laceemouse 631 Posted December 11, 2016 I think the only things I brought that I used were my phone and charger and a couple of hygiene items. I wore comfy clothes there and wore the same ones home. I wore the hospital gown with another one going the other way so I could walk the halls. Didn't use a robe. The nurses put those non-slip socks on me. I did use my own face wash and toothbrush. And my hairbrush. I brought lip balm (my mouth and lips were really dry) but the hospital provided lip moisturizer for me to use and I just used that one. I brought my heating pad because when I had my gallbladder out years ago I had a lot of gas pain afterwards. I didn't have those pains this time, I had a morphine drip and it was awesome. Some people bring books and things to do but honestly I didn't feel like concentrating on anything like that. I watched tv. I slept. I peed. I walked the halls. That was it. I stayed 2 nights and was glad I did. Most people only stay one night. You really don't need much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
