What is the one thing you brought with you or that you wished you had brought that made you more comfortable?

Seriously waiting to see the veterans responses to this one! I am currently packing my bags!

Sweatpants

My husband

I took a small travel pillow with me to the hospital and used it to brace my stomach when I got up and down and walked. It was a lifesaver. The second most helpful item was Biotene mouthwash. It helps moisturize your dry mouth.

Nothing. I carried very little and used everything I brought. I bought extra large undies to wear home. My iPad/iPhone and charger, a toothbrush and toothpaste. I didn't need a pillow. I only live 45 mins away from the hospital and I wasn't that much pain upon discharge. I found my hospital very accommodating.

someone else in a previous post mentioned a pillow to put between their tummy and the seatbelt on the way home.

I was hospitalized a few years ago for something else....and for me what was most important was a binder clip....the plug for my ipad/iphone was on the wall and i used the binder clip to hold the part that plugs into the phone/ipad ...I clipped it on the botttom sheet of my bed...up by my pillow...so I could always reach the plug to charge the phone/ipad......after that surgery I couldnt get out of bed for 24 hours so it was helpful that I could reach the charger.

Biotein mouth spray, gas ex, don't laugh my dr provided a stuffed moose. I love it! I held it when I coughed. My podcast with meditations and music. A dress to put on right after. It was much easier than sweats.

I always overpack for everything lol so I'm gonna try and not overpack

Chapstick, my soft throw, and my

Phone(and charger) everything else wasn't necessary esp since the stay was short.

A pizza.

The blanket that my son made me which I take everywhere I go . Even on airplanes. And my iPad. We're my comfort items. Along with my husband who spent the two nights in the hospital with me in case I need anything before the nurses could get there for me. He bought them all donuts and cookies I think he was bribing them.

A pizza.

Hahahaha
