If You Could Take One Thing To The Hospital What Would It Be?



Recommended Posts

So this was a hard one for me, as I'm addicted to both my ipod AND my kindle fire. The ipod has all my music, but the kindle has books AND games. Then I realized I could put my music ON my kindle fire and have the best of both worlds! So my answer is I will definitely be bringing my kindle. What about ya'll?

(as a side note, I also want to bring my fuzzy frog socks. They always make me laugh and feel better!)

My hubby :)

Smiles....I was so out of it with pain meds, I just slept, and when not sleeping was up trying to walk. So I would say slip on shoes.

Take care!

slippers with backs and the grippers on the bottom. My second thing would be a comfy robe to throw over your shoulders for your walks.

Aside from the obvious like "myself" or "DH" it would be my Nook. books, apps, music, email, videos, etc. all in one. In theory I only have to stay 1 night, but I know it will be a long night.

I'm taking lots of comfort things, robe and slippers as joiebean mentioned, but those won't help me pass the time. I'll take being cold over being bored.

DH is great, but I know that he will not be comfortable if I'm in pain. He will be stressed and awkward, and will probably want to sit & watch TV, and try to help me too much. :)

I know this is 2 things but I would say chapstick and a robe to wear when you're walking around. I took my phone and netbook too but didn't even need them. I was only in the hospital for one day and I slept a lot from the pain meds.

CHAPSTICK. and your iphone for music. except you'll probably be sleeping from pain meds, but still... and slippers with grippy soles. and if there is any sort of spray mouth moister thingy......that was the worst part for me was the dry cotton mouth from anesthesia. couldn't even talk my throat was so dry and the sips of H20 wasn't cutting it. For the first 48 hrs after I was so hoarse & dry mouthed. So maybe even just a new, cheap spritzer bottle (like you'd use for hair) that you could put Water in to spritz your mouth. that would've helped a lot. Good luck!!!

The only thing I brought was my iPhone (charger), my own pillow :rolleyes: , and my fuzzy blanket. I loved it! I left with a bag of clothes, flowers, and gifts! ^_^

I agree with SandyD... Hubby, he took good care of me, and called the nurses when needed.... I could have cared less about the ipad, laptop, cellphone...... family is first!!!!!! and a wet washcloth for the face ♥ best of luck to you! keep us posted.....♥

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
