My Hospital Go Bag 2.0
Since I posted my first blog post on my hospital go bag, I have made a few edits. Having used the other bag once in 2024, I wanted a few changes. Please note this post contains affiliate links.
(Blog post 1 – My Hospital Go Bag)
Change 1 – A new bag. The OKYUK 70L Hiking Backpack that beyond fits everything.
Change 2 – A regular Kleenex box. I found the square box hard to pack.
Change 3 – Due to Boxing Week here in Canada, I picked up a pair of Wyze earbuds to replace a pair of wired headphones I purchased at Dollarama that partially don’t work.
So what’s in it otherwise?
- A change of underwear for a week.
- Toiletries including tooth brush/tooth paste. (I use the one my dentist gives me but you can buy small ones at Dollar Tree.) The bag itself is a pencil case I bought at Dollar Tree that fits everything.
- Nail clipper.
- A hallowe’en sized bag of Skittles with smaller bags in it. Please note I am not diabetic.
- A list of my medications.
- A “No Needles/No BP” bracelet. As a dialysis patient, this is important.
- A bottle of lotion.
- Wyze earbuds.
- Back up charging cable & USB/USB C plug.
- Adult colouring book from Dollarama
- Coloured pencil’s from Walmart
- A box of store-brand 3-ply Kleenex from Metro.
- A blanket from home.
- A light bath robe. Not all units have those hospital robes.
- A notebook & pen to write down questions and answers when talking to doctors.
- A good pair of slippers.
- A lux bar of soap from The Rocky Mountain Soap Company. The holder I got from Dollar Tree.
- Lip balm.
- Organizer for my charging cables.
- A small LED lantern so I have some control over the light around my bed .
