Help me pack for surgery!

I'm about to start packing for the hotel and hospital stay. Could you please help me out? ???? I already have an idea of what I need, but a little help is always appreciated.

I was in for about 5-6 days and I didn't use any of what I packed entertainment wise lol!

I took,

Slippers with grips on that are easy to get on

A really baggy nightie - you are very bloated after as they usually pump you with air (thought not sure what you're having done)

Toothbrush, flannel, shower gel, hairbrush.

Lip balm as your lips get dry

Knickers

Charger for phone

Magazine or book

Baggy trousers / pajamas

Hope it goes well :)

Do they have free WiFi at the Marriott hotel?

Do they have free WiFi at the Marriott hotel?

You know, I cannot for the life of me remember. I went through my email correspondence and it looks like I was told there was free wifi in the common/public areas and that you had to pay extra if you wanted access in your room. I mostly watched movies/tv shows I had downloaded to my laptop from my DVR and read books on my Kindle while I was there. I don't remember if I did email and IM-ing from my room or not. I do remember sitting in the lobby and messing around on my laptop, but that may have just been while I was waiting for the shuttle or just wanting to get out of my room for a while. You should just email your patient coordinator to find out for sure.
