Well Jetthugger you certainly have got your social life sorted for the next week. Good idea, make the most of your last week of freedom for a little while.
I found I went through that last week before surgery thinking 'this is the last time I will do this for a while'
Thanks for the tip Catanne,
I have found the pants thing easy, I could get them on and off myself from two days after surgery when I was able to wear them again.
I did however get stuck in a pair after surgery.
I had worn my favourite matching undies to hospital as a morale boost. When I was getting my hospital gown on I asked if I could keep my knickers on and was told yes. I was very pleased and in theatre when I was awake and my gown was pushed up and my leg was pulled up and around all over the place I was really pleased I had them on.
The day after surgery when I was having a wash and wanted to change my gown and my pants I discovered I could not get them off as I had a local anaesthetic infusion pump in my leg.
With hindsight they could have gone down and off my foot and then been taken up over the tubing and over the pump but it would have been a bit of a performance and involved much waving about of the pants. Instead they were cut off. I didn't think about stitching them up, they were binned.
Must see if I can get a replacement pair . Next time I will wear an old pair.
Like the idea of velcro or ribbons.
How are you doing Livinginfl, must catch up on your thread.
Kimejen and forevergimpy your surgeries will come round soon. The waiting and wondering is the worst part. If you read everything you can on this forum you will have a realistic idea of what to expect and then you will find it easier to manage your own expectations and you will do well.
Keep smiling through,
I have no plans for the weekend, no visitors planned but who knows. If the weather was fine it would be good to get out for a short trip but weather not looking promising. I will be content whatever happens.
Have a happy day everyone.
Love and hugs, Toothfairy x
Let's hope that we get the soggy weather over & some sunshine through before you get to venture out 
I am really keeping my fingers crossed that my surgery will be on time and I will have the same type of recovery as you. I know every surgery & recovery is different, but I have taken yours & Fernies experiences to heart & know the mantra is the right way to go. 
Amazing site, so glad I found it as I now have you guys (and, of course, you have me!) to fall back on when times are hard & celebrate the small (and large) highs when improving ( and maybe we're the only ones who could possibly understand) 
(hopefully!) I agree with what you say, I want it over & done with now!!
