‘Go’ Bag List for Hospitals and Emergencies
It’s always best to be prepared. With leptomeningeal disease, you may end up running to the emergency room. Or you go in for a standard appointment and the next thing you know, you’ve been admitted to the hospital. There are always surprises with this disease.
It can be helpful to bring a ‘go’ bag with you when you leave the house. If you always use the same car, you can even leave it in the car.
Suggestions of what to include:
- Change of clothes for the patient
- Change of clothes for caregiver(s)
- Comfortable items to sleep in
- Toothbrushes and toothpaste
- Deodorant
- Face wipes
- Phone charger
- A comfort item such as a pair of fuzzy socks and a blanket
- Any medications you need (if you have extra supply)
- Anything extra that you need or would help
Print this list, make it your own, get your bag packed and hopefully, you won’t need it!
