What to take to the hospital?

Hello, My surgery is this Thursday, 9/8/05. I wondered if any of you post-ops have some pearls-of-wisdom advice of things I should be sure and take to the hospital with me? For sure I will take my pillow. *grin* Perhaps some of you remember something you wish someone had told you to take along. Any and all help appreciated. Thanks! Marsha

The hospital bed was SO uncomfortable. So, I suggest your pillow, comfortable nightclothes, your toothbrush, and something to read. Good luck!
