What to bring with to the hospital



Recommended Posts

Yay! Good luck to you! I am so anxious for the 4th to come. Time is going too slowly for me.

I'm on September 4th! I need to remember my CPAP machine. The mouth spray is a good idea. I get dry mouth all the time. I am putting that one on my list. Wednesday can't get here quick enough. [emoji51]

I brought a robe (those gowns don't cover much), small cloth blade fan (the room didn't have good AC and I like air circulation. This can be found on Amazon), Slippers (they had the footie socks with anti slip, but I have really large feet and they barely fit), CPAP as instructed, Cell Phone Charger, Headphones (AirPods, they use the same charger as the phone).
I too wore the same clothes home that I wore to the hospital. Never used my slippers, wore the lovely brown socks they furnished. I also wore the hospital gown with pajama pants underneath. The Iv is hard to deal with if you use your gown. I only took one pair of pj s and I ended up with a leak and a five day stay in the hospital. I took my tooth brush,paste and deodorant and a hair brush. You will be resting for the most part.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
