Hi Laura, I agree with all the above. I would for sure take ear phones/pods because it was very noisy by my room. Yoga pants and loose fitting tops are good. Adult pull-ups and a good Desitin butt cream are good to take. I hope you don't need them. The hospital depends fell off. Hubby and had had to laugh at something. Hoping and praying you get a complete forever response πŸ™ ❀️ πŸ’™ πŸ’› πŸ’“

I agree with what is said in the article. I would suggest bringing electronics such as IPad, kindle, music player to help pass the time. Also helps if you can’t get back to sleep because they will come in at night for labs and vitals.
Prayers heading your way for a speedy recovery.

I wish I had brought my own pillows.

Hospital staff wrapped my port with press and seal when I took a shower. Can't add much to what has been said but would highly recommend the depends or at least the pads. If you have someone in your family or a friend with medical knowledge they would be a great caregiver or advocate. Pray all goes well with your SCT.
