Put these in your suitcase!

I have a couple of things to suggest for your packing list.

I know most of the other lists say don't take any valuables, but I am so glad that I took my small mp3 player. I was able to put the earbuds in and listen to my favorite music and tune out the annoying roommate and hospital noise. I fell asleep with it playing both nights that I was in the hospital. Don't forget the charger!

Another thing that was really helpful was "Wisp" disposable toothbrushes. I didn't have to get out of bed to brush my teeth and felt refreshed and more "human" after using them. I also appreciated a package of tic tac mints.

I haven't seen these things on other packing lists, so they might be helpful to someone else!
