@2gallonhabit You will be in a hospital gown the whole time you’re in the hospital. It’s much easier for everything from exams to personal care. Slippers are a good idea, but not completely needed as you will get a pair of socks with sticky soles. I used the robes they provided in case I got any muck on them. I spent the first day in bed, but then they like to get you up to move around, take a walk, sit in a chair, etc., to help with the healing and getting your strength back. The first couple of days were pretty much a fog because of the drugs for the pain. Stay on top of them and take them regularly. Bring a very comfortable outfit for the trip home. We stayed in Rochester for a month after the transplant as was recommended. I had a hard time focusing on reading, so I watched a lot of tv and slept through most of it. Give yourself time to heal. You’ll be in the best of hands!!
