Hospital stay, what to take?

I’m going into hospital tomorrow to have a full abdominal hysterectomy and could be in for up to five days.
Got PJ’s, jogging bottoms,loose tops, slippers and a dressing gown clothing wise. Also got iPad, Kindle and bit of toiletries packed. Is there anything I’m missing or should take?

Towels. Some fruit flavoured sweets to refresh your mouth. Peppermint to help with wind pains. Squash to put in water. Light snacks/biscuits. You can tell I've had lots of admissions...

Ear plugs, hand cream and lip salve were things I missed. Plus vegetables/fruit! I was desperate for some decent food after a 10 day stay.

ipad/kindle charger?

A mug. A fleece blanket. Lipsalve. Handcream. Phone charger. A flannel. Slippers but I preferred flip flops. Fluffy socks.

Sanitary towels ,Windezze or similar as the gas pain is tricky but that really helped, press a rolled up towel on your wound if you’re going to sneeze or cough- trust me , it REALLY helps.
Remind whoever collects you to put a pillow in the car for under the lap part of the seat belt.
I had mine nearly 4 years ago and it’s the best thing I ever did but take your recovery slowly and listen to the rules about not lifting too much etc.
You’re probably really worried but it honestly was nowhere near as bad as I expected.
Good luck x
