What should I take to the hospital?

Any suggestions? What helped and what was not worth lugging there.

how long are you staying? Not sure about the glade plug in lol must be a personal preference. I was only in 1 night and I used my Chapstick once and the Gas X strips twice I think. My lPad and that was it.

I was looking for the same thing. I remember seeing a list of suggestions but can't find it. I know it was kind of long! Haha.

Good Afternoon,

I had surgery on Friday the 28th, I was there for 2 nights.

I would say bring a phone charger, your phone/ipod, a pair of slippers and I highly recommend bringing a robe with you (if not just ask for an extra gown to wear to cover your hind). Being that you have to walk every two hours, I preferred throwing something over my shoulders as opposed to tying and untying each time I got into bed. I wasn't allowed to use my chapstick at the hospital the first day/night because I was on oxygen and wasn't allowed to use any petroleum products, they provided me with more of a lotion for my lips. As far as being entertained the television was really enough that they provided I was on so much medication I dozed in and out frequently.

:)
