What to pack for hospital?

I actually bought a couple of cheap loose nighties which I wore in hospital. The reason for this is i had a catheter in and was more comfortable than when wearing pyjamas.The scar I had was tiny, about 6 - 7 cm, done by robot and wasn't sore. Main discomfort for me was trapped wind, but I just walked up and down ward to get it moving. When I came home I bought some amazing leggings off amazon that have a very broad deep waist. No elastic...so comfy. But the wound is below waist line so not a problem. Hope this is helpful..hugs and

Thank you ….. just packed peppermint tea too! 

Fantastic idea...

I recommend easy slip-on shoes and no socks so that you don’t have to bend to put them on. 

Hi Mavis72

i took loose joggers when i had my nephrectomy but ended up just wearing a hospital gown as having a catheter didn’t work well with the joggers. I had a 20cm growth on my right kidney. The scar started immediately under the sternum and finished at the point where the pelvis starts. The scar was about 20cm. Hope this helps. 

All the best
