Right ... nearly all packed into one pretty large suitcase, which of course you aren't allowed to take into the hospital, but I am afraid I do not travel light! The problem is, I really don't know exactly what is going to be done or how long I am likely to be there ......



Stoma kit - enough for 10 changes
Medication - enough for 10 days
CPAP machine and mask
Usual hospital dressing gown, slippers, books, food and drink (as theirs is mush ...), pen, crosswords, etc. etc. ...


Now, just need to get through my MRI scans, sensory evoked potentials, and visual evoked potential tests (whatever they are?) tomorrow at the National Neurological Hospital and then call UCLH to see if I have a bed for surgery Wednesday morning ......... hope to have internet access so will keep you posted when I can!



Bye for now ......

Good luck, Rach.
You take lots of things to do, as we all know it gets really boring in the hospital.
Hugs, Ria XOX
