Hospital Stay

[Banana2363 21]

Hey everyone,

I have never been in the hospital. What do I need to take with me? I should only be there one night. But I want to be prepared.

Thanks All

My surgery was out patient..so I was only in the hospital 7 hrs. I took my ID...

They provided socks and anything else I needed...which wasn't much.

I'd bring toiletries, like deodorant, tooth brush and toothpaste. I'd also bring a comfy robe because they will want you up and walking right away, and those stupid hospital gowns have a habit of flashing your bottom, so a robe is a definite must.

Also, bring comfy clothes for your trip home. No blue jeans, maybe a house dress or loose pants like sweats.

Good luck!

You may want to have a pillow for the car ride home to hold on your belly for those bumps or coughs. Also, if you have contacts, you should wear your glasses as those will need to come out. Leave any jewelry at home. Definitely the comfy clothes though. For me, chapstick was a blessing to have too.

Not much I slept almost the entire time, and once I didn't it was time to go home. They provided toiletrles, and a second gown to use as a bathrode. Chapstick and a small booboo pillow for the ride home is right on the money but I'd say that's it. I took my kindle, what a joke. Oh, cell phone for letting people know you are fine. Good luck, and remember to let your body rest afterwards.

and my hubby. chapstick is a major have as my lips got very dry and it was so nice to put that on my lips...(i wore flip flops and a easy pullover sundress). dont take what you dont need there......

I was glad I brought my own slippers, I hated those socks the hospital gave me.
