- Rubber-soled shoes with enclosed heel.
- One outfit of loose fitting clothing, including underwear, socks and shoes.
- Walker, crutches or cane. Do not go out and buy these items if you do not already have them. We will arrange for the equipment that is right for you.
- A robe to wear in hospital hallways when you walk. Please do not bring a floor-length robe, as it may get tangled in your walker or crutches.
