What do people actually bring for long infusion days?

Infusion-chair veterans tend to pack like they're boarding a short flight — and it genuinely changes the day.

The most-loved items in our community: a proper neck pillow or small cushion (clinic chairs are nobody's friend), the warmest soft layer you own because infusion rooms run cold, offline-downloaded shows or audiobooks so hospital wifi can't ruin the plan, lip balm and hand cream for the dry air, your own snacks if your clinic allows them, and a long charging cable — the socket is never where you sit. Some people keep a dedicated 'infusion bag' permanently packed by the door, which removes the morning scramble entirely.

Your infusion nurses are also a goldmine of practical tips for your specific clinic — they've seen every trick worth knowing.
