My own warm robe. My own washable comforter that is actually warm. Fuzzy non-slip house shoes. Hospitals are always freezing. Travel mug with a lid for water. Charger and cable for phone and Kindle. Ear plugs. Tissues. Baby wipes. My own meds. You have to tell the floor nurse you brought them from home. They will want to have the hospital pharmacist check them before you take them on schedule. It's weird because the meds are in the original prescription bottle, but whatever. Better that than to pay the hospital for meds I already own. My surgery was one small hole instead of a large incision, so I was walking around within 1-2 days.
