You Need This Pack List!
This pack list will help you think through options you may want avalible to you in the first two weeks after surgery. This does not include everything I packed but was the overveiw I used to figure out what I needed to pack.
I choose to pack in multiple bags. I packed a backpack, my support person to carrry the day of surgery. A hospital suitcase which now I would pack a wagon. And a hotel suitcase.
I am a huge fan of all of their products. They have lolipops and drops easily avalible through amazon Purchase on Amazon
If you are sensitive to personal care products I highly recommend bringing your own to a hospital stay. For me showering takes most of my energy and help from others while in the hospital. Bringing body wipes helps keep my feeling clean. These large wipes have been my favorite! Amazon has the best price!
The yellow hospital socks we have all worn have there time and place but these are a much better option! If you are looking to gift for someone you love who has lots of hospital stays or lives in a house with slippy floors. THESE ARE IT! Having socks that stay on and do not slide down, are warm, and have slip resistant grips create a well thought out cozy gift. Here is my favorite brand.
Traveling with a firestick was a nice upgrade for not only me as the patent but for my caregivers staying with me. Use it for your shows at home then pop it out of the back of the TV and take it with you. It can plug into the back of a hotel or hospital TV and instantly have all your subscriptions and shows with no need tp remember passwords. View Product details on amazon.
NOTE: if your hospital has a newer system they may have locked the TVs and it may not work :(
Good Nest or any Google hub work with Google Home to make an assesible house. My husband and I love how the smart home helps us feel more at ease. We have paired it with smart light bulbs and switches. This means I can turn lighs on and off, change the color of lights, or broudcast a message throughout the house. If I need help I can chage the color of the lights so even with noise canceling headphones on he knows I can easily get his attention.
Buy it with Amazon and rreturn it if it doesnt work for you.
And here is a mount in the picture. Buy next day delivery with Amazon Prime.
These smart plugs intergrate wonderful with the Google Home system. We use them for christmas lights for those headache days whren you need low light. Any lamp can be turned voice activated. They also have a switch so you do not have to use your voice.
When you and you significant othger or friend are trying to watch TV in the hospital but the sound coming out of the remote if crackling and quiete you need a splitter. This alows you both to listen and dramatically improves the listening quality!
By far my favorite for hospital remotes!
Neither of you use corded earbuds? Try this bluetooth otion that lets you conect both bluetooth headphones. Now you can be in the bed and them in the chair and you can still have clear audio.
When you or a loved one is in the hospital ICU bordom is a good thing. It is a thing to celebrate but how do you take time to heal or process on those moments when you can hear the pateint nextstore moniters going off ands the husle in the halway over a new admit? Noise canceling headphones! This is one of the best caregiver items. And even for the pateint. I was post of from nerosurgery and was super noice sensitive. These were a blessing to get through the first 48hours in neuro ICU.
the older modle is great too!
If you use powdered formula or need to thin out a blended formula using a pitcher with the spiral mixer is faster with a better result.
The more lableing and knowing the rules the smoother the travel expirance will be.

So helpful to reduce strain on wrists and provide more torque.
This jar opener works great for mason jar lids as well as pickle jars!
