For the headband google turbie band and you'll find them
maggie armstrong thank you, I've been looking for something like that as well!
Thank you!!!!
So sorry you are in the hospital again! I wish you the best and hope you have a speedy hospital stay 💖
As much as I hate my continued hospitalizations, it’s always best to be prepared. These are few of my own must have’s for hospital stays:
Kleenex - hospital tissue is really rough!
Lip balm
10ft iphone charging cable - available on amazon
Soft Cozy Blanket from my sister - for comfort & warmth
Leggings & a stretchy bra - (since I always have to wear the hospital gown)
A Ty Peek-a-Boo’s - they are phone/device holders
Sorry you're in the hospital again, but glad you're feeling better. This probably wouldn't apply to you Jaquie, but when I was hospitalized my Mom stayed with me and saved everything that would keep from my food trays (rolls, salt packets, napkins, unused tea bags, etc.) so we'd have extra if needed rather then wait for a nurse to bring something or Mom have to go get it. A couple of times I had rolls leftover from dinner as a midnight snack, lol.
I’m so sorry you’re back in the hospital but I really hope you feel better and get to go home soon! I got to do one of my new favorite things....watch one of your vlogs while attempting lunch. It’s a much needed pick me up since I’ve been having my own health challenges. I didn’t realize how much this time helps me be better able to face the ups and downs I’m dealing with now.
I’m in for spinal surgery and I used your last video to help me pack for my procedure. I overpacked a bit. But I do feel pretty prepared and am super grateful for all the help I’ve gotten from you.
I feel for you +Mary Ma. I've had 6 spinal surgeries. I hope all goes well and I wish you as speedy a recovery as possible. Not sure if you are new to this (prob not), but the best advice I can offer is to get moving as soon as the Dr and nurses deem it possible. My experience is that although it is painful, it helps in the long run. xo Heather🇨🇦
Mary Ma hope your surgery went well!
I expected one of your items to be the game trouble!
I have CHD completed all my surgeries and now I am doing a myocardium therapy once a month for 1.5 day via an iv pump. I bring with me most og the things you mentioned plus my Nintendo Switch wich is a gaming console to play when I am bored. I hope you are feeling better by the time I am writing this comment and you are back to your home.
I'm also in the hospital!!! I'm in cuz I had 3 Tonic Clonic seizures and a Tonic seizure overnight so we are currently waiting on the EEG results to see if I have Epilepsy
Feel better soon. Good luck, hope you get home to your family.
So sorry your in the hospital. Music and headphones is a must for me for sure.
I have ornithinetranscarbamylase and other health issues and when i go to the hospital i have my 2 favorite stuffed animals i bring with me. One is a stuffed bear ive had since i was diagnosed at 6 and a stuffed octopus my mom gave me.
Thanks for this video, best wishes. I ordered one of those beautiful blankets for my bad days. What a lovely charity.
*How is the hospital that quiet??? ( usually loud )*
I hate hospital gowns also. Praying that you'll be able to go home soon. 🙏❤
a tip for when you're not the one hospitalized but you're going to be there for a long time: bring a pillow. i was at the hospital for 10 hours with my mom who was having surgery and my ride lived far away so we stayed there the whole time. i curled up on one of hte longer guest chairs and fell asleep and would've loved to have a pillow or blanket lol
I have headphones by a company called cozy phones. It’s a headband-style that fits flat against your ear so you can sleep with them on. Comes either with a super long cord or Bluetooth. It has improved my sleep immensely.
Ah I got a blanket, don't know if it came from Brave soul blankets, while I was hospitalized. They knew I was a dog fanatic and gave me a paw print blanket in my favorite colors, cream, brown, and black. Oddly enough it was semi quiet in the hospital when I was there. I got these cute polar bear socks that are incredibly soft with little rubber dots on the bottom to prevent slipping.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!! Chronic pain issues. After you shared your heating pad I bought it right away I love Amazon Prime. I am in LOVE 😍 it’s soft it’s huge I am very grateful you shared it.
Your tips are amazing. I especially love the earphones and sleep mask. I have one for you. Many years ago my doctor ordered me a foam egg crate mattress cover for under my sheets, and it made the bed sooo much more comfortable, that I always have one to bring. They are cheap and roll up very easy. The egg crate one is important, because it keeps you cooler than just a regular foam one.
