Re: Best Wishes to our May 01 Princesses
As you prepare for your surgery, I wanted to send you and best wishes for your surgery and recovery.
I will be joining you as your Hostess on the Recovery Thread for all those having surgery April 27th - May 3rd. This will be your place to be encouraged, to find support, and to meet others who are on this journey with you. Look for it at the top of the Post-Op Forum after your surgery.
As you are preparing your “special place” for recovery, here are a few items that many have found helpful.
-- Gas X
-- Stool softener (your doctor may suggest a specific one)
-- Wipes (gentle, non-alcoholic – more soothing than tissue)
-- Heating pad (helps to ease the pain)
-- Pillow for tummy support (especially if you cough, sneeze, or laugh)
-- Note pad & Pen (to help you keep track of your meds)
It is normal to have questions and be nervous. I will be by your side each step of the way. Try to sit back and relax and have a little “you” time. (bubble bath, chatting with friends, go out for coffee , take in a movie) Make a list of those last minute things you want to get done and won’t be able to do after surgery: last minute cleaning, grocery shopping, making meals and freezing them, having a special time with you family and loved ones.
Here are a couple of links you may find helpful:
Remember this all important rule – this is time to pamper the princess.
I will see you on the other side.
