Hospital Crohn's Patient Cart

What a great idea! Add baby wipes or the adult equivilent to make it easier cleaning that sore bum.

i think i have one that no one mentioned. Some type of book or information about safe pain management. I know it's a growing concern getting addicted to the pain meds - but we are in pain darn it and need something...so some type of info for that would be great!
gum is another thing. your breath can get really rank even tho u brush when u'r on a liquid diet. lotion is also a great one. prendisone and other drugs tend to dry my skin out and i needed that in the hospital too!

Great idea and a good cause! This definatly wouldn't have been a concern 10 years ago..i'm so glad the medical society is opening their eyes to patients real needs/concerns!
Meds are not the only thing to make us better, but positive thinking and a strong support system! Don't just treat our gut, but our mind and body too!

definitely a good idea....every hospital should have this stuff....i'm lucky to be in a hospital right now that has all of these things and more, i just have to ask, and if i can't think of it, they usually do...which is really nice, cause i'm still learning new things everyday to cope.......but heres some stuff:

bathroom stuff:
baby wipes--could never live without these, don't think i'll ever use toilet paper again, unless in public restroom
barrier cream for rashes
soothing soap that doesn't dry you out....the dispensers in the bathroom carry that antimicrobial stuff, cracked my hands right up
lotion
toothbrush
deoderant
floss
mouthwash
nail clippers
hairbrush
qtips
depends/attends diapers.....surprisingly comfortable and stress relieving
sitz bath kit

time killers:
crossword and other game books
magazines
newspaper
notebook or notepads for thoughts
books
deck of cards
wireless internet

snacks:
crackers of all types: saltines (salted and unsalted), graham crackers, ritz crackers, with dips (peanut butter, honey, whatever)
popsicles, sorbet, italian ice
jello
muffins....corn muffins at my hospital rock! for some reason don't mess me up, lol
toast/bread
protein/calorie drinks...i've been doing peptamen with probios, with the optional flavor packs (french vanilla, chocolate, orange cream, and my favorite cappuchino)
broth/soups
tea
water
and for those hungrier moments...tuna or chicken salad on or off toast

just thinkin of stuff i've been using the past couple weeks....
