I couldn't find the post, but what all did you take with you to the hospital?

You don't really need much. I took a robe, chargers, phone, small wallet, spare undies. I went to the hospital with a dress and sandals, and used the same when I was discharged. Took a small backpack to put my clothes when not wearing and to take any documents, medicine cups and spirometer back home.

DON'T pack a lot. Wear the gown they give you so if there's spillage or anything like that it's on their stuff and you can get a clean gown anytime you want. I wore 1 with the opening to the back and 1 with the opening to the front at the same time. That way when I went walking no one was getting a free show and I didn't have to worry about keeping it closed.

Phone charger with extra long cord, maybe something to read. They have stuff for you to wash your body and hair with that will get you by the 1 or 2 times you shower there. Wear home what you wear to the hospital just take clean panties(and have some spare) for when the cath comes out and slippers because they will want you walking around. Take everything you can extra home with you. You really don't need a lot in the hospital
