Slippers and Underpants

I have a lot to do today but I thought I'd take time to write a few lines. Today is All-Shakes Day. That is All-Plain-Shakes, no fruit, no yoghurt, no peanut butter added. I am not hungry. The last thing I ate before midnight was some miniature powdered donuts I found in the cupboard above the stove.

There are dishes in the sink, these must be done. I have put off doing laundry because there isn't enough to do a decent load. The large machines was the best and I'd be wasting my money...perhaps my daughter will throw a few things of mine with her stuff when she goes.

I have to clean out my C-pap machine. I am very lazy about this and it needs a good cleaning anyway. the hose needs to dry as much as possible and then I will pack it all up in it's carrier along with my asthma medicine to go to the hospital.

I read somewhere where you need to take some lip balm because your lips will be very dry after the op. and you will have to keep applying it so in my carrier goes some of that. The hospital doesn't want you to bring anything but having to bring a machine in a carrier means perhaps I can sneak in my comfortable slippers for walking????

I have this sneaking suspicion that they have your relative take away your clothes and shoes because they don't want you sneaking out of hospital before paying the bill, hehehe

Oh yeah with my slippers I will sneak in some underpants. They will not make me lay in bed without my underpants. Leave me a little dignity after all!

There are some who will say, Linda you won't care about anything once you wake up in Recovery. You won't even want to MOVE, much less worry about slippers and underpants

  1. definitely the slippers. they do give you those slipper socks, but take the slippers anyway. they'll give you your asthma meds, they won't allow you to take your own medication because they monitor and administer it closely. Lip balm is a good idea and your favorite hand cream, the hospital air is so dry. the freebie lotion they give you is ehh. Underwear, by the second day you can wear them, is my guess. they'll make sure to protect your dignity!
