Hello all!

I was approved by insurance and now waiting on a date from my surgeon! Can you guys tell me what I need to bring to the hospital also good things to have at home for first weeks of recovery? I have no help. I am a mother to a 3 year old. If anyone has advice to dealing with children while healing, that will also be appreciated

Thanks ????

    As far as hospital, I recommend comfy loose pajamas, slippers, a pillow for ride home, chargers for phone or computer, whichever you take with you. I was in for 2 nights, 8/3 I had the sleeve. Chapstick, toothbrush, toothpaste, That's about all I can think of. Wear loose clothes to the hospital and then you can wear them to go home in, good luck
