Consider buying a thermometer in case you feel a little feverish during the post op phase
Get some magazines, a good book or rent some DVD’s to keep amused
Do you have ice packs or a couple of bags of frozen peas for post op cooling
A heating pad, hot water bottle or microwaveable pack can be useful for back aches and pains
Wet wipes are great for a quick freshen up
Stock up with light meals, soups etc as you probably won’t feel like cooking or eating large amounts
