Out and About in New York City: three thing thursday

three thing thursday

This is where I tell you/share three (okay, I know I couldnt possibly just tell you three) things and you tell me/share three things or more ..

So lets begin.

We arrived at the Ambulatory Surgical floor at 6:15 ayem for Toonman's surgery.

A lot of forms were filled out

Info in the computer was updated

he got a smart looking gown to wear

with his new bracelets

white for ID, yellow for fall risk and pink for limb alert

the limb alert cracked me up ..

its to make sure that BP cuff is not put on a limb with a PICC in it

the ride into the OR was done via Stryker

and everything turned out just fine

So now its your turn ..

Glad as could be about the caption! Give him a kiss for me (or even something more so, if it won't adversely affect his recovery and you let him know it won't be any every day thing if and when we meet.)

It's Sunday. I can't believe they need bracelets to remind them what to do right on their job.

I need notes to get through the day, but I get no big bucks for it.

Threat of lawsuits makes for pretty jewelry :)
