My hospital list was:
Dressing gown and slippers
Couple of comfy nighties(nighties are better, in case you have an urethral catheter for first 24 hours)
"Bridget Jones" pants a couple of sizes too big in case you get a bit of a swollen tum(really common)
Sanitary towels, you'll probably have very light bleeding for a while
A comfy bra
Bath and hand towel
Hairbrush and hair ties
A cushion(great for the car journey home to save the seat belt pressing against your tum)
Peppermint tea bags and polos for wind which is quite painful
Lip balm, hand cream (air con is really drying)
Magazines
Shampoo and conditioner(travel size ones are great)
A really gentle, mild baby body wash(I used dove baby) so your scars won't be irritated
Deodorant
Phone charger
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Wet wipes, lovely for a quick freshen up
I put my toiletries into large ziplock freezer bags. Bathroom stuff in one and everything else in another. It saved having to bend and rummage in your bag if you need anything. I wore loose fitting joggers and a hoodie into hospital and wore the same home, easy to put on. Also my faithful old ugg boots.
If you have a look on the hysterecyomy association website, they have a comprehensive list of hospital items to take in. Also great recovery tips. Doing nothing for 6 weeks is a lot harder than it looks!
Of course I don't think you're a "looney"! I'm happy to help. I can remember how frightened I was xxx
