What To Take?
Heading to hospital and no idea what to take?
Personally when I went to hospital I slept pretty much the entire time. I brought my phone and charger but hardly touched them. But other people are different and you won’t know which one you are until you have your surgery. So I compiled a list of all the things people listed on what they did take and what they wished they had taken.
Take To Hospital:
- Phone charger
- Long charger cord
- Pyjamas or Oodie
- Toothbrush/paste
- Lip balm
- Current Medications
- Peppermint tea
- Ear Plugs
- Eye mask
- Electric heated blanket
- Travel pillow
- Head phones
- Hair brush/ties
- Slippers/ugg boots
- Moisturiser
- Shower gel
- Laptop/ipad
- Book/crossword
