Depends on the surgery and if you'll actually be allowed time to settle to

I had a knee replacement in October and took my travel pillow with me.
Managed to do some on the day of admission, but the operation was at 8.30 am
the next day. It was getting on for noon before

Wow, that's some spectacular collection of textiles. Jane Viking Swanson,
check out the Blattenburg coat. There are some nice lace yardages and
lace- and lace-trimmed garments to drool over, too. And a calf-length Irish
crochet coat.
Anyone who hasn't gone to see, check it out!

If you can tat, make sure that you have your shuttle on your person at all
times. Hospital personnel are much inclined to appear in your room with no
warning and rush you to the other side of the complex, plunk you on a bench,
and disappear for ages.
