I packed several months ahead of time. That way when the call comes you just grab your bag and go.
I'm glad JK mentioned lip balm because your lips may dry out. I'm glad I had mine. If you forget the nurse can give you vaseline.
The other thing is hand or body lotion. I brought my favourite scented lotion.

@gaylea1 The hospital I was in when I had a TKR is a "scent free zone". They do not want you to bring anything scented such as creams, so that is something a person should check on before packing scented lotions. I do not believe my transplant hospital had that restriction.