Lots of prayers and I totally understand what your going through. We have been getting a lot of rain here and grass pollution has been a major issue for me.
So sorry you were in hospital. I like my soft fuzzy socks, soft slippers with grips, soft fuzzy warm blanket, books/entertainment.
I hope you are feeling better and will be heading home soon, Jaquie. Despite you being in the hospital, it is good to see you again. I really miss your vlogs on a daily basis, but definitely understand your desire to step back some.
A couple suggestions for a hospital bag, one of which is often in lieu of that long phone charger, is a good old extension cord. It helps when I need to plug in my laptop and phone and/or heating pad and it gives me the added length too. I also like to have a few large safety pins because some times my charger wires get caught in my blankets or pillow or are just irritating. This way, with lots of length from my extension cord, I can pin the excess wires out of the way. I often pin them to my bottom sheet either along the side of my bed or under my pillow so it isn't a hassle with my top sheet and blankets. Hope these ideas also help somebody. Be well everyone! xo Heather🇨🇦
I'm sorry you're in the hospital again I did find it a little funny though what you said you were ready for the day which meant a nap lol I hope you feel better soon! You don't look as physically drained as you have in your previous vlogs so I'm glad that cutting back on videos has helped you gain more strength ❤
Thankful for your commitment to awareness!! HUGS. Get well.
Hi Jaquie sorry to hear you are back in the hospital. I’m also in the hospital again since May 24th and I can’t go home until probably Monday or Tuesday I take most of the same things with me. Heating pad, stuffed animal, blankets, my iPad, and my braided 10 ft Ipad charger, my brush, tank tops ( I have Hickman line, and tank tops work good plus I hate Hsp gowns) , dry shampoo, my own pajama pants, my own socks
My dad always needs Maggi, the german version of soy sauce. 😊 also his mobile and big headphones for the small tv by his bedside. Other must haves are a fabric napkin and his own medication. We also always bring him his mail and sometimes homemade food along with tons of his favourite sweets, a bit of normality, life does not stop because you‘re in the hospital! (Thank to the Frey life for this revelation!)
Sorry. You are/were in the hospital, but I'm glad you are feeling better.
My hospital bag is big enough to hold my CLAP machine, toiletries that are just for the hospital, 2 10 foot charger cords,with a charger plug that holds both cords so I only need one socket to charge my phone and tablet, pens, paper, a Penny Press Variety puzzle book, my reading glasses, a monocular that I use to watch TV, and 2 sets of ear buds just in case one gets damaged.
Great tips. Sorry to see you're back in the hospital
Hope u feel better soon we love you
Hope your hospital stay is short and that everything is okay!
I just got my second port today, this surgery was awful! But I'm glad I get to watch you! I now have a port on either side of my chest!
oh no! I'm sorry you were doing really well, our bodies need to chill sometimes. Your clothes when possible is a major must! Also, I don't really watch t.v ( except big comfy couch when I was always in) a portable game system, crossword puzzles to stay occupied. I hope you are home now, I first read this as 10 must haves for Easter.
Very helpful video, Jaquie!!! So sorry that you have been hospitalized but happy that you may be home very soon!! 🤗❤️🙏🏻
Hi Jaquie I'm sorry your in the hospital again. Sending prayers . I just got out of the hospital today. Hope you feel better soon and can go home soon!
Hugs, Jaquie! I’m so sorry. Feel better soon. ❤️

My top tip would be, bring your own Kleenex/facial tissue box. The one's stocked at the hospital I work in are useless. Far too small and thin.
I think your awesome because even though you have all these obstacles you manage to stay positive and look on the bright side of things!!!
Sorry your back in the hospital again sweetheart hope things get better for you really soon it doesn't change what you have achieved love you
Just got home from a week-long stay in the hospital. I have a huge playlist of audiobooks on youtube that I can work my way through during the boring times.
That hair puller back thing (my technical name for it. lol) is pretty nifty! I am also a crazy sock person. I don't have many plain white socks. Most of my socks have some pattern or picture on them. Hugs and prayers for a swift recovery!
The headband thing is called a Turbie band/turbie twist :)
Ellie McCarthy thx!!👍
I'll be praying for you as always and I am glad you were feeling good enough to shair this Great Video with all of us. Take Care!!
