Jennifer,
I agree with all said ahead of me including about the bra.
I took pjs, but never wore them...did use my robe for the walking which I started day 3...walk, walk, walk.
When I left, day 5, I wore jeans (loose) and a large sweatshirt with a large soft waffle weave undershirt (It was in January too). I would wear elastic waist pants if I did it again though, buttoning the jeans just torqued the sternum too much. Socks weren't necessary as they gave me socks with rubber patterns on the sole, so I didn't even worry about slippers.
I did take and use body lotion and facial moisturizers. I really dried out all over. I didn't wash my hair until we got home where my husband could help. I used a little make-up on day 4 and 5.
I took my walkman and earphones and tapes...I enjoy my music and it helped block out the noise when I was trying to sleep. I brought lots to read, but really didn't do any. If Bill wasn't there I slept...unlike a lot of people here, I just zonked out all the time.
Good luck and know we will be praying for you.
