A husband/boyfriend pillow and lots of fluffy pillows too.
Small thick pillows to hold against ur belly when u cough or sneeze or to have as a buffer if u have little ones that need to be held by mommy.
Your pain meds handy.
Cough drops.
Socks.
Well stocked fridge with quick prep foods.
Lots of water and ginger ale.
Straws.
Comfy pjs
A Bible for words of comfort and patience.
A clean well stocked bathroom.
Total control of the remote.
Correctol or some type of laxative or stool softener.
First aid kit.
Tylenol pm.
Lots of entertainment options for ur kids so u can sleep.

And of course, email Mrs. Mig for her very extensive and most helpful list.

Stay prayerful and be patient with ur body throughout ur recovery.
