3pm is my time and i'm getting nervous.

i didn't sleep much last night and it's after midnight and i'm still up tonight.

i have to spend the night so i've already packed - too much i'm guessing lol

what do you bring for an over night in the clinic?

i know they'll have me up and walking so i'm bringing my comfy pj bottoms but will sleep in shorts

i'll be glad when it's all over and i'm bitching about the pain. at least i'll know that my new life has begun and i'm leaving my old life behind.:thumbup::thumbup::)

Good Luck!

I also spent the night in the hospital.

I didnt really bring much with me. I brought a pair of shorts to wear under my gown while I was walking around the hospital, and pajama pants to wear when i was going home.

I brought my toothbrish and toothpaste and a book to read, but I really didnt have time to read because of the walking, and when I was in bed, I was drifting in and out of sleep because of the morphine. I was literally taking a sip of Water, then falling asleep with the Water still in my mouth while spilling the rest of it down the front of me. That happened like 12 times.

Dont take any valuables with you. i brought my cell phone so that my mom could contact people to let them know how i did, but other than that, I didnt bring anything else.

Good Luck again!!!!!

you are right, it has been VERY hot here the past few weeks. What made you decide to come to Richmond?

originally it was the route my mil said they used to take when they drove to florida in the 70's to avoid the mountians in the winter but i don't think we were on the right route.

we thought we'd head over there and check out the route in the summer.

so we spent 4 days in richmond 2 in savannah and a week in disney world.

i think if we drive to florida in the winter we'll stick with our regular 77/79 route and just go straight down

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
