Sorry I can't advise on the lop sided aspect, as I had a bilateral mastectomy without reconstruction. My hospital "have to haves" was this. Open up the front pyjamas or nighties as getting arm/s up to put on and remove is a tad difficult. Slippers that have non slip soles and are easy to slip on and off. Bending over to use finger to lift the back on a closed slipper is a mission. Bendy straws so you can sip fluids without having to sit up. Bickford's Lime Cordial, as the bottled water given out tasted bleeghhh to me at room temperature. Some sucky lollies such as Werther's or mints. My kindle...easier for holding one handed reading in bed lying on the side. Money in smaller denominations for buying goodies from the pink ladies as they only take cash, and have limited change. Ear plugs or noise cancelling earphones to block off bed buzzers, other patients calling out, staff yakking in the corridor at 2am. Staff and visitors wearing clack clack or squeak squeak shoes up and down outside your room....you get the picture. Eye mask like on airplanes to block out night lights on the wall and even the glow in the dark blipping and numbers on monitors. I'm sure others will add more of their personal favourites. Good luck.
