I.C.U

Apologies for my absence.

I don't mean to neglect my blog but I unfortunately have just returned from hospital after a time in the Intensive Care Unit. A very scary time for all involved that will take a while to recover from.

Stay well

Something on my mind.

"Do not question a person when they don't turn up to a social event, 

there might be a reason as to why that they themselves are not ready to accept." 

Hospital Bag

Over the past four years I have learnt to always be prepared for a hospital admission be it over night or month long. I always keep a bag packed "just in case" I find myself in hospital with absolutely no notice or indeed with notice. Family and friends know where this bag is and can collect it from home for me if needs be.

Inside my bag are the everyday essentials that make a hospital stay a little more bearable.

Wash Kit:

• Towel
• Shampoo + Conditioner
• Body Wash
• Feminine Hygiene products (just in case!)
• Razor (nothing worse then being stuck in bed for days with hairy legs eh ladies?)
• Toothbrush + Toothpaste
• Face/body wet wipes (for a quick freshen up) 
• Deodorant 
• Perfume (believe it or not I always keep a little bottle with me, smelling better makes me feel better!)

Two pairs of pyjamas, extra underwear, a pair of slippers and of course a nice snuggly dressing gown. With these in tow as essentials, a hospital stay is made that little bit easier to cope with. Then just ask your visitors to supplement your stay with more exciting things like books, conversation or a device that plays your favourite DVDs! x
