Checking into Hospital this afternoon, the time has arrived! Planning on dropping the kids off to school, having a nice lunch out with my wife, then head over to the Hospital for check-in. My 6-year old daughter wrote an adorable 'bed time story' for me to take to the Hospital.... Read more.

Do it. I used visualization to picture my feet and ankle movements to prepare for getting out of bed the first time and regaining my strength. In hindsight, I would have learned how to sit up without using my arms and swinging my legs over the side of the bed... Read more.
Cleveland Clinic sent me a sheet where to find links to their guided imagery: pre-surgery, relaxation, post-surgery and soothing music. I'm finding it helps a lot.
I did end up looking at the Cleveland Clinic guided imagery website but it seemed to be password protected. I have found a few tracks online, but can't seem to find anything relevant on iTunes, local library, etc. Will keep on searching....
Email me at fabphyllis@gmail.com and I'll see if I can send you something.
