Most people don't agree with me- but I find heat conforming - I brought my heating pad- and it's been a savior. I still use it 16 weeks post op.

A good strong finger to push that PCA button And slippers so you can walk aa much as possible. Good luck!!!

I took my robe (didn't use it), slippers (did), chapstick, and my Kindle (didn't use). I slept most of the time and kept my finger on the button.

Actually, I didn't take anything. Well, I took me. I guess I wasn't thinking clearly. I could of used some chapstick, but that was it. I stayed for 2 nights.

I so agree with the heating pad and chapstick. The heating pad was great when the gas pains came. Also used it on my lower back becasue I was cold.

Thank you so much everyone! We live 30 mins away from the hospital so remembering everything is a must! Gas is too darn expensive to make unnecessary trips!!!
