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
Hi Jade! I also have epilepsy. And don't have a hospital bag set up yet.. But I was wondering if I could use your list as a basic itinerary for mine ? I think having one set up is such a great idea!
