Thinking ahead

[alee_grrl]

So I decided that there were definitely two things that will be vital for surgery recovery: a wedge pillow and a laptop tray for the bed. I remember needing to be propped up after my gallbladder surgery and I wedge pillow will help make that not only possible but comfortable. Since I don't own a tv, let alone have one in the bedroom, a laptop tray is vital for post surgery vegging.

I'll work with family members to figure out some easy meals that are low-yeast/low carb friendly for the first two weeks. And I have some comfy shorts, tanks and t-shirts that I can wear over those weeks.

So can folks think of other things that might be helpful or necessary to put in place before surgery?

All excellent points. I do have a couple of nightgowns. May pick up one more just to be on the safe side. I'm seriously hoping that they manage everything laparoscopically but if they do have to do larger incisions I will definitely rent a walker for a short period of time.
