    Default Help!

    I will be leaving for TJ in 2 days and need to know what I will need for the trip. Should I take vitamins and meds? Will I need anything for my hospital stay. I am so nervous right now. I'm trying to make sure my house in order so that my husband and my sister-in-law will not be running around lost without me, whole they care for my 3 girls. I've anxioulsy been counting down and now that I'm down to the last couple of days I'm terrified! Not so much of the surgery, but the flight. I've never flown before!

    hey, Godsfavor, it depends on how long you are going to be for after surgery if for a few days, then yes bring your vitamins and pills with you, also pack really comfy sweats and a T-shirt for after surgery when released, also bring your favorite pillow or small blanket, and or stuffed animal if you want one to cuddle. I wish you the best of luck with your journey and keep posting.
