    Battling cancer and multiple autoimmune diseases has left me being frequently admitted to the hospital so I always carry a bag with me since I never know when it's going to happen. I have comfy leggings, tank tops, a light robe (I cant stand hospital gowns, Im almost always able to wear my own clothes) also I have comfy non slip socks , and slippers. If I'm home beforehand, I take my favorite pillow and blanket (or my family brings it for me). I have my own hygiene products for showers, etc. I have a book to read, my Kindle Fire tablet, ear buds, smart phone (chargers are important), a pack of playing cards, my journal, pens, a couple cute hats/scarves to keep my bald head warm, and latest medication list, appointment schedules, etc. I feel a lot of comfort knowing I have everything I need with me. Although last weekend, I slept most of the three days I was admitted and didnt do a lot of reading or watching anything.
    I am praying for you Amy. I pray that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible, and please dont worry about posting, take care of yourself first. Blessings Be 💕

    I have a hospital bag that hangs out fully stocked in the back of my closet until I need it. It's fairly similar: phone charger, headphones, pj's, clothes, washbag. I've also got some change for the car park/vending machines, an eye mask and earplugs, a couple of rolls of tape that I know I don't react to, and some snacks

    I hope you are well! You have been in my prayers! And to answer your question, I have never stayed the night in the hospital before, but if I were to go there, I would probably take some clothes/ pajamas (obviously), my laptop and phone, a blanket and pillow, my favorite stuffed animal, hygiene products, and maybe a snack or something. Once again, I really hope you are well and I think that you are so brave and such a strong person! I could never go what you have to go through, and the fact that you are so strong and optimistic despite having to go through so much is very admirable.

    I just wanted to tell you I'm glad I found your channel. I've been really with chronic illness my whole life, and it just keeps getting worse. I live in a rural area(USA), so my access to health care has been fairly limited until recently. And while I received a diagnosis of lupus 10 years ago, I've been feeling like I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle. Then I found you! My physical therapists have brought up EDS several times over the years, but instead of talking to a Dr, or referring me, they just call me loosey goosey and process me through as quickly as possible(except my last OT, she's cool). Because of your videos and how I see all your symptoms fit together, I'm pushing for better diagnosis and treatment. I love watching how you've come through even the hard stuff with a smile on your face(when realistic), and a sparkle in your eye. It makes me feel horrible for how I'm living now(nothing ever gets done because I always feel horrid), but it also gives me hope that I'll be able to get the right treatment to help with my problems!

    I always like to have my own tea. I enjoy a lot of teas aside from plain old black tea (which is all the hospitals have in my area) and I even sometimes like to just smell the tea bags that are for nausea when I'm particularly nauseous. I also like to take my own chicken broth as I don't like the kind the hospital has. Melatonin, I use a specific dissolvable type. My Roku, the hospitals in my area have TVs, so it's nice to plug in and stream. My salt lamp for comfort/night light. Crossword puzzle & word search books. Warmies stuffed animals which were gifted to me in the hospital. They smell have lavendar in them and can be warmed up. Slippers. Body hygiene wipes in case I want to freshen up and am too sick to shower. Something I wish I'd had is an eye mask for sleeping for when the nurses come in and need the light on.

I was so wiped out after surgery, between the epidural not working and having difficulty switching to oral pain meds. I didn't end up using half of what I brought, I just slept😂😂 I'm glad everything went well!! I hope recovery goes well! You can do this!! #PAOWARRIOR ❤💪🏼

    Lip balm or lip Vaseline is a must, especially when fasting and or limited to fluids after surgery. I have just past surgery number 48.
    I've given up taking make-up into hospital. In most cases I never use everything I pack. Taking your own pillow and a soft, light, throw rug is a must. I have given up taking casual, lounging clothes in with me. I always end up staying in my sleepwear. Did you include a travel hair dryer? I usually stay in a hospital gown until I have my first shower. Especially when it comes to drains and catheter.

