My Hospital Bag......

In my bag i will be having all the usual .... Pjs, Toiletries, Towels etc etc.
My mum, Bless her, Bought me a care package of new Pjs and Travel Size shampoos, Shower gel and a Robe for Christmas and my Husband got me a Speaker Pillow so i can listen to the radio comfortably at night in Hospital.

But the main thing i will be taking is my portable DVD player and all 5 seasons of Dexter. Michael C Hall is going to get me through the boredom of hospital

Don't forget your pillows, girls for the journey home to stop the seatbelt hurting you ... essential. I never got round to watching tv but did read a fair bit as I did not sleep much in hospital. Good luck to everyone having their op's tomorrow xxx
