looking for suggestions to take to the hospital.

being sleeved June 8th

surgery time moved up from 2pm to 11am!!!!!!!

Pack lightly.

Chapstick, Robe, Front closure sports bra no underwire(this is a necessity for me, I refuse to walk around the halls without a bra with a bunch of strangers staring at me), non-skid slippers.

I took my own shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, and body wash because hospital stuff sucks. I also took Oil of Olay facial wipes. Nothing feels better than a clean, refreshed face after surgery, well a shower is amazing, but it may be a day or two until you can bathe.

I took clothes, but decided to stay in the hospital gown because bandage changes, and if there are any accidents, I didn't want to ruin/dirty up my clothes.

Bring comfy, loose, drawstring pants to wear home.

I put some audiobooks on my ipod..... I loved just looking out the window and being "read" to.

I have to second everything that Tiffy listed. I also stayed in my hospital gown because of dressing changes and they also gave shots to my lower abdomen for blood clots.

sweats, slippers, lose clothes, comfy pj's......something to read or maybe even your laptop. either way, goodluck and best wishes!!!
