Hey Julie,

Some thing I always try to take with me that could be helpful are:

• My Meds
• Icy hot/Patch
• Extra clothes/underwear
• Heat pack, usually for back
• headphones to listen to music sometimes helps too

Hope this helps

For my hospital stay bag I usually try to pack a notebook, my laptop to watch netflix to try and distract myself, my pain journal so they know everything and I can answer any question they have, Some comfortable clothes, and a comfort item so I don't get lonely and homesick too soon.

Hope it helps, for me it does. Specially the comfort item I hate hospitals I always feel like a trapped animal.

Always:

-cell phone, charger and headphones 

-chapstick 

- wear comfy clothes or a hoodie (for comfort)

Sometimes I bring a blanket. My mom will go and bring under garments for me if I get admitted. I don’t like to take much

I know this is an old thread, but I'll still add to it in case anyone else is looking for suggestions. Here is a list of what I bring with me:

- A list of all my current medications

- My rosary and Bible

- Journal and Pens

- Cell phone with charger

- iPod with charger and headphones

- NintindoDS with games and charger

- Candy and mints (I'm always hungry)

- Comfortable 'going home' clothes

- Knitting, tatting or any small craft project (I know I'm getting better based on how much I can get done)
