What To Pack?

What is recommend to pack to the hospital?

[dstollery 290]

Comfy clothes

Toiletries like tooth brush etc

Your own bath soap and Shampoo

Chap stick

A book

Contact lens case, saline and or eyeglass case

Remember to pack light, you may need the book but likely you will spend your time recovering so not much time or feeling to read.

Your experience will be unique for you. Your body, pouch and surgery is your own and won't be identical to anyone else's. Don't forget sunglasses, as weird as that sounds I was most

thankful for my sunglasses. Of course I had a 2.5 hour travel time home.

Last but not least, don't forget your ID you will need OT to pick up your loretab or whatever pain med they send you home with

Omg. Such a good question. I only changed clothes when I went home. I don't think I used anything I brought, the hospital suppled toothbrush, paste, soap, gown. You will need Chapstick!! I never got a chance to read - kindle did not get used.

They had Colgate or crest at the hospital so I just used that

It all depends on how u feel as well. I was there 4 days and wore my own clothes for 2. I enjoyed Havin my own stuff but everyone is different.
