Sparklette 381 Posted May 7, 2013 Chapstick #1! Some form of entertainment.(book/tablet/computer) Slip on shoes, or socks to walk around in. (although some hospitals provide these) Pillow (hospital beds are the devil) Phone/charger Loose clothing to go home in. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Dorian 683 Posted May 7, 2013 I took baby wipes to freshen up. You sweat a lot from the pain meds. At least I did, woke up with a soaking wet bed. Ewww. Chapstick definately. I took my own toiletries for when I showered. I took my kindle, but never used it. Just wanted to rest between walks. I had a list of stuff I was gonna take; pjs, book, robe, etc. I'm glad I didn't waste anytime with all that. Didn't need any of it. 1 kraney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1HauteDiva 26 Posted May 9, 2013 Chapstick Cell phone and charger I wore a loose dress there and wore it back home. Personal hygiene products Tablet w/ charger (some people don't use them in the hospital but I'm a techie so I HAD to have mine) If you're journaling your journey make sure you bring your journal to write down you feelings as they happen Listerine breath strips... I was in ketosis by surgery day so my breath needed lots of help A pillow. Not only for sleeping on but also as a shield against the seatbelt on the ride home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
