cb- I’m having mine next Wednesday and I am hoping to bring…. Slippers, baby wipes, mobile phone and charger, yes: it was suggested that we wear something that is front button tops because we won’t be able to lift our arms. I plan to just wear a track suit zip ups which is more easier. Normal pillow for the journey home (to be used as a shield against the seat belt). Have a good bath in the morning, as you may not be able to wash your hair for a week, unless someone would do it for you. I will also be buying some dry shampoo which would really help with my long hair.
By the looks of it you go home as soon as the surgeon is ready to revisit you to check you. This is all depending on how much he had to attend to after you.
My best wishes cb- keep me updated
