Backtome-soon 6 Posted November 6, 2012 I'm scheduled for November 8. Nervous but excited. I just turned 50 about 6 weeks ago and I feel my life is just about to get started. I'm praying all goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 6, 2012 Wondering if anyone can help me find a loophole here... so i need to be at the hospital at 6am, and its about 45 min away (when you factor traffic). I currently live about 20 minutes away from my parents house (which is my legal address). Trying to think of a way i'd be able to vote, but polling places open at 6 (my district is 20 min away, not sure if i HAVE to vote there, first timer...) IDK, anyone see a way to vote and arrive on time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AaronRene14 18 Posted November 6, 2012 So I'm in the check in room waiting to be called back and now it's kinda hitting me. I did sleep a bit but still vary tired. I'll check in again once I'm out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I slept 2 hour the day before my surgery and taking naps as I sit here in my hospital room. Best wishes, you'll do great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris RN 18 Posted November 6, 2012 Hi' date=' My surgery is November 7. Im trying to get everything ready, Im nervous and excited. Just trying to figure out what I need to bring to the hospital[/quote'] Hmmm. Bring some good sweats and slippers, lip balm, I brought my iPad and iPod. Glasses, they wouldn't let me bring contacts for obvious reasons. I think those are the biggest helps this far. The lip balm has saved my life, they still have me NPO ( nothing by mouth) and my mouths so dry and lips would have been chapped, definitely my best friend so far, and sweat pants are so comfortable, I hate sitting here naked though lol.

fazekasr 30 Posted November 8, 2012 Had my surgery the 6th. Home now just a little discomfort. Hospital staff was great worst dry mouth ever the first day. The only way to sum up the discomfort is a punch in the stomach by a big brother. Well going to get comfy in my own bed so good nite all and god bless.
