clc9 644 Posted February 15, 2017 I've been making my list too. Things I have that you're missing are toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush, phone/charger, and sleep mask (light bothers me when I'm trying to fall asleep)Good luck to you! 1 kimmie kim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clc9 644 Posted February 15, 2017 You're welcome! It's funny, but I buy them for presents for people all the time. It makes such a difference in sleep quality. My surgery is next Wednesday the 22nd. Hard to believe it's nearly here! 3 TexasguyEP, Vironica and kimmie kim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurksGirl10 4 Posted February 15, 2017 Your own pillows and a blanket! I'm super picky about my pillows and room mine own, as for the blanket, I took my have super blanket, hospitals are cold in my opinion, and I was thrilled to have the extra warmth and softness of my own blanket! 1 kimmie kim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desertcanary 17 Posted February 15, 2017 Awsome sleep mask is a great idea thank you!when is your date?Sleeping in the hospital is difficult. The staff woke me hourly to give me meds, take vitals, and check on me. The hospital staff was all wonderful and professional, but I didn't get much sleep.

Tasha416 9 Posted February 15, 2017 I had my surgery on 1/30/2017, and I was so worried about what I needed to pack. The funny thing is, the only thing I used from what I brought was my own pillow and my ChapStick. My overnight bag stayed in the closet. It's weird but I found the hospital gown super comfy because it was loose. I had them bring a fan because I was super hot, which is weird because I am always cold. The only things I wanted was my super cushiony socks for walking and my ChapStick. Congratulations on your surgery and much success 1 Desertcanary reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desertcanary 17 Posted February 15, 2017 My bag stayed in my car. I didn't need much while in the hospital. I wish I had some ear buds to listen to my book or music from my phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SillyJKC 13 Posted February 16, 2017 BRING A BACK SCRATCHER!!! You can't bend or twist if you have an itch very easily. Best thing I brought was an extendable back scratcher. Good luck! 1 bigperm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
