Hox know that we will be with you in spirit and that we are here to answer any questions you have before or after surgery.
Just remember that as soon as you can after surgery walk. Walk as much as possible. You will feel horrible walk anyway. The more you walk the faster you get out of there.
Hospital food sucks, but do not worry you do not have to eat it.
The minute they let you eat again they let you out.
I am sure the others will chime in.
