Hi Josephine66,
I hope your appointment went okay today. The first appointment with your surgeon can be very confronting & your head may be spinning. Allow yourself time to get used to this, your new reality.
As for hospital wear, I opted for a loose singlet top & loose comfy pj shorts, my breast care nurse said it was perfect. I had trouble finding button up pj tops in my size anyway! Always good idea to name your clothing.
Also in your bathroom bag, add in a pair of earplugs!
The precooked food is also a good idea. I was lucky enough to have good friends who cooked & froze meals for me, I also had my daughter staying with me for a few weeks to look after me. Just take it easy.
Take care,
Cat