  • @gigglyscribbles

    Whenever I’m admitted for one reason or another I make sure to always bring my chargers for things, my iPod, and my wallet as well as either a Blu-ray player and stuff to watch with it or a Roku (or both if I remember) to pass the time since my admissions are usually on the longer side. Honestly half the time I forget my phone though and I have to have someone go to my house and get it 😅 I’m actually in the hospital right now funny enough, although the length of time I’ve been here is kinda extreme. I was at one hospital for about 10 months and then I was transferred to where I am now so all in all I have been a admitted about a year and a half straight now. Hopefully I’ll get to go home soon, but there’s always something that comes up it seems. Best of luck to you on your road to recovery 🙂

    I have a hospital bag that’s already packed with essentials at all times because of previous hospital admissions etc. (in the car) it gets changed out/updated once a month.
    It has a small pillow (soft pillowcase w/lavender spray) a blanket, 2 sets of easy loose pjs, 4 x socks, 4 x undies, 2 soft bralettes and then just a pair of leggings, T-shirt, a hoodie & slippers. (Basic toiletries-Tooth brush, tooth paste, hand sanitizer, tiny bottles of shampoo & conditioner, body wash & sponge thing, dry shampoo, hair ties, head band, hair brush, deodorant, moisturizer & lip balm.) some mints, hard candy to suck on when nauseous or when I just need to taste something!
    2 books, headphones & chargers (an extension cord) . A print out of my medical stuff. (Current meds, Drs, diagnosis, allergies etc) and about a weeks worth of meds that I know hospital usually doesn’t have. Oh and a small heating pad & 2 gel cooling packs.
    Take your time to heal. Please don’t be worrying about updates! That’s what insta is for! Love the bear. Super cute! 💕 (mine gets grabbed by partner as it’s always in my bed) - all the love! 💜

    It's fascinating to me to see regular clothes being packed for a hospital stay. Typically here, in Oregon USA, I only see people in those ugly hospital gowns if they've been admitted. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks back in April and had to stay in the gowns the whole time. I had to have emergency surgery while I was there and they were able to take me right down without me having to change clothes. I think that's probably why it's done. Anyway... This is a random babble, sorry haha.

    I love my hospital bag cause it's usually packed or at least know exactly where everything is that I take; such as 1 pair of PJ's, change of pants if it's a cold season and other personal clothing (I can't change my top when it's a scheduled stay cause I'm hooked to a EEG machine for a week). I would pack my bathroom bag, dressing gown, iPad, chargers, the meds I take (even though they take them away and don't use them), book, and now my weighted blanket. But if it's an ED admission it's essentially the same just I tell my mum what to bring and what bag cause she sometimes packs clothes I'm not allowed to wear cause they make my wear a gown incase of CT's and MRI's. I have no idea what you go through cause I have epilepsy that is kind of out of control at the moment but I do wish you all the best with future visits xx

    I’m totally taking notes on what you pack. I always have a small backpack with essentials ready when I go to every appointment, since I just never know when my dr will send me to the ER or to be admitted. Spoonie life, am I right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ Lol
    I use all of my extra/unused lab draw bags & the bags that all of my home health care iv supplies/meds are mailed in. So nice to use for packing meds into or flushes/etc. Yay for repurposing, love that! 🤗
    Such a smart thing to share about packing your meds. Prior to being sick or having surgery I wouldn’t have even thought to pack my usual daily meds. I’ve ran into situations where the hospital pharmacy didn’t have a med that I take on hand, which is no fun! My husband had to make the long drive home to go pick it up. Or the hospital would order it in, which can take days. Thank
    Thanks again for sharing your life & always keeping it real. I also post chronic illness vlogs & uploads of life with my hubby and son! I love this community & how supportive it is. I’ve loved reading all of the nice comments on your videos & thought it was time that I left one of my own! 🙂♥️

Unfortunately I usually end up going to the hospital with nothing in my hands because my issues are having to do with my mental health. So I don't usually have the mindset to think any further than the next few minutes.. sadly.. But it would be great to have the preparation that you do and to have everything at hand. I hope you are getting good care at home and healing well. All my love to you and Tom!!😘❤️🌸

You look very pretty in these two last videos, I love your highlight. I really like your style, your clothes and makeup, I know that people want to see medical videos but I hope someday you can make more fashion videos. I would love clothing hauls, makeup tutorials and if you can a house, room and closet tour, and if Tom agrees you could do a boyfriend tag? I would like to know your story, how you two met, first dates and how you told him about your chronic illnesess and his reaction, etc. I hope you’re doing better, you’re one of my favorites youtubers but I can wait all the time you need, the most important thing is your recovery, so be patient that we are not going anywhere. A big hug 🤗. PS: I loved your new headers? on both of your channels (I don’t know if it’s called like that on youtube hahaha)

    I have VACteRl. It is a rare medical condition. You seem so positive about your life style and what you deal with. I am just a teenager who had 9-10 surgery's already. I am getting an other one in August. I love your videos and how you cope with your medical problems. I hope your surgery went well. I think you are a good inspiration. Love your videos

    I have home going clothes (I use hospital clothes on ward, I don't like having a bag full of laundry when I get home), a big bag with ostomy supplies, dressings, catheter supplies. Medicine for 2 weeks, a bag with soap, deodorant, toothbrush and things. Mobile phone and charger, ebook reader, braces for feets, hands, fingers and neck. And 2 small pillows..
    I have everything packed so if my body tries to kill me I don't need to use energy to get all things together.

