My surgery is Monday so I went today and had all of my pre-surgery test done..They even put my hospital braclet on me and I have to wear it to work tomorrow.They said if it comes off I'll have to have my tests done again I'll probably get a lot of stares but I don't care.....I have my recliner ready and a hand held shower and straws.What else do I need? Will I be able to climb strairs when I get home? If not how long will it be? Wish me luck please..

Climbing stairs is no problem, I live in an upstairs apartment and had to walk up 3 levels, you won't be able to see you feet if you have a neck brace on so hold on to the rails or wall so you don't trip.....
Best Wishes to you on surgery day. :)
