I have a list of instructions to follow before surgery:
- Take crutches with me to the surgery
- Wear losse comfortable clothing to the surgery
- Use an antibacterial scrub the evening before and the day of the surgery around the leg - this was provided by the doctor
- No food after midnight on the day prior
- No aspirin, Vitamin E, or herbal medications 10 days prior to the surgery
- No NSAIDS including Aspirin and Ibuprofin for a week prior
- Bring someone with me to the surgery
- No contact lenses - bring glasses
- No jewelry
- No nail polish or makeup

Thanks for the checklist. It is definitely helpful to people who have not yet had surgery.
The biggest item I think some people miss is the cryo cuff. Its so important for peoples recovery!