I bring my journal on top of many things but also the hospital has made it possible for my kids to come up 2 the hospital
Feel better, Jaquie. Don't forget your Trouble game.
Jaquie, I'm just now understanding about your chronic illness. I wish you well and with Our Lord Jesus beside you , you are healed! You are giving me a lot of knowledge about your situation as my daughter has GP. I'm going to share your blogs to her . Hang in there!
Hope you are feeling better ! Thank you for sharing this, I've been trying to find a good heating pad mine was like yours and it finally stoped working. One thing I always need in the hospital us some kinda lip balm, my lips always get so dry!! Thanks again!
Hope you get well soon!🙏🙏
sound advise! feel better fast.
Love you and feel better
Hope you feel alot better soon
So sorry you are back in the hospital. But glad it’s getting better. I just got out of the hospital because of my Alpha1 COPD...
I do understand battling so much at the same time. The meds for my lungs affects my GP.
We keep a bag packed. I bring my heating pad also.
Never thought about the masks. I would LOVE to get the hair thing.
baby powder works well for dry shampoo.
Aww! I feel so bad for you. Get well soon! I love this video as I have scoliosis and have a small chance of getting surgery. Now I probably won’t get it. This is ubber helpful! Thank you! Love you 😍 😘
I hope this hospital visit is a short one for you 🧡
I'm glad I'm not the only one with an eye mask, I think they help you to have a more rested sleep, especially if you use them with headphones, when I was in hospital the nurses used to make fun of my eye mask but it wasn't long before they asked where they could buy one
Hello Jacquie, I am so sorry to hear you in the hospital again. I going to keep praying for you. Great tips for hospital stay. I always have to have a robe, slippers was a must have , books, playing cards, my own pillow and blanket. Lol. My brother had cancer before and he had to have a pitcher of sweet tea and super heroes shirts. Hope you feel better. Sending ❤&🙏.
When I'm in the hospital for all my medical problems they make me were a hospital gown and I HATE it. Especially with my autism and sensory issues the materials of the goun makes me uncomfortable and I don't feel good anyway so why make me suffer through the stupid gown too. One time I refused to put it on so my mom physacly put it on me herself. Btw I'm 14 years old.
I appreciate how you still give us an updates even with these videos with specific topics💜💜
I hope you feel better soon! I started using dry shampoo after watching your videos for days when I don’t have enough energy to shower. Thank you so much for the tip! Love your channel!☺️
What is that hair thing she put her hair up with? What is it called because I’m trying to find it on bed bath beyond?
I hope your Masto gets better, I have it too I understand. I've been there too. In fact today I had to get Solumedrol do to the Masto. I will be praying for you!🤗🙏
Sorry you're in the hospital again.. Hope you feel a bit better soon :)
Good morning Jaquie, i am glad to see you again, i hope all goes well with your health, and thank you for your healthful hospital tips, i am going to have surgery soon. Take care and God bless!
I enjoy the videos when you show us videos like this one
I didn't see it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond but Amazon has it. It's called Turbie Band: www.amazon.com/Turbie-Twist-Band-White/dp/B005VC3AAO . Hope you feel better soon, Jaquie.
My daughter often takes with her to the hospital When she is admitted, a lot of the same items. Her pillow is a must also ❤
Question for anyone I have gastroperis and now they say that I have severe cronic gastric emptying does anyone have any idea of how that could of happened.
Does anyone know how health care works in the US for people with chronic illness (financially)? I know Jaquie has health insurance but sometimes that doesn't cover everything. I'm really hoping that people with chronic illness don't get stuck with immense medical debt :(
Hope it get better for u soon so u can go home soon keep moving farward 🏡🏠
I always like to bring my favorite soap and, when I am admitted for longer than a few days, I also bring some"normal clothes" for when I am having a good day in the hospital. Also, I have to remember to bring all medical items my hospital doesn't carry (for me that's my extra long feeding tube, my port needle and some of my meds). Oh and I completely forgot essential oils. I find it calming to put lavender oil on my pillow, it also helps me sleep.
Sorry hope you feel better soon
Have you tried doing a sinus rinse to clear the allergens in your nose? My teacher mentioned it earlier and I hadn’t thought about it until now
Very helpful, thanks! Don’t forget your Trouble game!
