I had bilateral pec minor and brachial plexus neuroplasty on December 5. I am going back for more.....
I am having bilateral scalenectomy and first rib resection February 6th and 10th. I will be in the hospital between the surgeries and 3-4 days after the second surgery. Then two days in Denver, then catch a flight home. In preparation for surgery: Work on lower abs Strapless tube top bra Button up shirt Bring no/minimal luggage. (Whatever fits in my big purse will be the max) Shower seat Dry shampoo/ adult bath wipes Bottle for water to clean self after using toilet Sprite, saltines, sherbet, tapioca pudding, ice cream, broth based soups Care for teenage daughter while gone and some once returned Fmla for work Home away from boyfriend who says things like "walk it off" Personal care provider - hired in home help because I cannot fully depend on my family. Netflix subscription and chrome cast Tons of COURAGE! What am I missing? |

Guided relaxation audios. I also like the Infinite Relaxation app on iPhone.
I don't have any experience with surgery so I don't have any experience with this, but it looks interesting: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ery%20hypnosis https://www.google.com/search?q=pre-surgery+hypnosis ear buds penetrex electric toothbrush |

Why aren't they doing it all at one time?
So they plan to do one side then 4 days later do the other?

Ha! That is my new hairstyle. Good thinking to do it before the surgery, it can last a couple of days that way. |

The lung can rupture up to 3-4. Days after the surgery. They want to make sure that does not happen before they start in on the other side. Cause it would be really bad if that happened to both sides at once.
