What to Pack for a Surgery?!
Question: What to Pack for a Surgery!?
I'm only fourteen and I have to have tubes in my ears and have my tonsils and adenoids taken out!. The doctor told me that I have to miss a week of school but I was wondering-
'What do I pack!?' I was thinking maybe some clothes just in case I have to stay overnight and a toothbrush and toothpaste and a brush!. But what else should I pack!?!? I'm really nervous, too, as this is my first surgery!. Please help!! I was also thinking maybe a stuffed animal to comfort me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try not to worry, everything will be okay!. I'd pack a stuffed toy, some comfy j's, a change of clothes and some warm socks!. For some reason it's always cold in hospital!.
Other than that I'd bring a book that I liked!. You probably won't feel like reading but your Mum or friends could read aloud for you!. A DVD player is tops for when you feel bad according to my son!.
Best of luck and don't be scared!. God Bless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It would depend on the procedure!. I packed a few things like books and magazines to keep me occupied after my last procedure but I was in so much pain afterward that I never picked them up!. (I'm not trying to scare you; I'm sure you'll be fine and everyone handles pain differently!) But, if you're into any special books, or like read certain magazines, you should take those!. Perhaps an MP3 player or a portable game console like a Nintendo DS!. Just be careful with those because the hospital will have you (or your parents) sign a release that they aren't responsible for the theft of those items!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take a book or ipod!. At some hospitals you can checkout a lap top, so you will be able to check email and will be able to keep in touch with friends!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
