I took way too much stuff. I took crocheting which I did not do at all, I took many magazines, which I barely looked at, writing paper, and my Ipod which I used mainly for music. I took a lot of stuff and did not use half of the things as you are kept busy with rehab, the CPU machine, visitors, and resting. An Ipod touch and or phone if it is all in one is more than what is needed. Live and learn.
