I picked up all the suggested items from the store today, so I'll have them ready, and won't have to worry about pre-surgical preparation while I'm scrambling to get work wrapped up.
My prescriptions were all ready... I was given a nausea patch to apply the night before surgery, and antibiotics, muscle relaxers, and pain pills.
As for OTC stuff, I got Miralax, which I will start 3 days before surgery and continue until I'm off pain meds... Antibiotic ointment, and mini-pads. The nurse suggested using these in lieu of gauze over my drain sites (adhesive side will attach to my compression garment). Then I don't have to worry about any tape irritating my skin. The drains will be on my tummy for a fee weeks.
Crackers, ginger ale, hello... And a shower chair, check! A fee simple front-closure pajama tops and robes, check.
I even organized my bathroom closet and linen closet since people other than me might need to find stuff : )
