8. Boost and Ensure shakes

Most people think the Boost ones taste better.
I had extreme bad digestion the whole time, and I'm fairly sure you have a totally different regimen, so it was a shake once a day and a bowl of soup for dinner.
As far as driving, you'll be fine the first time...but see how you feel as time goes by. Your medical peeps should be able to advise you on this.
I have my iPad, but I mostly read books when I was there.
Hate to ask -- are you going to lose your hair? I did, and I just treated myself to a second wig today. My first was shoulder-length and I decided I wanted to try short. It's definitely more comfortable!
