What to bring to the hospital?

Any suggestions on things to bring? Too out of it to read? I will be in for about 3 days? Anything you wish you would have had?

Really truly not much!!! My own pillow (heaven at the hospital and nice to hug on the drive home), Chapstick (woulda died without it!!!) phone and charger (I also I took my iPad), clean panties, tooth brush/paste, hair brush/clip/band. I worse sweat pants and a baggy thirst to the hospital and wore the same thing home.

Until all the tubes and IV were gone I wore a hospital gown, when I got up and out i put another gown on over it to cover my posterior. Didn't want blood or stuff on my night gowns! I did have 1 pair of soft Jammie's I bummed around in the last night once all my extra parts were disconnected, would been fine without em! I don't like slippers so I wore the socks with grippers on the bottom (brought a pair but had to stay longer than elected so used the hospitals) took a book, never opened it.

i am being a sneaky mommy and taking my computer so I can keep my kids off it while I am gone and so I can try to keep up my weightloss blog

I'm going in for surgery on Monday (yay!). I'm wearing a baggy outfit that I'll come back home in, and I'm packing some basics. Spare undies, slipper, basic toiletries (shampoo, face wash, toothbrush/paste, deodorant, comb, makeup), and my Kindle in case I want to read. Oh, and my cell phone and charger. Anything else I can probably get there or have my husband bring to me. I should be in for 2-3 nights. Best wishes on your surgery!

Chapstick!!! Don't forget your Chapstick. I would have been miserable without it.
