The PT gave me a second gown, so I could wear it "backwards" and walk around without exposing myself. Was a great idea. <br /><br />I sure know what you mean about having no attention span. Most of the tIme, I watched TV for "mental stimulation."

I had a little command center tray for both of my hospital stays, and I agree 100% with you, the lip balm was the most important item - it seems our lips are the first to dessicate from either the anesthesia or the arid hospital environment!
