What were the best 3 things you packed for your stay in hospital for your hysterectomy, whether it was just overnight or for a few days? We have had a few threads for this over the last 4 years but they always slip down, so I thought we could start a new one! One of the scary things about being diagnosed with cancer is the feeling of not being in control - focussing on what to pack, and buying in items if needed, can be a helpful thing to focus on as we do have control over it!
For me, my best 3 things were my own pillow, my own snacks and squash, and an extra long charging lead for my iPad as hospital plug sockets are usually way behind the bed!
It was a friend that told me to get them too! I stood in m&s buying the Big Pants and thought "why?" Post hysterectomy it was "Oh I get it now!" 
When I finally got to my room (I was lucky enough to be taken to the private part of the hospital post op) it was quite late and the nurse asked me if I wanted some toast, she said 'white or brown', I heard 'white or red' and thought 'it is posh here, they have wine' 
. I was still half asleep
