What to bring to the hospital!

@@QueenOfTheTamazons Have your husband put a pillow in the car for the ride home!!! I told my SO that he needs to go to work the days I'm in the hospital (except surgery day). He can come and visit but I'd rather him be home for the dogs. We're only 15 minutes or so from the hospital so that's a plus.

Bring less than you think you should. I bought all new pajamas and stuff but I stayed in the Johnny the whole time. I'd wear one of their robes when I walked the halls. I realized I wanted to keep the hospital germs separate from my stuff. I ended up bringing and using phone, charger, toothpaste and toothbrush, hair ties and brush.

At the hospital ask for the lemon mouth swabs - those saved me from nausea a few times.

We are 3 hours from the hospital. I told him to "bring every fluffy pillow in the house and the pink blanket".

Not fluffy = dense memory foam

Pink blanket = beige fuzzy blanket, def not pink. But he thinks the sage blanket is grey. Men.

My dogs get super neurotic and clingy after we return, so i would rather he stay with them. I cant handle recovery and 250lbs of crazy dog.

Wish I would've brought my blanket from home. I wore my wedding band and engagement ring as I refuse to take them off.
