Ideas for nice things to take to hospital for surgery-not childbirth

[Catassistant]

Hi all,

Just that really. I have some slightly scary neuro surgery coming up and am distracting myself by buying nice things to be take to hospital. Any ideas? I have pyjamas and dressing gown already, ideas for things like skincare and treaty things most welcome. Thanks

Another thing is hand sanitizer and tissues

Also been inspired to bring some dried fruit (dried pineapple in my case) and some Metamucil/meds to keep things regular. (DH will undoubtedly bring me fresh fruit if I send him a shopping list later.) I will buy some snacks like Harvest Snaps (am addicted) and favourite sugar-free sweets. (Also helps keep things going and I know better than to pig out on them.) Gluten-free hospital food is gruesome so I will pack some rice crackers and jam or something that doesn’t have to be 100% refrigerated. (I have coeliac disease obvs.) Also chewing gum and mouth wash to avoid dog breath when I can’t get up and around directly after surgery.
