Today I am going to make a list of things that you should bring with you to the hospital and during your recovery. This is not everything I will be bringing but just a few for my trip to Atlanta!
1. Pajamas- you will need something comfy so wear while recovering! I would suggest something loose so it does not rub on your incisions.
2. Dress- this one is kind of weird but for the plane ride home I don't want to be wearing pajamas, but I want to be comfortable. Yoga pants is usually my go to item for this, but it will rub on my incisions. So a loose comfy dress is going to be the most appropriate option for the ride home.
3. Socks/ slippers- something to keep your feet warm and so you do not have to walk barefoot on the hospital floors. I know they do give you some at the hospital but I prefer ones from home. They are more comfortable to me.
4. Pillow- your own pillow makes you feel more at home!
5. Stuffed animal- there's nothing better than squeezing a comfy stuffed animal when your in pain! They just make everything better! My mom made me a build-a-bear that has yellow bows and a white cami that has a yellow ribbon attached. She made it as a good luck bear for surgery! I will include a picture at the bottom!
6. Book- I am bringing a book to keep me entertained on the flight and at the hotel during recovery.
7. Toiletries- must bring them to keep up with hygiene! (Toothbrush, hairbrush, etc.)
8. Hair ties- to keep your hair out of your face. I know from past surgeries when I was recovering I wanted my hair out of my face because it got annoying.
Again, these are just a few things I think you should have for your recovery. Thanks again for all the support! Wish me luck! 
Well planned Brittany! Great job!