    I've only been in hospital to have my babies. The only thing for myself that I packed was brand new comfy knickers as after having a baby literally everything down hurts and all you want is comfy undies. I did pack other stuff but comfy undies and pjs are a must for me

  • @motherofalienspawn7065

    Your health, happiness n rest is all that matters!! Lotion, tooth brush/toothpaste, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, yes definitely extra meds, cash for vending machines, extra clothes, bottled water bc it seems like there's never enough! Cough drops bc the air in hospitals is always so dry!!😁😘

    Hope recovery is going well!
    I really just bring phone, laptop, iPad, chargers, neck pillow(s) that I use both day and night, some undies and one change of clothes to wear as I go back home if I can’t or don’t want to wear the same clothes I went in with. Earphones is another must of course... Funnily enough, last time I was in hospital, which is almost 6 years ago now (hysterectomy) I only really used my phone and didn’t take my laptop out of the bag even. I was using my phone for social media and other than that just rested and watched tv and tried to do some crosswords as I did bring a crossword magazine too. Hygiene wise I only bring toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush and maybe shampoo and shower gel, though here at least they do have the latter in the hospital so I only really bring it to use my own, especially with shampoo as my hair can be a bit picky and becomes a mess if I use a brand or type that it doesn’t like. I really try to bring as little as possible if going to hospital, while admitted I tend to stay in the hospital clothes as they’re very comfy here both for day and night. More like a very soft and comfy button up nightshirt rather than a gown, and there’s also button up T-shirts and very soft and comfy sweatpants so I just don’t see a reason to pack a ton of my own clothes when I can just be all comfy in the hospital clothes while admitted. I don’t bring much creams and lotions and such as I don’t use it much to begin with, and I definitely don’t bring makeup as I hardly ever use it at home even (only really on special occasions) but a lip balm is always good to bring so I tend to have that at least. Medicine wise I bring my patches, the Tegaderm to cover the patch and I bring my asthma inhaler(s). I know that with things like post op pain it’s better to just let the hospital deal with that so I don’t bring my as needed painkillers as those are of better use at home so I don’t have to renew my prescription as soon, it is the hospitals duty to deal with pain management post op anyways so that’s not something I should have to use my normal medicines for. I also don’t bring things like Imodium or stool softeners or what have you as that’s another thing that the hospital may want to keep track on if and how much a patient has needed it, so then it’s better to have it provided by the hospital so it gets registered properly.

    I’m 22 and I have quite a few chronic illnesses (none as severe as yours however). I have stage 4 hypertension that runs normally at 160/100 (normal is around 120/60) and chronic tachycardia where my heart rate regular rests at about 140bpm (normal is 60-80bpm) which is a type of heart arrhythmia. These two things alone make me feel terrible when they’re high (I am on medicine though that keeps them within a safe range) and I get terrible sweats and migraines and I get super out of breath and feel like I’m gonna pass out. On top of that I have generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and depression, as well as being borderline agoraphobic (meaning I’m terrified to leave the house). Anyways I’m currently on two meds for my heart, 3 for my mental health and birth control. I have a pill organizer almost identical to yours that my grandma got me for free through their insurance and it helps me stay organized so much better! No more forgetting if I’ve taken my meds yet and as you can probably guess either missing or doubling up on heart meds is really terrible so it’s important I remember when I’ve taken something and how much I’ve taken!

    HI! im new to your channel and totally inlove with your video! I first watched your daily medical routine and was just wowed at how much you have to do. How long does taking all your meds usually take? How do you manage a regular day or going out to do things with so much medicine to take all the time?

      Hiya hun, so glad I’m not the only person who does this i keep one packed behind the sofa because i spend a lot of time in hospital and recently changed it from winter pyjamas to summer pyjamas and stuff. I can trust hubby to do it but would rather do it myself so less stressful for him as he works and cares for me and easier just to grab. x

    • @cathcoll7961

      Natalie Saxon hi love
      Because I am blind
      It’s just easier to let hubby do it
      I usually know what’s in there
      But brain Farty today lol
      If I didn’t have one packed
      It’s 3 to 4 hours to hospital
      So a must
      I hold your doing ok at present
      Love and blessings ❤️

I usually get hubby to help me pack mine and then as I use things if I need more he brings it into me. I’m not doing great but plodding along, Hope ur okay. x
