I brought a lot of things, but all in all, most none of them were used. I used my toothbrush and toothpaste and my brush. I brought a comfy pair of sweats and a big t shirt to wear home. I have obstructive sleep Apnea, so I had to bring my CPAP machine.

My sweetie brought me some ear plugs because the girl next to me along with her family and friends were loud all day long and into the night.

I brought my cross stitch because I had hopes of feeling much better than I did. I didn't touch it! My lip balm came in handy because they wouldn't let me drink for a while.

I wore the hospital gown while I was there, but I did pack underwear for three days. I finally got a pair on the day after my surgery and it was a feat for sure! I was tired of everyone seeing my butt!
