Congrats on your date!

I took the basics...but the hospital still supplied most stuff....

• Deodarant
• Huggie Baby Wipes ( if you get a catheter you will definitely need these when it comes out)
• Vaseline ( lips are going to be SO dry from no drinking)
• Couple of changes of underwear/socks ( but put the hospital socks on over my personal socks when it was time to get out of bed/walk, etc.
• Cell phone/charger
• Lotion
• Travel toothbrush
• Toothpaste/mouthwash
• Pair of pajamas and very oversized gown (didn't wear either due to the way I felt and IV's, etc. it was just easier to keep on my hospital gown. When it is time to get up and walk I asked for an extra gown to put on as a robe to cover my "opening" in the back.
• Hand towels ( to wash my face)
• Facial cleanser

I think that's about it... my basic items and didn't use some of the stuff because they gave me a few things. Hey...as much as you pay to stay in the hospital... they should give you the world. Again..congrats...best wishes and a speedy recovery !

Bring a pair of slippers so when you walk around the hallways your feet don't get sore. Hospital socks don't provide enough cushioning.

Also when you go for surgery that day they take personal property and lock it up till after the surgery you might have to go to an office with the receipt and request any valuables. They store valuables seperate from your clothes. To avoid this if possible have someone bring your property the next day when you get a room.
