Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Hi I am 7 days away fro myo. I know I saw somewhere some ideas on what to bring to the hospital. Now I can't find the posts. Any suggestions would be great. I'll be in a private room so I'm not too concerned with the roommate issue. More about what clothing was comformtable, etc. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Unfortunately, the Yahoo groups search engine is less than ideal. Here's one of the recent threads about what to take to the hospital: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/uterinefibroids/message/43390 I didn't bring much with me when I went in for my myo, partly because I was determined to be out of the hospital as soon as possible. I didn't feel like I needed to bring much with me, as I knew the hospital provided sanitary pads, loose " underwear, " a toothbrush and toothpaste, soap, and so on. They also provided little socks with rubber soles that you could wear instead of slippers. I think my minimalist approach was a reaction to when I had my daughter 7 months earlier. When I went into the hospital to be induced, I packed way too much and regretted it I was only in the hospital for two days, and I packed as if I was going to be entertaining myself there for a week. For the myo, it wasn't worth it to lug my personal stuff in for a short stay (the doctor predicted I'd be there two nights, and in the end he sent me home after one). Here's the stuff I brought: STUFF I USED: bathrobe walkman novel hair brush anacrostic puzzles going-home clothes phone numbers of friends/family to call STUFF I DIDN'T USE: slippers lip balm cross-stitch project blow dryer (I waited until I got home to take a shower) Cheryl At 07:50 PM 1/22/2004 +0000, you wrote: >Hi > >I am 7 days away fro myo.
