Am I forgetting something?

[kliichow 42]

My hospital pre-op is tomorrow and I have been desperately trying to get everything in order. Here's my list, so far...

Done:

Packed phone with favorite music

Deep cleaned house so it doesn't completely fall apart while I'm down

Secured sitters and relative caregivers for 3 year old

Bought post-op supplies (sugar-free popsicles, jell-o, drink mixes, Protein powders, broth, bouillon, Soups, etc.)

Located living will and healthcare surrogate documents and discussed with family

Put in for medical leave/short-term disability at work

Started journal

To Do:

Take measurements

Take 'before' photos

Record specific long-term and short-term goals

Pack hospital bag

Is there something else you did to mentally and/or physically prepare that made things easier?
