@threerrr3 I found it nice to have a lightweight fleece jacket to wear in bed. I always find hospital rooms cold. I used that instead of a bathrobe also when walking around the halls.
I prefer real slippers to the non-slip socks the hospitals all give to patients, but don't bring expensive ones. I had some taken off my feet and apparently stolen when I was having an endoscopy! They were brand new Uggs too, so fairly expensive.
They do give you soaps and shampoos but generally not conditioner if you use that in your hair. Also, if you do use a body cream and want a better one than they have, bring your own. Some hospitals insist on non-scented. I did not bother with any makeup of course but I do like a facial moisturizer.
The only other thing I can think of right now is some form of lip balm. My lips were incredibly dry in the hospital. They did give me one when I mentioned it and what they gave me was fine, but I don't know if that's something all hospitals have on hand.
It's nice to have some hand wipes too.

@threerrr3 the other item is a cell phone charger. With a long cord usually the outlets are a ways from the bed. Unless your lucky and get a bed with an outlet on the bed. Also sometimes the iv pole has an outlet. If you don't have a long cord you can get a usb extension cord also.

Good advice thank you I will put that on my list ! ❤️
