Its Wednesday and surgery is Friday am. Bathroom is clean and bedroom is neat enough for sanity. Heres things to do asap if you are a procrastinator like me....do it tonight or tomorrow!
Can't take a shower for the first 3 days...
-dry shampoo
-wash cloths
For when I can shower, but still can not wet my stitches:
-saran wrap
-tape
Clothes
-shirts
-hoodies
-loose pants that can fit over the big ass immobilizer
-shorts
-loose fitting clothes that are comfortable
-put clothes somewhere easy to get to (need to do!)
Food (need to prep!)
-no junk food. Healthy foods only! Don't eat like shit. Eating clean promotes healing...so eat good and feel good.
-for me: chicken, kale, sweet potato, oat bran, fruits (banana, berries), almond milk and protein shake
-crackers and ginger ale for upset stomach just in case
-3 or 4 gallons of water to cover the next few days
Prescription is set up already, so no bs at CVS Friday
The night before:
-charge ipad, laptop, bring papers to read, lab notebook
-buy a bag of ice to put in the freezer
-meal prep
-wash anything last minute
-pack clothes bag
-eat something thats not greasy and gross before midnight. No food or drink after midnight!
Day of:
-clothes bag
-pillow in the car
-paperwork and id
-crutches and cryo machine are at the hospital waiting for me
-crutches and cryo machine are at the hospital waiting for me
The rest I am doing on the fly. But, I think all bases are covered.
