Maria,
Totally understand about the nervousness, antsyness.
Wednesday will be here before you know it. I'm sure you are staying busy.
Don't need to bring much except for chapstick, bathrobe, sweats for the ride home. Maybe a pair of sturdy slippers, but they give you the slipper socks which might be all you need. No need to bring make up! As we say, the first 3 days don't count because, well, you have probably read posts. It is usually pretty challenging with headaches/wonkiness/dizziness or whatever symptoms you get. Everyone is so different. Keep tabs on the headaches if you can, if that is a problem. I didn't ask for more morphine because I thought it had made me sick the night of surgery. May have been just that I HAD brain surgery. I personally had bad headaches, but no dizziness (I couldn't believe it!).That's because the tumor had already smashed the balance nerve, and I had already compensated.
Your kids, age 6 and 5, don't need to be told much. That's what is so great about that age.
"Mommy is going to get a boo boo fixed on or in her head, so when I come back, I'll look different!
They will ooh and ahh.
One of the guys from a while back made kind of a little game out of it, explaining the doctor needed to take something out of his head. He then showed her a potato post op ! I think she was much younger than your kids. It was cute.
He has a picture of her looking at him like"You've got to be kidding. I'm not THAT dumb."! with the potato in his hand.
So good luck, prayers and good vibes going your way next WED
Maureen
See you in postie land
