Thanks to each and every one of you. I feel as prepared as I can be.

I'm 3 days behind you--I'll be going to the "castle" on Friday the day after Thanksgiving and I haven't even packed my suitcase yet--I think I'm putting it off because I'm still a little nervous.
Good luck, we'll be here thinking about you and sending prayers. Let us know how you are doing when you get a chance.

Thanks,
Cindy

Do you wear contacts lenses or glasses? I also got some colace and some of these wet wipes for bathroom use that were great for bm's. I found them at walmart. They have walmart brand and a few other brands. Theyare great because one minute I seem to have diarrhea and the next I am constipated beyond belief so my bottom is sore and these are damp and feel better than dry toilet paper. Lynn

Thanks Lynn - don't need to wear the glasses but the wipes are good thinking, great add. Thanks for the advice.

I go in on Monday and have yet to pack my bag. I have been so busy trying to get the house and kids ready I didn't even think about it till now. Guess I need to get on the ball hun?

Good luck on your surgery when you go!
