As my surgery gets closer, my anxiety is definitely starting to kick in. š
Iāll be leaving for Chicago soon, where Iāll be in the hospital and then recovering in a Condo after surgery and a VRBO before surgery. The condo could be 1ā2 months long and itās EXPENSIVE. My brain is completely overwhelmed, and with my ADHD, Iām so scared Iām going to forget something important.
If youāve ever had a major surgery or cared for someone who has, Iād love your advice.
š«¶š»What are some things you were SO glad you packed?
š«¶š»What do you wish you had brought?
š«¶š»What made recovery easier or more comfortable?
š«¶š»What are some āI never would have thought of thatā items for the hospital or a long recovery stay?
No suggestion is too small. Iām making the biggest packing checklist of my life, and every idea helps.
And if youāre in a position to help financially, I would be endlessly grateful. Between medical expenses, travel, housing in Chicago, recovery supplies, and being away from home for up to two months, the costs have become overwhelming.
If youād like to help lighten the load, you can donate through my GoFundMe, Venmo, or PayPal (Links for GoFundMe is in my bio or you must directly DM for Venmo or PayPal). Even if donating isnāt possible, sharing this post, commenting with ideas, or simply sending some encouragement means more to me than you know.
Thank you for being here with me through this journey. I honestly couldnāt do this without all of you. š¤š«¶š»
