In the hospital I have found I don't need that much, recovery is exhausting and while I thought I would have so much time on my hands while I am there, my capabilities were quite limited. Space is limited as well, every time a doctor or nurse comes in it is like a game of Tetris readjusting equipment, carts, trays and chairs.
My purse and clothes I wore there B took back to the hotel and brought them when I checked out. In a cosmetic bag I packed the following:
- Personal Hygiene / Care
- Comb
- Toothbrush and toothpaste
- Cloth headband
- Noxema face wipes in a snack size plastic bag
- Body wipes in a snack size plastic bag
- Chapstick
- Tech
- 10 foot long phone charger
- Airpods and airpod case
- Entertainment
Book- Surgery Une I brought a book but did not have the attention span to read it
- Audible subscription
- Surgery Deux I opted for Audible and it was still hard to focus, but helpful to turn on during long nights
- I listened to Atmosphere which was okay and strange to listen to in and out of sleep
- Paper and colored pencils
- I came across a 100 days of art project / challenge before surgery and I started it on M's birthday to span before, during and after surgery. With a limited attention span it was nice to doodle when I could.
- NYT Games subscription
