Packing for Hospital; Mastectomy Essentials | BRCAchatter 🗣️🧬

This vlog focusses on what you need in your hospital bag. I reflect on what I found most useful and include suggestions from other previvors. I had a preventative mastectomy, but a lot of this haul is generic and useful for all hospital stays (ok maybe not the mastectomy bra… and pillows..). This is my first vlog to feature Bunty Bloopers - A regular distraction from filming. Cats hate closed doors - who knew? Here is my list: Mastectomy bra Drain bags Mastectomy pillow Pyjamas (button up) Pants Dressing gown Slippers Slipper socks Flip flops Water bottle (with built in straw) Straw Snacks Throat lozenges Eye mask Ear Plugs PHONE (with downloads) Long lead phone charger Headphones (noise cancelling, wireless) Headphone splitter Book/Kindle Diary/pen Lip balm Wetwipes (biodegradable!) Hairbrush/ties Dry/Shampoo, condition (travel size) Deodorant Toothbrush/paste Electric Fan Anything else - add in the comments below. This is the list from my local support group; Keeping a Breast https://www.keepingabreast.org.uk/hin... 🗣️Let's Chat 🧬 Instagram:   / brcachatter   Twitter:   / brcachatter
