Packing For Hospital

[Jenn31MA 149]

The hospital i was in provided everything really. The only things i brought were deodorant, few pairs of undies, hair brush, book, phone and phone charger. They provided toothpaste, toothbrush, Shampoo, lotion etc. Since i had the IV in they made me wear the gowns which was fine with me and they provided me with the socks with the rubber bottoms. Honestly don't bring much since you will be out of it mostly and they provide everything essential. Good luck!

Bare basics!!! Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, chapstick, phone, charger, and extension cord. Comfortable, loose fitting clothes or a loose dress. The bra is a toss-up. I couldn't wear mine home, so, the a cami it was. The TWINS were swinging free, lol!!!

A beverage, Water, etc., for the ride home would be good. My mouth was so dry, I couldn't take it. Had to stop on the way home and get something.

Yea, I took a sports bra to wear home. The only nausea I had was when I was first waking up from surgery and my awesome nurse had phenegran going into my IV immediately. It was not bad nausea, just a tinge. All my nurses were wonderful!

My personal life saver was pull-up wet wipes. They wouldn't let me take a shower so I lived to clean myself with those wipes after a day of not showering. UGH. Oh and I agree the chapstick will be a lifesaver especially the first day before your swallow test when you can have nothing. other than that a few bucks to turn on your tv but the hospital provides mostly everything you will need.
