Hospital bag

I had my lumpectomy on 2 November with hook wires prior to the the operation. Stayed overnight. Everything went well except having nausea and vomiting. They said it is " normal" and is a result of anesthetic. Happy it is over for now. Seeing my BS in 10 days. I brought with me my post surgery bra from Kmart which is absolutely fantastic and comfortable. My McGrath nurse visited me and gave me a bag for drain, showed me how to exercise and we had a nice chat. When the doctors visited me after the operation,  I asked them to send me a Breast care nurse and they did while I was still in hospital. . 

All the best, @kyles1 .... here is a link where members have mentioned lots of bits that they took with them ...

I found the 'airline pack' of ear plugs and eye mask to be invaluable - as hospitals are incredibly bright & noisy places, even at night time.  ;)   These ones are brilliant - squish them to pencil thickness & shove them in - they then 'fill up' the space nicely.



Magazines & puzzles are often better than books too - as there are too often many interruptions to be able to maintain concentration required for a good book.  

take care
