close to the edge Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 my best advice would be to have someone with you at the hospital to help you get water fruit etc help you out of bed into chair to the bath for a walk nurses are to busy and dont have time for this sort of thing and you WILL need to do all of the above you will need help make sure you write questions down so you dont forget to ask the drs when they make rounds make sure you speak with the anastesiologist (SP) discuss pain med options before they arise so if you need it there is a back up plan in place waiting for the doctor to get back to the nurse to authorize changes is time consuming and un nessesary suffering for you take your own pillow your own pillow just makes ya feel better ipod with your own soothing tunes to help drown out hospital noise slipper socks its too hard to put regular slipers on and off and it helps keep your feet clean and warm moisturizer with aromatherapy of a soothing sent you like it just feels nice... have our visitor bring you fresh drinks like your favorite tea or smoothie fresh fruit ear pugs and blinkers helps ya rest cant think of anything else right now i ate alot of good food and wine the weeks before my surgery best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
