I packed a bunch of stuff a tablet my charger a go home dress 2 books pillow playing cards. I used absolutly nothing except my dress to go home not even my socks or underwear. But better to be over prepared then under. I was drugged up most of my experience and sleep until my release day

The Losers Bench

I packed my phone, phone charger, and extra clothes (for when I got discharged). I honestly didn't really need anything else. I was out of it most of the time because I was on Dilaudid and Hydrocodone. You'll most likely be too sleepy to do much.

That's funny! I packed TwO sets of pjs because I HATE the smell of hospital scrubs! I packed the chapstick and someone told me to buy breathe strips or spray because you get stale taste in ur mouth from not eating

I'm Wednesday..... good luck!
