How did others handle this? I would like to be able to communicate with others when I'm back in the room but that would be hard to do if they don't permit communications devices. I'd also like to have my laptop with me to keep an eye on things at work and with trading. If I can't do that, then I'd need a phone to talk to my daughter to manage my positions. I suppose that I could give my devices to someone and then have them bring them to me after surgery as I'd be in my room most of the time.
Or is it so rough that I shouldn't be thinking about these things while in the hospital?

Is anyone going to be with you? I would leave the items with a loved one. I would NOT leave them in a room or with your clothes before surgery. Hubby always brought my things to me after getting settled in the room after recovery.
After getting settled, you will be in the room with your items.

I actually don't know. One of the downsides doing the surgery far from home. I have two people to ask who might be able to do this.
I'm working on the Short-Term Disability stuff right now. At the moment I'm stuck on whether I want The Hartford to withhold taxes from Short-Term Disability payments. I'm inclined to say no as it would mean another W-2 and I can always just make an estimated payment and it's only two weeks (I hope).

After surgery and in my room he brought it into me. Was very valuable to me to pass time watching movies, keep up on work and trading.
Hospitals say not to bring it to surgery, cause you put everything in a bag and they put it in a holding space - but sometimes things end up missing.
Gluck with everything.

Is that information included in the pre-op documentation that they just sent you? Do you have a copy of the Informed Consent form that you will have to sign, where they list the risks and benefits of the planned procedure?

I'm not sure that anyone will be with me due to logistics.
Worst case is I will drop stuff off with my sister (local) and ask her to drop it off after surgery. There would be other ways to get it but I don't want to put people out too much.
What do you trade and what's your style? I was sure that I'd run into another trader eventually here.

I trade cryptocurrencies. I'm heavy into them since 2013. They make up about 80% of my income. Other 20% comes from my business and rentals.
You've seen bitcoin gains this year? Crazy, but still low price in comparison to projections.
