What was really in your hospital bag?

hiya

Make sure you take a plug in fan. i took just a small travel plugin fan 6 or 7 inch and it was a god send.

I didnt take a breath fresh spray but i wished i had.

I took books but couldnt be assed to read them . they had a tv which i left on 24/7
i took some headphone from home for the tv as the hospital ones are not to well fitting ( they are the normal personal stereo type fitting )

What ever you take make sure you can get at it easy before you have the op as you will be like a octipus with drips when you come out and will have problems reachng stuff.

wont be long now. btw you can take your mobile in hospitals nowdays but they prefur if you only use them for a text.

The mini fan and water spray i saw them the other day in sainsburys on the travle section, ty for that idea will go and get one, i do expect air conditioning in my room as going private but just incase its a bit cold with it on and just want a little breeze it will do nicely.

thought about my laptop roch but didn't want it to go missing! Assume they have the over the bed tv things which have internet access on them

Must remember moisuriser though, cheers for that one!

You are all sooo organised. I went private with Spire/Bupa in Manchester and I didn't notice any air con. They did have a big fan and a TV, but no internet access at all. Hope this helps.
