TV there was TV at the hospital?  I was in ICU for 5 days and couldn't focus on the tv when I finally got to my room.  The only thing I remember seeing on tv was the big red dot for hurrican katrina and them trying to decide if tampa was on the hit list...Whew!  Glad it missed tampa!

Oh Yeah, I had lots of lollipops post surgery after I got home as my mouth was always so dry!  Would have been nice at the hospital.

I ate lots of popcicles and chicken noodle soup post surgery. I had a hard time keeping other things down but popcicles felt really good.

I didn't use it in the hospital but found a heatable neck wrap very helpful after I was discharged for neck and jaw pain.

I agree 100% Lynn D. I have several microwavable wraps and I love them!!! My favorite one is a cherry pit pack, however, the surgical nurse said a tube sock filled with rice would work and it will.
Take care,
Lynn

I took my MOSHI pillow and it was really great to have with me.  For those who don't know what a MOSHI pillow is, it is a small pillow filled with the very, very small little beads.  It felt great after my surgery.
