Packing for Hospital? Here's What Genuinely Helped During Recovery

Описание: What should you actually pack for a hospital stay?

After three surgeries, this is the hospital packing list I’d use now — what genuinely helped, what didn’t matter at all, and what I wouldn’t bother taking again.

I’ve been on both sides of this: packing with anxiety before surgery, and lying in a hospital bed realising half the things I brought were unnecessary — while a few simple items made a huge difference. In this video, I share my real, lived experience so you can pack with confidence, not guesswork.

This isn’t a generic checklist. It’s an honest breakdown of:
-What actually helped during recovery
-What I packed before but wouldn’t take again
-Small comforts that made hospital life easier
-How to avoid overpacking when energy is limited

If you’re preparing for surgery, a hospital stay, or supporting someone who is, I hope this helps remove some of the uncertainty and stress.
