What's in your over night bag ?

I packed quite a few items also like Deodorant, house slippers, phone charger, tooth brush and paste, change of clothes and pillow. My hospital supplied everything for me except the slippers, change of clothes and phone charger. I was very impressed that they gave care packages to help during my two day stay.

Our hospital provided toothbrush, toothpaste, face soap & hand soap. I packed a lot (good to be prepared!), & the things I actually used were charger cords, extension cord for the chargers (good thing I brought it!), headphones, iPhone and Kindle reader, and Biotine mouth spray, and lip balm. REALLY glad I picked up the Biotine at the drug store at the last minute. My mouth was so dry the first 24 hrs (no sipping allowed by my surgeon till day 2). I was surprised the spray would help that much. Oh & I also brought a dress to wear home. Was glad I did. My stomach was still so swollen from the extra air and the surgery itself that putting on the pants I wore in was very uncomfortable. Switched to the dress & much more comfortable.

I'd also recommend earplugs. I brought them, but scored a room at the end of the hall that was nice & quiet. Never needed them.

Most important for me was my phone for music, my Winnie the Pooh pillow buddy for my stomach for coughing, & the extension cord or my chargers would not have reached.
