A lot of people suggest a portable CD player and magazines but quite honestly I brought both and used neither. You may ask your doc if it is okay to bring your own meds from home as it will save you or your insurance a little money. My doc had me bring mine and they sent them to the pharmacy to make sure they were what the bottle said and then I just took them as I was supposed to and the nurse just double checked to see that I had.

Hope this helps! Loree
