What did you bring (or wish you had) to the hospital?

[Bodhi Tree 54]

I was wondering if anyone had suggestions as to what one should bring to the hospital - other than the obvious, like pjs slippers, toothbrush & toothpaste? I'm just betting I'm going to get there and wish I'd thought to bring things that I didn't forsee.

Hello

Wishing you all the best 👍🏻🙏😀. I would bring slippers, socks, book, phone charger, things to keep you busy. You can bring your own lotion, body mist, deodorant, brush, chapstick. These are few things i bought with me. Glasses or contact lenses. Wishing you the best.

I spent entire time in hospital gown and hospital provided socks. Didn't have time to read or such. Bring saline nose spray (rooms are so dry) and I got several nose bleeds. I also got Migraines when narcotics wore off and they would only give me one dose of my Migraine medicine (injection) even thou it was prescribed as "as often as needed". Moisturizer too for skins/face. Time will fly by. Good luck!

Definitely remember to take your laptop or a book .. or some sort of entertainment (to help keep your mind off the pain after surgery) also earphones when people call you it will be easier to talk for you.. don't forget your warm socks![emoji8] good luck!!

I went to the hospital in sweatpants and t-shirt, brought my cellphone (didn't use it), Biotene, slippers bathrobe. They gave me everything else (toothbrush, toothpaste, footies, gasx, etc) spent the majority of my time after surgery either walking the halls (really helped to get the gas out and eliminate pain) or sleeping. Discharged the next day.

Chapstick or Vaseline in a small tube for your very very dry lips. I also had hand sanitizer for my bedside.

I brought all the suggested items however by the time I slept from the pain meds and did my Laps around the halls it was time to go home 3 days later

I wish I had brought less! But a must have for me was my iPad. I had Netflix running constantly because the noise was a good distraction. I also brought some facial wipes and baby wipes for a quick cleanup. I wasn't up to taking a shower....

Bring your own gas-x!!!

[JustaGirl45 6]

I brought way too much--all i needed was a toothbrush-paste-chapstick-hand cream-my pillow-bi pap -charger and phone.. I wished I had brought bottled Water for the ride home--ive read ppl have brought books and bibles --the patient in the bed next to me had her 3 dogs brought to her hospital bed .. All you'll want to do is get home to your own bed and sleep.< br>