Thanks for the tips and tricks! I hope you are feeling better. You had asked in the last video for video ideas. I have one request I don't think you've ever done...a tutorial on how YOU do You Tube Videos. I know you've shown us your camera and talked about your editing software, but I don't know that you've put those things all in one video and shown us how you use it. Did you always have those special gadgets? What if someone wanted to just due one or two awareness videos. Do you have any tips for us? Thanks!
I haven't been in in a while but one thing I wish I'd thought of bringing (I got this idea from a travel vlog!) is a multi-block extension cord! It'd mean not having to worry about short chargers but also in my hosp there are only 1 or 2 sockets since the others are in use for the bed, feed pump etc and I've found myself having to stop charging my iPod so I can charge my phone or having trouble reaching the device or socket.
Thankyou!!! So many things that could help me!!! I don’t know if it’s helpful-but I can’t manage without my phone AND internet! I also find cleanser/toner/moisturising (and makeup remover if ur that way inclined-I’m not either!) facial wipes for sensitive skin (fragrance free) are a LIFESAVER!!! 3 steps in one, and super if ur feeling not up to doing the whole “routine”!!! Sensitive baby wipes/antibacterial wipes are awesome too-not just for me, but for family/visitors too-they make my life easier in hospital anyway!!! I guess wipes of some description look like my jam, but they are disposable, and make u feel 1/2 decent when ur really unwell-(i don’t use them all the time, but they are good to have on hand). I can’t manage at all without at least one of my pillows from home-mainly the one for my bad lower limb joints, and if I can, a pillow from home for my head. I like to make quilts when I’m able-I find a quilt that family/or a friend has made (or a partially made one of mine🤨-it takes a bit for mine to get finished😕), cheers me on my darkest hospital days!. I hope my suggestions can help another warrior!!!❤️
You are so cute!! Love your videos and your doggo
I'm in the hospital alot also I have gastroparesis and some other medical issues and when I go I bring word searches my tablet to play games and I also bring my rig hooking
I have the same heating pad! It's great!! :)
Does the Mast Cell not cause facial swelling and/or redness?
Hang in there girl!🙂
I bring peanut butter. Seriously. Can't go a day without it. XD
And my sketchbook.
My favorite dry shampoo is the batiste dark brow! It leaves no grey dusty looking! It also smells great! U should definitely try it!
I used to have an NG up my nose and I had that pump but I used to have 400 mph
Love ur vids
Get well soon Jaquie ❤️💕❤️
Hope you get better and you’re back home with your hippo
Prayers 🙏🏻 love and hugs to y'all.
Glad to see you but not glad you're in the hospital! I hope it's just a one-day stay like you said and you get to go home soon.
feel better soon.
I'm so sorry you're back in the hospital, hopefully you will get to go home tomorrow or so. These are all great ideas thank you.
Hi Jaquie! I have RSD and epilepsy, so sometimes I end up in hospitals.
I am a no-life gamer so I bring my laptop (sadly pcs aren't portable lmao), a charger, my service dog (You made me get one oof) ANDDDDDDDDD
i bring my donuts
did i see a laptop ? and if so do u get the internet ?
Hi Jaquie! My name is Jamie and I have Mitochondrial Disease along with several other rare diseases. I’m a big fan of your videos! I’d love to talk to you sometime! You are always in my prayers!
I use a 10 ft. charger. The outlets in my house are awkward and someone always gets left out and needs a charger. It usually is me who needs a charger.
i miss your daily vlogs but i am glad you have decided you need to stop to feel better mentally and physically. stay strong feel better. 😄👍❤️👏
Jaquie! You forgot to mention boardgames and play of cards!! Would you really make it through a whole stay without a game of trouble?? For me, something easy to keep my mind and hands busy is key for longer admissions.
What kind of music do you recommend listening too?
❤️ I’m sorry you’re back in the hospital. Love you Jaquie. (Hope I spelled that right)
I'm sorry you're in the hospital but I'm glad you're being taken care of. ❤️UA-cam is a great distraction.
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream is fabulous for stopping your lips from cracking. It comes as an ointment and also as a lipstick style. I buy mine from Amazon UK.
Jaquie, you get well soon darling and remember that we all love you very very much xxxxxxx
