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.

    Hello, 

    Just joined and read through this excellent thread. I'm anticipating to begin the allo transplant in November and this was really helpful. 

    Also, just want to thank all of you for your time, posts and kindness!

  • 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.

  • 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).
