I didn't have to take anything bar a book to pass the time...so that took 5 minutes before I left...atAshford you aren't allowed your own stuff for cross infection purposes on a day ward.

Oh and I took my toothbrush and toothpaste, so I did not get death breath....

Packed at the last minute, did it at lunch time and had to be in for 4 in the afternoon

I tossed things in my bag as I bought them but did not really 'pack' until the night before. I took way too much stuff and did not use half of it.

Now I am sad, but the 27 March I got my date for surgery which was 15 May.... that weekend hubby bought me a lovely pink bag and some new nighties and dressing gown, i packed them there and then.... and then I kept adding things to the bag....... magazine and books toiltries etc, but actually tideid the bag up the week before and zipped it up and put it in hallway ready....

I was so excited

A girl after my own heart I said to hubby the weekend I need to get my bag started for my op and he looked at me like i was barmy as all ive had are the dates for my pre op, lol. I dont wear pjs or anything as a rule and i bought new ones to have my youngest how is now 2 and they have been stored away since she was about 6 weeks old. am i being a bit to eager?

 

[tendersage]

[Brunetteandred]

'Fraid I'm the same Terri! Am already thinking about what bag etc. and I haven't even had the official nod yet!

Made a list as soon as I knew then packed just before I left the house and ticked it off my list. I took a load of magazines with me and a book, one of the nurses commented on the amount of mags but its much better to be able to flick through something then read the book as I could not concentrate with excitement.xx
