Hey Ortho-blogees!In preparation for surgery, I've decided to compose a list of post-surgery items I need or want and things I already have that I will use after surgery. This is inspired by my mom who wants me to make a list, and who calls Zip N Squeeze "Sippy Saks". Hehee.
Things I already have that will come in handy:
- "Hospital Tray"- I love this. Although it's a laptop cart, it's practically a hospital tray. It's perfect for drawing, (laptops of course), and reading in bed. I know this is going to be a huge asset for after-sugery recovery.
- Nintendo DS- This will definitely help the boredom factor. The only thing that saddens me, is that is will be very difficult to practice my French after surgery.
- Books, Puzzles, Computer- I've purchased a huge order of comic books off of Amazon.com, they've been slowly collecting on my shelves, and I've been trying to abstain until surgery is over... trying. :P I'm also a huge puzzle geek, and have got lots of puzzles (and puzzle games for the DS) to keep me entertained. Also, here's a warning: I'll probably be blogging a LOT after surgery.
- "Sippy Saks"- I know Zip N Squeeze bags are huge on the jaw-surgery population. I do have a question though- I've heard a lot of people ordered them, but then their doctor game them some. Should I wait or just order them?
- Jaw Wraps & Spa Face Masks- These look so comfy and I'm not even in pain yet! On Michelle's Blog, she mentioned how her hospital uses the AqueCool device. Oh god. I wish my hospital uses something like that on me. I'm so jealous.
- Sonic Gift-Card- I have a feeling I'll be needing a lot of slushes. Although, there's this new "mom & pop" smoothie place that opened up near me, and I've never had jamba juice before, so this may be a good opportunity for me to experiment with slushies.
I'll probably add to this list as I get closer to surgery..
So, fellow blog-ees: What's on YOUR Wish-List?
~If you haven't had surgery yet, make a list on your blog about items that are on your wish-list.
~If you've had surgery already, discuss which items you couldn't have lived without, things that didn't make a huge difference, or things you wish you could have had then.

I would like Lipo suction while I'm under. That would be on my wish list ;.)
Hahaha, yeah. I keep thinking about telling my surgeons "Soooo.. while you're in there, can you take care of a couple things for me? I won't miss any neck fat." XD
Excellent HW assignment!! I will have my list ready for tomorrow - time's running out for me and so far I have nothing to show for it. Talk about procrastination!!
good luck on your surgery. I found your blog through Jaw-Surgery!
Hey I think Im being made fun of! I like the name sippy sak, it's catchy!
Spoke with KAM's Doctor's office today. They suggest I attend the pre-op visit, so I will see KAM in about 8 days! see ya then!
Hi Kam! Thanks for posting nice comments on my blog. That was so sweet of you!
You know, I haven't really been using those zip 'n squeeze bags. Just as long as the food is thinned, I can easily drink it with a straw. Not bad!

Calling them sippy saks made me laugh. I think the name might stick 'round these parts :)
GOOD LUCK!!
