Hi Denise,

I just know you'll do great.

I echo what the very smart ladies recomended above.
Have lost of juices and drinks that you like at home.
Also you may want to have some Bran cereal, and fruits
( no bananas ) at home as pain meds are constipating. Rule of thumb if taking pain meds increase fiber.

(I actually enjoyed my pain meds while in Hosp!) Prayers going out. Let us know when you're home and comfy
