Making the best of hospital bedrest

Here are some suggestions once you've been placed on hospital bedrest to make your time there as enjoyable as possible.

Photos from home are always a good idea. Snacks- when my dad brought me Kit-Kat's it made my freaking day!! I always appreciated having a good magazine or book. Bring your laptop if you want to watch movies or surf the web. If you enjoy a craft like scrap booking or knitting you could bring supplies. Bring along things like make up or your favorite perfume. It always feels good to have a bit of eyeliner or perfume on. My husband left crossword books for me. It sounds cliche but fresh flowers always make a hospital room much prettier. Flameless scented candles also make a room feel more like home. Always encourage visits from family and friends.
