Hospital Reminders:

Bring your own pillow. Those hospital ones suck. Plus other people drooled on them. If you can't plan, make sure someone brings you one at first visit.

And watch your weight. I always gain weight in the hospital. Snacks all the time....Yum.

Cutting will get you one-on-one. LOL
And no, the nurse won't wipe your ***!

Partcipate in craft group. It is usually the best and sometimes the crafts are real good.

Socks. The hospital will give you a pair, but no-one wears shoes, so bring some comfy socks.

Don't bother trying to look prettty. No one does
And all make-up, curling irons, and hair dryers are kept locked up, with limited access.

Don't be an *** to the staff. They have access to the movies, the games, the snacks, the TV, the phones, etc. If you treat them like %#@&#!, your free-time will suck because the staff will all of a sudden get busy.

If I think of any more tips, I'll add them...
