is there a list of suggested things to take to the hospital somewhere?? I'm hoping to have mine done next week. The doctor's office called me this afternoon, and we talked about
what had to be done before I had surgery, and the test he wanted done first, plus about
pain medicine. When I had surgery last time, the morphine made me really itchy, and I wanted to at least discuss it with him first. NOT the day of surgery you know?? He said he'd give me a dilaudid pca, after surgery. I've not taken a lot of pain meds, so i'm pretty susceptible to them. He said he'd try different things if the dilaudid didn't work. I'm not so much worried about
it working, as working to well. Half a hydrocodone knocked me out for 4 hours, so i'm not to worried about
how well dilaudid will work. I need to remind them though, I want to wear my glasses while talking to people pre-op. I'm not giving them up till the last minute. I hate talking to people I can't see!!
