Before Surgery "To Do" Lists, Anyone?

[Kathy Pitcher 102]

Does anyone have a little list of things you are checking off before surgery?

Mine looks something like this:

-Catch up on laundry

-Grocery shopping

-Deep clean the house

-Pedicure

-Spend some time with my family

- Pack hospital bag

What about you? Vets? Anything you wish you would have done before surgery?

That is a very good list. I also got my hair cut and my nails done. Explained to daughter that I wanted clean sheets on the bed the day I came home. Paid any bills that would be due in the next couple of weeks.

My list is similar. I just bought a new robe and slippers for the hospital and I'm stocking up on groceries so my family won't have to worry about it for a few weeks. I'm a coupon queen and I can't stand the idea of anyone else doing the shopping and overpaying! Also stocking up for my 3 day pre-op liquid diet. We're going to hire someone to clean since I am working right up to surgery. We're going to have dinner at a couple of my favorite restaurants beforehand also. Lastly, working on lining up help since my hubby is an accountant and can't take time off this time of year and I have a 3 year old.

I did all that stuff and I bought a heating pad. It was so great to have esp after the trip home. I lived with that thing for three weeks.

Good luck!
