Comfort Items

[GingerLeAnna 14]

What is the one thing you brought with you or that you wished you had brought that made you more comfortable?

I took a small travel pillow with me to the hospital and used it to brace my stomach when I got up and down and walked. It was a lifesaver. The second most helpful item was Biotene mouthwash. It helps moisturize your dry mouth.

Nothing. I carried very little and used everything I brought. I bought extra large undies to wear home. My iPad/iPhone and charger, a toothbrush and toothpaste. I didn't need a pillow. I only live 45 mins away from the hospital and I wasn't that much pain upon discharge. I found my hospital very accommodating.

someone else in a previous post mentioned a pillow to put between their tummy and the seatbelt on the way home.

I was hospitalized a few years ago for something else....and for me what was most important was a binder clip....the plug for my ipad/iphone was on the wall and i used the binder clip to hold the part that plugs into the phone/ipad ...I clipped it on the botttom sheet of my bed...up by my pillow...so I could always reach the plug to charge the phone/ipad......after that surgery I couldnt get out of bed for 24 hours so it was helpful that I could reach the charger.

Biotein mouth spray, gas ex, don't laugh my dr provided a stuffed moose. I love it! I held it when I coughed. My podcast with meditations and music. A dress to put on right after. It was much easier than sweats.

The blanket that my son made me which I take everywhere I go . Even on airplanes. And my iPad. We're my comfort items. Along with my husband who spent the two nights in the hospital with me in case I need anything before the nurses could get there for me. He bought them all donuts and Cookies I think he was bribing them.
