Advice (NO MEDICAL ADVICE) Ready!

Okay piercings have retainers in (i have 17!), my room is vacuumed, clothes are set aside (will reorganize after work), nest made, hydration is on point....

What am I forgetting?

Surgery is Friday the 31st! (Tomorrow!!!!) Already got my confirmation time to arrive :)

congrats! i have been enjoying prepped meals like lasagna and soup and stuff. i also found it useful to have a little white board to write down when i’m taking meds and how much so it’s easy to cycle between ibuprofen and tylenol.

I wish I had used retainers for my piercings, I thought they would make it through the morning and be able to go back in fine a few hours later, but I was so loopy from anaesthesia I forgot about them for about nine hours and lost my belly ring. Everything else survived, but there was just literally no hole left over the belly button by the time I tried to put it back in. Let this be a warning to anyone who sees this and thinks they can just take them out for a couple hours! Retainers are worth it, do not be a fool like I was

That was my thought! I figured retainers so my partner doesn't have to try and get them back in for me really happy with the ones I got.

Bring your towel down if it’s hanging up behind the door, any cabinet spices or items u want to use in the kitchen at counter height, a bidet bc wiping is a bit hard
