I didn’t need much at all. I took loose clothes for afterwards, leggings and a zip up hoody, sports bra, slippers to walk to theatre in, used my phone charger. Didn’t bring any food or drink as they provided it all and I watched the tv in the room. I took a v pillow for the car journey home and that’s all. You barely need anything. As for recovery, day 2,3 and 4 were the worst for me pain wise and I couldn’t lift my arms up much. My mam had to tie my hair up and help me wash under my arms. I struggled with sickness quite bad off all the tablets and slept a lot the first few days. It is manageable without someone but I would recommend having someone around the few days xx
