Hi all, especially anyone facing a hospital stay,
Please feel free to add to this list!
In hospital for a transplant you may not feel much like reading or concentrating a lot, so.....
Trashy tv, films on iPad or DVDs
Favourite music, comfy headphones
Magazines
Favourite duvets/pillows, plus plenty of changes as daily laundry will be needed
Comfy clothes, nightwear and dressing gowns/onesies, slippers
Plenty of underwear changes
Favourite hand cream/lotions bearing in mind you might not want them afterwards because of association!
A few photos/posters to put up with blutack.

Hi moomy, I wasn't able to find a hospital list on this link. Can you send it again?
Thanks!

Hi,
Just read through the pages of this thread from the start, it gives lots of ideas from many people

Thanks, Debala.
It occurred to me that it's tough enough going into hospital for a SCT, just having a few of your own things might make it feel easier!

Hey debala, you get a double welcome today.
We are always happy to make connections across the pond and I am told that Southern California is an 'ok' place ;) but I can sort of match you with the wonderful Highlands of Scotland.
These bodies we have to live in can throw up challenges from time to time and I can see that your husband and yourself have had your fare share over the past few years. So let's hope that the SCT forum members can be of some support when you start your Allo rollercoaster.
Remember to start a new thread once you are looking for info as that helps your support to not be lost in the forum.
Take care.
‘Bumping’ the thread, for ideas of things you might enjoy around you when in hospital for a while.

Very helpful thread as I'm trying (??) to be prepared for husbands ALLO.
I want to try (???) see that he is as comfy as possible and...as hygienic as poss.
Anyone that has tips of what to bring into hospital will be great.

Hi,
It’s a long thread but still useful to read back, apart from changes of bedding for ‘home’ like feel (duvets are great) our lass found her laptop useful for her music needs, plus iPad with a favourite album list and noise cancelling headphones for the noisy ward (even though rooms are separated there is still noise on the ward).
