@jodeej and @judyth I lived close enough to my hospital (@ 55 miles) that I knew my husband would be back and forth so I was able to just pack the essentials, and things that it would be too difficult to explain to my husband, like facial products, etc. Of course I never ended up using them anyway! We have no pets and our children are adults out on their own so none of that was a concern. Judy, how far are you from your transplant center? That of course makes a big difference.
Jodee is right, it all falls into place. As I have mention in other postings, I never did get my journal packed and my husband could not find it. That is my one regret, that I didn't have it there in the hospital to record everything because I was sort of drugged up a lot so my memories are vague or non-existent.
