Preparing for op! Any tips/advice?

My operation is booked for 12th March at First Choice in Preston. Ordered my MACOM, my V pillow, a few books… is there anything you wished you had or couldn’t have lived without? Thank youuuu xoxo

I had my op yesterday i had my v pillow in hopsital and could not uave lived without my back rest when i got home. It was £23 from argos and a god send. Ive also had a small table next to my bed as cant move my bed side cabinet forward. Ive got water bottle next to my bed and a bucket for nausea. I needed very little in hospital just something easy to put on and slippers.

zip up tracksuits – luzeade still drinks (for energy on recovery)
I had a bed wedge (ebay or amazon) fab I put under the mattress and tilted bed to required angle I then used v pillow and have been very comfy for first week.
stock up on paracetal and ibutheophen as you only get 5 days worth from hosptial
home delivery of ready made foods
pineapple and arnica for bruising and healing
toilet wipes
wet wipes
sports bra (ms high impact good) for a change wen macom being washed and will be good for use afterwards so not a waste of money
neck pillow for journey home and pillow to cushion seat belt
cup with bendy draw so you can drink easily (this was a god send in the first two days )
good luck bet you cant wait.. its only the first 3 days its a bit difficiult then its fine
