Time to start *Packin Up* for the Great Escape!
Don't forget to take all the plastic "stuff" they put in your room - the
"Stuff" they WON'T clean & reuse - just toss it with the trash between patients.
(I'd watched "Housekeeping" (a slightly misnamed group of slackers and
dirt repositioners) "clean up" after a roomie moved out ...
and questioned why "All that Good Stuff was getting trashed?"
Answer: "It's been *contaminated* by a patient.")
I had quite a bag-full at checkout:
* the flimsy plastic "wash basin" - I wound up with 2 I never knew I had -
hidden in my chest-of-drawers table
* the bag of Tooth Sponges - lil plastic sponges on a stick - imitation tooth brushes
* tubes of "tooth paste" - glue-like substance to use with tooth sponge
* lil jugs of "hair shampoo" - that never raised one bubble of lather
* lil jugs of "body lotion" - watery but it DID work
* boxes of tissues - musta got a new one every other day - quite a pile
* hand soap bars - yep - new one every day in the bathroom with the towels
* hospital-issue Slipper-Socks - wiffa non-skid rubber bars onna bottom - 2 pairs
* Hair nets (2) - souvenirs from MRA & Cath labs - Ted E. Bear started wearin em
* annnnd - the ever-popular tiny plastic Emesis Basin - 2 no less
I didn't *swipe* any towels - they weren't Monogrammed.
Well, Happie Packing - as Mom always said - "Open ALL the drawers a second time
to double-check you haven't forgotten anything!"
SAFE Trip - We'llya at Home!

Didn't you get gloves? You know the ones with talc inside, they're quite handy for dishwashing and garden work.
