My surgery is at 1pm.... I am planning on 2 nights/3 day stay. Will I have any use for my laptop? I don't want to be bored in hospital.... do you think I will be sleeping much of the time?

I used my iPad or here and Facebook.....

Have someone bring it to you the second day. The first day is a little blurry.

I have a phone and kindle. Never used the laptop.

I only took my cell phone & that was all. I was sleeping or walking most of the time so I didn't have that moment where I was bored lmbo

I took my cell phone and iPad. I never got on my iPad at all. It was the same for me, I was either walking or sleeping.

My laptop is too much of a beast(gaming laptop) to bring to the hospital for 1 or 2 days. So i will be bringing my tablet. good enough for what little bit i will hopefully be in bed.

The first day I slept, the 2nd day I walked and slept. Really didnt have time to get on my Ipad or Kindle. Used phone to check facebook status.

I just had my cell phone, I was on a morphine pump so I hit that button all the time. By the second day all my waking moments were me walking around, then I would go back to bed hit the morphine and sleep. I personally did not have any use for the lap top, when I was not sleeping or walking I was just watching TV.

very helpful! THANK YOU.

I don't think you'll need it. Take that time to rest or sleep. I wasn't up for that at all.

I'll probably have my tablet and phone but plan to sleep and rest as much as possible. I have been wondering if I will get bored but I have a feeling there will be no time for that.

I got bored, hence the iPad......I don't really watch TV, you can only walk so much, sipping Water doesn't take much thought....so my 2 BFFs amused me via text and Facebook while I was trapped in the hospital.
