Share your advice: Taking care in hospital

Hi,
Staying in hospital can be stressful, depressing and worrying. It's important that we know how to look after ourselves: things to take with us that give comfort; things others can bring in for us or do for us. And sometimes we may have no-one to do anything for us.

I am currently pulling together a self help article on this topic.
If you would like to share your experience and advice on what can help, then feel free to add it to this discussion. I will add your suggestion to my article, and share it all here with our community.
Many thanks and best wishes.

Hello Karin, Having op on Monday for bowel cancer, worried, but, waited for this moment in time for ages! Had lots of treatment, Chemotherapy and radiotherapy to get to this point, will keep you posted on how everything goes! 🤞
Dear @Lesley
My best wishes for your op on Monday! I hope the treatment sofar has not been too gruelling. An op and subsequent recovery also takes energy. Another mile stone. Try have some relaxing days between now and then. Keep us posted.
Very best.
Karin
