Your own pillow and blanket. The comfort these things provide is worth the room they take up.
Bring your own shampoo and conditioner and bath soap and lotion.
Bring a generous supply of non perishable food and your own drink container.
Limit your time at the hospital gift shop or leave your debit card in your purse!
Bring ear plugs and sleeping pills and an egg crate mattress for the pull out chair.
Bring your own medicine, music, projects, books, movies, scissors, tape, pens and paper and any other creature comforts you might want.
Prepare a strong support system at home. Request lots of messages and calls.
Finally always take a deep breath and count to 5 before answering any question the hospital staff ask you.
