Maybe some chapstick. I am addicted to chapstick, so I take it every where. I caked it on right before I went into surgery...and my lips didn;t feel all dry and crackly when I woke up.
I echo the chap stick suggestion. And I like that you have the wisps on the list!!
If you like to have your own stuff for comfort, go for it!
Even though there are dispensers with hand sanitizer on the walls in almost every room, you might want to have a small bottle handy.
Good luck with the eye mask and earplugs.
It's almost impossible to sleep no matter what. If they need to check you for anything, they'll wake you up. :( If you have an IV, you'll probably need to get up and pee every 3 minutes anyway. :)
Sounds like you have it covered. :-) Best of luck!
Hopefully you'll be sleeping most the time and won't need much!
Best wishes and speedy recovery!!
You sound prepared. Good luck!
