Suggestions for "must have items" in my hospital bag?

Going in on the 12th at 6AM and getting things together for my bag. I know that my pre-determined stay is only supposed to be for one night, but I know as well as anybody that things like this can change instantly. Soooo...Besides ChapStick and a phone charger, what are some of the "must have items" OR "I wish I had packed _________" items for your hospital stay?

    Headphones. I could not sleep the night after surgery, and I listened to music and sort of dozed. It drowned out the hospital sounds and was calming.

I took clothes to go home in but otherwise, I only really used my charger, phone, and laptop. I was in for 2 nights. The first day/night was all about sleeping and just trying to wrap my head around my new life. The next day, I was on my laptop a bit to cure the boredom between walks.
