Chapstick. Pajama bottoms for walking the halls. Your hairbrush and your favorite moisturizer. I don't know why, but my skin dries out in hospitals and hotels!

    A paperback book or a few magazines to help pass the time. Basic personal care items of your own, though they can normally furnish something. Glasses case if you wear glasses, Some comfortable clothes to wear home, especially loose and/or elastic waist pants. In my hospital, they had me wearing a gown and little socks with rubber nubbies on the bottom to make them nonskid, on an IV, and controlled what I ate and drank, so there was only so much to really think of.

    I took a can of Avene spray water to keep my skin hydrated in addition to the lip balm.
