How I beat the heat in the Hospital

If you do not have a fan to bring to the hospital, asking the nurse (or a family member) to soak a few wash cloths in a basin of ice and water worked wonders for me! I cooled myself off about a thousand times during the first night there! I also found that breathing through the cold cloth seemed to hydrate my nose and mouth. Over all the cold water felt very refreshing, and actually perked me up enough to get out of bed 8 hours after surgery! I just thought I'd share my suggestion for a cooler hospital experience. I'm sure it's been mentioned before.
