Lip balm and face wipes x

Clothes to go home in, and make sure they are lower cut undies as full briefs may rub the dressing. I wore a dress to go home in as it meant not having trousers go near my cuts. A drinks cup for the way home depending on the length of the journey, and a pillow for the way home to put over your tummy to stop the seatbelt rubbing.

Hiya stop stressing! Lol

The manor will pretty much stop your medications anyway after surgery. I last took bp, diabetes meds etc 48 hours before my surgery and havnt had one pill since then.. If u do still need them hospital pharmacist will sort you out with disolveable/liquid equivalents to take home with your "goody bag" filled with fortimel and stuff.

I had my laptop with me during 4mnths of my stay, just got the nurse in control of my bay to lock the locker when not in use. As I said to u when we had coffee, I live 2 mins away from you my friend, and if u need anything whilst ur there on ward 10, all u have to do is ask! If ur taking ur phone u might need your charger, lip balm is a good one to take, squash can be purched on the ward when the league of friends trolley comes round every morning for about a quid, or in the Spar main entrance (I know I bought 6 whilst nil by mouth to sniff and had them allllL confiscated)

Vitamins etc.. They'll send you home with dalivit, adcal-d3 (bleurghhh) and fastabs (bleurghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) Soo don't worry! I wish u all the best of luck and as previously said if you need anything grabbing, just shout

i'll be taking my picture of my kids and my kindle

 

[Ines4C]

I know you guys said they say no valuables, but I can't be without my phone, as I am visually impaired and can't read normal print books. So hopefully it won't be stolen.
