Newbie - Have a date -- Yeah!

[Guest guest]

Hi-- thought I would introduce myself & come out of hiding from

just reading everyone's posts to participating!!

I am a young 54 years old and live in IL!

I have gone through all of the doctor visits and am about to

embark on surgery in a week Dec. 16th!!! I have mixed emotions

--- nervous, excited --- etc. --- but I also am soooo busy with work

(teach school special ed) , getting ready for the holidays (need

to be ready before next week) --- I haven't really had time to dwell

on the surgery!

Would like to know what things I should take with me to the

hospital!!! Know I cannot take my laptop! I will miss having it and

the opportunity to email & communicate with friends!

Guess I will be busy with other things and probably won't feel like

it anyway!!

Any other suggestions for me as I cross over to the beginning of

the rest of my life!!

Hugs & stuff to all!!! I will wait to wish you all a Happy Holiday

until after my surgery!!!!

COngratulations of your new beginning. You will do fine. I did not need

hardly anything I brought with me to the hospital. I brought 1 book incase I

wasnted to read, which I did not and a search a word puzzle book which I did

use,

make sure to bring a pen for it, lol... Bring your normal bathroom stuff you

like, toothpaste, powder, brush, ect...You really do not need anything else. I

read in a book that a lady suggested bring an old wooden cooking spoon in case

you cannot reach your butt when you go do #2, she said you can wrap the tissue

around the spoon and use it to wipe ( of course throw the sppon away at the

end of needing it ) I actually brought one but did not need it, I was able to

reach everything okay. Good Luck to you and God Bless. I hope you have a very

Merry Christmas, I know you are on your way to a great New Year

Robin!!Thanks for the well wishes --- and congratulations on the

pregnancy!! OH yeah the fantastic weight loss too! Wow a new

life for you and a new life added to your family!!! How exciting!

Hope you are doing well! ? July will be here before you know it!!

Enjoy every minute of the pregnancy! Is it your first?? The first

time you hear the heartbeat or see the Ultra sound (which they

did not have when I delivered many years ago) & the first time

they kick & you feel it!! These are momenous occasions! Cherish

them. We won't discuss the birth process!

I am a grandma -- Aidan 3 1/2 years old (to daughter) & Connor 3

months old (to son).Children are such a blessing and

grandchildren are a double blessing! I hope your parents will get

as much joy as I get from watching my daughter and her son

interact!!! Anyway keep me informed --- I can be the babies GBF

grandma!!!

Thanks again for the warm wishes!! Talk to you from the other

side!!

Candi-- I am from Wheeling -- a suburb Northwest of Chicago!

Sorry I did nit get back to you sooner but I had surgery last Tues -Dec.

16th

I just came home yesterday!! Everything went well I am sore but fine -- on

liquiids & of course water!! walking as much as possible!! Just woke up this

morning with gas --- trying to walk since it helps the gas and gas is

uncomfortable.

Looking forward to healing and thus getting onwith all the new things I need

to do for a healthy life!

Are you from around here??

Big congrats on the surgery!!!!! I am from southern Illinois near St Louis.

I was hoping we might be nearer.

Walking definitely helps alot!!!!! I find the more I can walk the less

troubles I have. Not that I have alot but I really don't want any if I can

possibly help it.

You will do great!!!
