Guest guest Posted July 13, 2000 Report Share Posted July 13, 2000 Hi , You don't want on my packing list!!!!!! We drove 1300 miles and my Cadillac looked something from the Beverly Hillbillies it was so jammed packed!!!! Like I said before I like to be prepared....ha....ha.... Can you tell I'm an ex- Girl Scout :-) I took 4 pillows and an afghan for the ride home, I took enough clothes for a month and about 4 pairs of shoes. Not to mention all my beauty supplies......I was way over packed. I even took my Juiceman Juicer and never even got it out of the car. Your needs will be very limited. You will be in hospital gowns that are so big they wrap around you so I never even got my housecoat out. My IV didn't come out until I was almost ready to leave (although it should have come out much sooner) so I never even put on my own gown. I think I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth but I'm not sure. I was kind of out of it. I didn't even need my houseshoes...they put socks on you. When you are at the hotel it depends on what you want to do. I got dressed and went to a church breakfast in Raleigh at the Farmers Market with my cousin on Saturday. Then on Sunday I even put on pantyhose and a dress and went to Church with my cousin. I had my surgery on Wednesday. A large group of post-ops met for lunch one day and we had a great time. So you may need to take some socializing clothes just in case. Some post-ops went swimming 2 days after surgery. It just depends on what your plans are. Just have fun and enjoy yourself......enjoy your new friends.
