9 days to go.... any tips and tricks?

I'm scheduled for surgery on December 16th. Any information that can be shared will be helpful. What should I expect in the hospital and then when I get home? I realize that everyone has different experiences, but the more prepared I can be the better off I'll be and therefore, my family as well. I've bought a pillow and it is being sewn in the middle for back sleeping, I am also making rice/ice bags. I'm a side sleeper so I'm planning on taking my memory foam side sleeper pillow to the hospital too. Are there any other "must haves?"

Thanks in advance for your help!
