-some comfy pj's (different weights in case you heat up or get cold)
-phone by bed with updated list of friend's and family phone numbers to capitalize on good stretch.
-Netflicks: for a monthly fee, get 3 DVD's in mail at time. No going out to video store.
-some good books if you are up to reading
-water bottles and snacks for bedside. Tylenol etc. right there.
-I needed gloves for cold hands, but hopefully you won't have that problem!
