Yup, bring a very very very close friend/partner. Mine not only took care of me, but she also helped another girl a whole lot when she needed it... Basically, baby, can you turn down the A/C? I need some juice! Where's my tramadol??? Can you set up the room service tray, and get more TP too....

Like a remote control for life itself!
There was too much brain fog/drugs to read much, so don't bring a million books... laptop was also a lifesaver, as there is always internet.... I went with dr suporn, who gives you a care package that includes everything from pads to a really good quality donut cushion to an alarm clock for dilation... I brought a lot; didn't need a single thing.
