Bring your phone charger, maybe a magazine or book and or headphones if you want to listen to music after surgery. (I listed to music up until i got to the operating room. Tho my operating room had loud music playing when i got in. They were partying

Both my surgeries I brought a bunch of stuff I thought I'd need, including my tablet, ereader, even my cpap machine. Didn't use a damn thing, not even the cpap. I was too busy trying to sleep in between having to get up and walk every two hours. I did a quick video chat on my phone with my kids after the more recent surgery, they weren't allowed into the hospital due to covid rules, but that was it, everything else stayed in my bag untouched.
