Bendy straws,easier for sipping without having to sit up completely. I took a light pashmina shawl as the air conditioning can be a bit chilly. Lollies for sucking such as Werthers, mints etc. I found my kindle easier to read in bed instead of trying to hold a book. Also able to read lying on my side without my glasses, so the side of my head didn't get tender...just increased the font size. Slippers that just slip on without you having to bend down and use your finger to lift the back of the slipper onto your foot. I fancied a bottle of Bickford's Lime cordial as the bottled water dispensed is at room temperature and ugghhh when not cold. I (of course) took my knitting as well. Ear plugs if you can tolerate them...the banging of doors, buzzing of bells, clack clack of inconsiderate staff's shoes. yakking in the corridors and so on is unbelievable!! Dark eye mask to block out corridor and night lights...also the glowing of lights on IV monitors. Best of luck xoxo.
