I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Don't worry - it's not a full body shave. At least, there's no valid reason for it to be. (But your chest will itch like crazy at some point in the future.)
When you check in, let them carry the ball for a while. You can pick it up again later. relax, let the "hospital show" entertain you.
Later, when you're walking around, you can just put on a second gown backwards to keep yourself decent. And they do the laundry.
I asked for fentanyl instead of morphine, and was glad I did. Better drug, less groggy, no "morphine constipation." Also, check to see if they use tape or a lip clip on the brathing tube. Ask for tape. The lip clip leaves you with a fat lip from the pinching, but the anesthesiologist doesn't feel a thing.
Be well, David. Come home soon.
Very best wishes,
