Hello everyone,
I'm having my surgery on Monday 5/14 and I'm unsure what to pack for the hospital stay.
My surgeon said that I'll be in the hospital at least 1 week, however I may end up staying another month for rehab.
I'm looking for advice on what to take to the hospital with me. I've packed the normal stuff...deoderant, toothbrush/paste, and hand lotion. And I think I read in another post that I should take wet wipes for cleaning up easily.
The nurse told me to bring slippers if I wanted them and a robe - but I'm not sure how much I'll be able to move around. Will I want to remain in a hospital gown or try to wear PJs? If I'm only in there a week do I really need a robe? (I did buy a short zip up housecoat type thing that I thought might work well).
And what about underwear????
Also, what if I'm in there a month .... who does my laundry? lol.
I live 3 hours from the hospital so it's not like my family can just swing by to drop off clean clothes.
I appreciate any advice!!
Lori
