The first thing to remember once you are in your 21st Century hospital room is don’t touch anything.
Superbugs, especially MSRA, kill thousands of people a year in British and American hospitals.
So I am sure all these precautions are absolutely needed even if they do tend to make me quite paranoid.
These soaps and rubs are never more than a few feet away. Thankfully, I had five of them in a my room and I was the only one in it.
Now the good news is that the British Design Council last year had a competition to redesign the hospital gown. No more ties and no more backless. The one I was issued had three arm holes with the end result being a total wrap-around garment. Of course when you are a totally unhandy person getting the right combination of which arm in which holes took me about ten minutes to master. But it is comfortable and I never could tie those old one behind my back.
Even more remotes than we have at home and none control a TV.
Uplifting artwork in the hallways helps lift the spirit.
Well….
now that you mention it….
do you have any Lotus Brand,
Cushion-Softies?
Meanwhile….just remember……
I wonder whether a tissue is allowed in that thing.

Hi Bob – this is Charlie’s mom just wanting to say hello and ask how your eye is doing. We (John and I) enjoyed meeting you at the wedding. Hope we can see you again sometime. We do have a spare room here in So CA that will always be open to you and yours.
We are going to Greece – cruising the Greek isles in June/July with a couple of days in Istanbul. We won’t be near England this time around, but if you have any suggestions from your many travels that may have involved this part of the world, would love to hear them.

Hi Pat!
So kind of you to ask, I will know in about 6 more weeks. It takes that long for the bubbles to dissolve. I feel confident they will get it under control. But I get along pretty well, of course, I am anxious to get it sorted out. Thanks again for getting in touch.
Bob

MRSA and superbugs kill everywhere and yes the good solution is not to touch anything.
I am working for a French designer, he invented a door handle that you do not use with your hands. This way, contamination spread is limited.
We are working hard to make our product known as its not expensive and could save thousand of lives.
If you want to support us : join us on FB or Twitter : the handle is called the Ulna system.
Thanks in advance for your support !!!
