I am reading all these posting and I'm scared to death! My surgery is scheduled for Wed. 5/16/07. I am traveling from MD to Philadelphia Hospital of University of PA.

Now I'm thinking about bagging it! I was told to get 2 cervical collars, one for everyday the other for showers. Well, I can't find 1!!!! I'm stressed over that.

Anyone have any advice? When I get home what should I expect or what should I do? I think I might have to sleep in a recliner? I keep hearing everyone has a horrible sore throat, should I purchase soft food ie jello, water ice???
