    Here are some of the things I bought: :)<br>a
    blender and strainer (I couldn’t affort both blender and
    juicer) lol<br> I LOVE fresh fruit smoothies too!!
    mmm<br>anyway..<br>:)<br>toiletries..<br>Forget the makeup… you won’t care!!!
    lol<br>loose
    clothing , you may be a little swollen so things may fit
    you a little snuglier at first.<br>I chose to go hom
    in my nightgown and a robe, I didn’t care! lol<br>I
    took some sugar free lolipops to lick… it helped
    when I was only allowed ice chips and water. I didn’t
    suck on them, I only licked them a few times, but the
    flavor helped that medicine-burp-feeling in my mouth.
    <br>I took my flip flops.. Don’t bring anything with
    laces.. you can;t bend to time them…:)<br>I brought my
    addy book and some magazines and cross words and Adam

    brought some cards. That was hard to play though, because
    I couldn’t reach far to play, but sitting up helped
    me.<br>I didn’t buy baby foods, I just steamed my veggies,
    and blended them, bought soup and blended it, and at
    cooked fruits, blended.<br>Works the same and is
    cheaper. :)<br>Bring lotion, your hands are bound to get
    dry.<br>I also found that my own pillow was much softer.
    Just don’t have a white pillow case, so the hospital
    doesn’t snatch it accidentally. :)<br>Good
    luck!!!<br>Lisa B.

    Hey, Tam!<br>Well, figure that you will be pretty
    much on clear liquids. Buy some clear broth soups,
    sugar free Jello, Crystal light (you can dilute 1 part
    to 3 parts water, takes away the nasty taste of
    water). Things like that.<br>I gotta tell ya, I know I
    must be different than everyone else here but man was
    I OUT of it. LOL I was so stoned, I must have hit
    that morphine pump every 15 minutes till they took it
    away. I watched TV when I was awake but I was still so
    fuzzy that I even watched football.:) My best advice to
    you are slippers and a robe, they will want you to do
    some hallwalking and you don’t want your hiney hangin
    out! :)<br>Laura
