I needed to wear a bra when I left hospital I was advised to buy non underwired versions. More comfortable especially for travelling. I stayed in these for about 6 weeks before returning to my usual underwire bras.
I also needed lip salve but didn't take any. My lips were so dry.

Does anyone know if the hospital is air conditioned? If not, a mini fan might be a good idea.

A hair dryer to keep you cool Angee...your head gone a bit soft on the pre-op diet lol

Clair, is there air conditioning? It's going to be hot out there and nausea is always worse when you're hot, not looking forward to it!

Thanks Clair I have room so I will take my hair dryer. Buck me up a bit after the op. I am able to take a suitcase as I have booked special needs on the flight because of my knee
The walk at Bristol is quite long to the plane so I thought it better to arrange that
Since the ortho doc has told me to avoid putting weight on that knee I have got quite paranoid. I am actually walking a lot better than I was on my last trip but anxious to preserve the ceramics
