The Checklist

The Checklist

I am 5 weeks out from surgery and it is really becoming more real.  I'm starting to think about all the things I need to do before my surgery, which starts to give me a panic attack so my list making must begin stat!

From reading other blogs I've decided to buy the following items:

Toilet Seat Riser - Yes that's TMI but it's a must I've read!

 Leg Lifter – So you have a hope and prayer of getting to the toilet seat riser.

Toilet Safety Rails – So when you get to the riser you don't fall off!

 Lysol wipes - to clean your riser

 Body wipes - to clean your stinky self

 Face wipes - see above

Rubbing alcohol - to get iodine and other crap off your leg.

                      Ice cooling system - to so you don't have silly ice bags leak on you.

It’s amazing how much in common I have with the elderly.  I’m thinking about ordering all these products online, b/c I can’t imagine they will have a big enough brown paper bag to fit all the items in b/c I don’t want others to see what I’m buying.  I guess I should just hold my head up and buy them all with pride, and of course lie my pants off and tell anyone with a curious eye that I’m being a good Samaritan and buying the items for my elderly neighbor.

      

I will keep everyone posted and let you know if I actually used all of these things and if anything else made the list!  For the next project I will begin a massive hunt for every dust bunny in my house!  I want this place to be clean clean clean.  I'm guessing this is what nesting feels like to new moms.  I just want everything to be in its place before a bunch of people start to invade my house, excuse me I meant start to come visit me J.  (Hint Hint = come visit me! But call first b/c I might be on my way to my seat riser!)
