When I had my mastectomy it was done as an outpatient procedure on March 14, 2012. The only thing I took to the hospital was one of the robes that I had purchased that zipped up the front. I wore my slip on pink crocs which I highly recommend that you wear a slip on style shoe if you have them or even flip flops if the weather is nice outside because you won't want to bend over to put on tennis shoes. I also wore a pair of jogging pants that were easy for my husband to help me to put them on. I didn't think about it at the time, but I highly recommend that you have a pillow or two in your car for the ride home. I live on a curvy, bumpy road and the ride home was not fun at all. If I had had a pillow or two I think it would have helped me some. I did however take pillows with me when I rode in the car again a week later for my one week check-up.
I'm sure other breast cancer survivor's might have a few other things that they might recommend that you take. If someone has any other suggestions please leave me a comment and I'll update my post. I really want to be able to help others with this and would appreciate any information that you may offer.
