[quote=Anonymous]People have some great ideas. I spent two weeks in the hospital with my spouse last summer. The things we needed: -Pillows and blankets. The hospital stuff was the pits. -REAL hygiene items. Lotion, soap, dental items, shampoo, etc. PPs are right about the institutional showers - it helps when you have real items and not the hospital stuff. -Sugar packets, non dairy creamer, snacks. -Ask if they need any office supplies. They will get copious amounts of paper - we ended up with a binder to put stuff in. -Try to go by at least weekly, and bring some food. It doesn't need to be homemade, but the hospital stuff if gross. -Books, magazines, other reading material. -Ditto to the housecleaning service. We ended up doing weekly cleaners after he was discharged.[/quote]
