Glad you're doing good enough to get kicked up to rehab.

Do me a favor - take notes to see what you actually need while in rehab. I mean basic stuff, like nightgowns, soap, shampoo, the essentials. I have no clue what to take and my husband, as sweet as he is, is no good at bringing stuff.

After my hysterectomy, he never remembered to bring my toothbrush to the hospital, no soap, no deodorant. It was kind of grim by the third day.

I'm still waiting to hear from the knee replacement surgeon...
