Boarding the Plane in the Morning, What should be in my bag?

Livingthe Dream · 10-31-2007, 10:03 PM

Hey Guys,

I am getting ready for my surgery and getting a tad bit spooked. I have to travel to Colorado by myself and get the surgery done on my own. I need to pack a bag that has everything I need to get by 3 or 4 days on my own in a hotel room. I have heard about GasX and other recommendations but if you had to do it all over again what do you bring in your bag to survive till you can get home to family? What medications like cough drops and what about food since I wont have a chance to get out. I plan to totally stock my hotel room and the bunker down.

Other than stuff to read :)
Bring an extra water bottle - or nagalene bottle (I found this helpful)

Heating Pad was a must for me - gas pain.

Straws too I found helpful.

thermometer to check to make sure you don't have a fever

Definitely chapstick. My lips were so dry after the surgery. Luckily a friend had already told me to bring it so i was prepared. Good Luck!
