What to pack??

Thanks so much for everyone's advice on what to take to the hospital. There are things on your lists that I hadn't even thought about, like my favorite pillow and chapstick. P.J. party time friends! Never thought a stay in the hospital would be like a pajama party, eh? Wish I could take my laptop with me so I could e-mail y'all! Fun, fun, fun.... (Yea! Right. Until I wake up sore and wondering what the heck I've done to myself. Thank goodness there will be pain meds available and that the aches won't last too long.) Peggy B.

I thought about taking the laptop too, but I figured that would be a bit much. But I'll have my cell phone and I know I can send emails from it. so that will have to do for me till I get home. Hard being a net junkie like me! Vi

This is what I took with me the first time: Chapstick (heard this was a MUST) Hairbrush Cell phone and charger Pillow with a colorful pillow case so they know it's MINE! Slippers Bathrobe Change of underwear (but I didn't wear them home anyway) Powder, Shampoo, Conditioner, Hair Gel, Toothpaste, Toothbrush, Make-up (someone said you will want to look good because it will make you feel better, but I could have done without...) Insurance Card, $20 Cash I made sure to wear comfy clothes (very loose pants) that I could wear home. Didn't have a problem with the loose pants, but the bra sits a bit uncomfortable on the little incision below the breast bone so I ended up taking it off. I just bought this citrus mouth spray by listerine at Walmart that I'm going to throw in my overnight bag for that nasty taste I had in my mouth after anesthesia. This time I want to take a GOOD romantic book, in case I get the urge to read... anyone have any recommendations on a good book?? Vi

TRY THOSE LITTLE MOUTH WASH FILM SHEETS THAT MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, MS VI ... GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Forgot one thing... since I couldn't wear my contacts, I packed them (and the solution) in my bag and wore my eyeglasses and took my eyeglass case too!

THanks to all *****plied to this post!! It's soooooooooo good that we can support and be there for each other during this time. I hope we can continue communication after this milestone is over in our lives. May God bless and keep you during your journey! Take care! Keke
