardly

looked at them. Also remember to bring whatever you'll want to wear home.

See Ya!

<< " BOOTY CALL " . ;)

let's say they had quite an amusing time with that! >>

Let me see if I have this straight...the call button was connected to the

booty shakers who shook their booties to get to the room of the Princess

where the booty shakers quickly retrieved the Princess' booties from under

her bed (with the wubbie, THE pillow, and the fragrant vial) and then set

about replacing the Princess' booties on her dainty little feet? Darn,

woman!...I think I'll have to take my sister's tiara out of her glass box

while she's sleeping and give it to you! She'll never see me anyway; she's

twenty mattresses up and still hasn't felt the pea. Stevie...we're gonna

meet in person one of these days and I'm going to give you the biggest hug!

You really make me smile! Dee in MI.

Dee and Karin, etc:

The scud things are cute, but I got booties (not full leg ones) that

slipped on and off so I could walk easily (I was a bit of a

marathoner)..the nurses who had me still laugh because when I got back

from my walks, I had to call them to help me get the inflata-shoes back on

(no stomach bending, etc..was the best idea)...So once I got back in bed

and all settled, I'd hit the call button, they'd come on and say, " what's

up? "

and all I had to say were just 2 words and they knew what I meant....

:

When I got my spinal operation I was in so much pain that I refuse to be

pinch one more time... No injections... (the blood thinning meds...). So,

I had to walk a lot and use the SCD stockings all night.

I asked the nurses to give me two gowns... one opened to the back, the

other to the front! (Flashing the others in the hospital is not too cool!).

I was up and walking at 5:00 am... My two cents...
