tips for the first week post-op

[Guest guest]

To be honest, I've been deluding myself and I've stopped reading the posts from

this group because I'm terrified of surgery. But now it's coming up on November

30th and I have to face reality and get myself prepared. As I read through the

last few weeks, you guys are amazing! and I feel much better knowing that

someone else is successfully surviving this ordeal.

I'm having upper and lower surgery and will be wired shut for 6 weeks. I've

purchased the zip and squeeze bags, a very good blender, and have scheduled my

support base for the first week post-op.

Is there anything that anyone recommends getting for the first week post-op? or

any week post-op? =)

As a side note, my friend is having surgery 3 weeks after me. Is it realistic

that I'll be able to fly across country and take care of her for 4-5 days?

hugs everyone!
