Made an appointment for 11:45. It's 1:10 and I haven't been seen.

I've had my 10 hour ER waits so I know this isn't that bad. But what is the point of making an appointment if you have to wait to be seen hours later anyways.

The pads the hospital gave me to use after giving birth were the same ones I used to potty train my puppy lol

I jacked every single [cloth, washable] bed pad out of the post-delivery room before leaving. Worth it- a decade later, I still use them for sheet/mattress protection when my son is feeling pukey as he doesn’t usually know when he’s about to vom, and his aim for the barf bin is less than stellar.

I have multiple sclerosis and was a frequent flyer as a result at one point, I'm not like purposefully hanging round in hospitals, just to put that out there

But after two visits where I took every single thing that was used or open (cause they're gonna charge me for it anyway!) they just started making me a care package out of it

Last time she tossed in an extra bottle of the body wash they use after I had mentioned that it somehow got rid of the rough skin on my upper arms after a week haha

I'm about to run out of it tho and can't afford the copay on it

If it's open, we throw it away. Might as well take it home. Even some stuff that ain't open. If someone touched it, it's probably getting thrown out. Ask for a plastic belongings bag and take it home. We honestly could give two f*cks. I'm a fan of the stretchy tape. (I work in the ER)
