Title: List of Items to Bring to Hospital
Post by: tinkin3 on July 14, 2017, 02:00:37 pm

Hello!

I am sure there is a list of suggested items to bring to the hospital, but darned if I can find it!  Can someone either point me to the string, or give me some input? My surger is on August 1, so I'm pulling together everything now (traveling to Keck from DC)!

Thank you so much!

Dry shampoo.  I used an ice pack a lot at the hospital and even took one home with me afterwards.  It helped a lot.
