You're almost there!! Pack lite for the hospital...the few things I found

very helpful were my chapstick, my slippers and several nighties (we didnt

have hospital gowns in Spain). Believe it or not..I also took an extra

suitcase and took my 4 pillows from my bed...LOL But I'll tell ya...it was

the best thing I did!!!

The biggest thing I think at your mom's is to have a place to lay down that

you can get up without your stomach muscles...this could be her holding your

hand as you sit up, a table next to the bed, or even just using your arms to

leverage yourself. I think its so highly individual with what youll need.

I'm wishing you the best!!!!
