Wear their what you can wear home. I made the mistake of bringing PJ's I never go around to putting them on. At least I don't rememeber putting them on.
Chapstick is a must, must must. I took me weeks to get my lips back in order after my stay. I forgot my chapstick. Now whenever some one is in the hospital I stop and pick them up a chapstick. that's how bad it was.
CC and ID that is about it.
Food to stock for home will be your next question I am sure.
Don't buy a lot of anything. like don't buy a case of chicken broth unless you are like me and actually will use it. Buy small sample packets of stuff expecially protein drink things. What you like now you might now like or tolerate after surgery.
One of the best things I bought was the little kiddy size juicy juicy no sugar added juices. They were just the right size. They are 1/2 the size of regular juice boxes.
#2 best thing. If you doctor allows you to have chicken broth. My mom made me some homemade chicken soup from scratch. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. So maybe make some up and freeze it in SMALL PORTION (like 1/4 cup)
Any more question please feel free to ask.
Congratulations!!!!!!
