Have your essentials brought to you by a friend or family member, so they can move them from room to room as you are relocated from one area to another. Bring the bare minimum and stuff that’s easily replaced if lost or stolen.
I brought my electric toothbrush, comb, a printed list of phone numbers in case my cell phone wasn’t handy – just a few family members and attendants. If you can physically manage a novel, it’s nice to have a good book. I also have my Rx meds with dosages etc, a list of contact info for my various doctors and a list of anything I’ve been diagnosed with and when.
