Sorry You Have To Be Here

If you're finding my page, I want to extend my sympathies and say I'm sorry you found your way here. You might be planning an upcoming hospital stay, or you're trying to find a way to support your loved one during their medical situation. Either way, I want to say that I wish you didn't need to be here. I have had several hospital stays. Some short-term and others long-term. During those periods, I've had some excellent support from loved ones who could visit regularly as well as being far away and only infrequent visits, and then there was the dreaded hospital stay during COVID when I wasn't allowed any visitors.

It's very similar to traveling. The first time you go on a trip, you completely overpack and have all the wrong things. By the time you're a seasoned traveler, you can have your entire vacation fit inside of a carry-on. I am a seasoned traveler to the hospital and can offer some advice on what to pack to make your hospital experience and home recovery a little more functional and comfortable. Almost every recommendation on here comes from experiences I've had with gifts I've been given during my hospital stays and home recoveries.

Thank you for taking the time to think about what might be supportive as you navigate through this difficult time. Please email me if you have hospital or home recovery gift ideas or tips.
