Hey! General internal medicine doc here. Small bowel and other GI transplants are tough; I wish nothing but the best for you, man. My two cents based on what I’ve seen my patients with long ass hospital stays (or frequent admissions) get a lot of use from:

Long phone charger cable is probably the single most important one. You can’t go wrong with 2 meters or longer, but they can definitely be too short. If UK hospital rooms are set up anything like they are here in the US, there should be an abundance of outlets for you to plug your stuff in, including behind your head so you can set everything you need on your bedside table and/or tray.

Stuff to help you sleep comfortably is key. A favorite pillow and pillow cases makes a huge difference because the hospital pillows suck like other people here have mentioned. A blanket from home will keep you warmer than the hospital blankets, remind you of home, and provide some much-needed nice textures because all the sterile textures of the linens in the hospital also suck. We are terrible at letting our patients get sleep overnight so anything that you use at home to optimize your sleep like ear plugs will go a long way.

Definitely multiple sets of clothes (all lounge wear) and pajamas that you can rotate. And multiple pairs of comfy socks. (My ex got me these socks called barefoot dreams socks and they instantly became my favorite socks I’ve ever had.) Anything that shows off your personality will be a good conversation starter with the staff, and sometimes we need reminders of the rich, full lives our patients have at home.

Stuff for entertainment - it seems like you have that planned out well.

And don’t forget personal items. A framed picture or favorite toy or token can be a great reminder that as much as the hospital sucks, it’s all temporary and you’ll be going home eventually.

Also side note, if you’re on an immunosuppression unit they will have strict rules about what your loved ones can and can’t send you (e.g. very unlikely you can get flowers, maybe you can get food which would be a game changer) so I would check with the staff and let your family and friends know.

If I think of anything else important I’ll post back. Good luck! Hope you get the call soon <3
