Actually 3-days 19-hours and 10-minutes until hospital check-in time. 7:30-AM Monday (CST)

Can you tell I am excited??? During pre-op appt this week the surgeon told me I also didn't have to so Magnesium Citrate the day before surgery, that rocks!!!

I find out tomorrow when I go in on Monday....

Good luck. I hope you get an early time, easier that way. I talked to the surgeons office today and they just bumped me up to 8am instead 10am, so thats good. Im working the next three days and then one off and then bam, surgery day!

Ya. 10:30 but my surgeons office called today and left a message to call them back. Didn't get it till late so I am worried the docs have to change my date. Im sure its just to check in with me.

I go in at 5am!

What are you taking with you

Me? I am thinking to take my pjs, toiletries, comfy clothes or a dress for discharge, my book, laptop, cellphone and charger, notebook with pen, and maybe a robe. How about you?

I'm thinking comfy clothes, toiletries, someone said lip balm, cell phone, charger, and can't think what else. I was thinking a robe, but they said they have some if I need one. On my booklet about the hospital, it said I can't use a cellphone in the room...but I'm going to anyways.

I am a nurse and worked in a hospital for five years. There is no reason you cannot have a cell phone. Old analog cell phones use to mess with the tele monitors but cell phones of this decade do not. Most the nurses should let you bc there is no reason you can't.

I've always heard cellphones are fine except near the oscillating ventilator

I used my celly all day when I was in for my stay. Even watched NFL Sunday Ticket on the ipad. It was not a problem at all... Kind nurses even charged my phone for me when it got drained and I couldnt get up and do it myself!
