  1. Happy 38th Birthday spark!

  2. They've got a couple of close hotels that they give you a deal at.
  3. I stayed in a hotel with my fiancé. Good time to watch a bunch of movies.
  4. I would stay longer if you have the option, I don't think I would've been comfortable enough to fly 2 days after. I'm in Edmonton.
  5. Youre welcome to pm me or phone me if you'd like.
  6. I live in Alberta and just had my surgery in TO with Dr. Cobourn on Aug 24. Make sure you don't have to lift your bag, roller only. Is your surgery wed or Friday ? You have to stay at least 2 nights after the surgery. If its planned for Friday then you'd arrive Thursday and the soonest you could leave is Sunday. That's a long flight, and sitting puts pressure on your stiches, I'd honestly stay an extra day if you can. Driving sucks because of the angle you're at so definitely take a small pillow with you to be between you and the seat belt... And if you need to cough. Where do you live in Alberta?

    Pasta As A Soft Food?

    Lol, it's weird how nervous you get about eating.
  8. Do you think it's ok to have a small amount of pasta during the soft food stage?
  9. I was told that since caffiene is a diuretic to limit the intake to 8oz per day. They want you really well hydrated before surgery and caffiene can counteract that.
  10. That's a good idea, I think I'll try that when I get home.
  11. I called and they said to give it a couple of hours and then call back to say if it was less, the same, or more. It's now gone away.... I guess I worried for nothing.
  12. It's still there. I broke down and had some codein 1.5 hours ago. The feeling is either a little less, I'm getting used to it, or the codeine is slightly masking it but they're both still 'asleep'. I'm going to call the doctor in the am.
  13. Both my arms have been 'asleep' for hours and I don't have full feeling in my hands. (everything is tingly) I've tried lying down and sitting up and getting my arms massaged. I didn't take a painkiller for the last 7 hours incase that was the cause. Can someone tell me if this is normal? Any suggestions to get rid of it?
