can you say " sponge Bath !!!!"

"Sponge bathing", sounds like someone wants to be bathed; but, doesn't want to pay for it. No wonder there's a shortage of nurses!

Bri on the terminal wing might give a whole new meaning to "happy ending" :joylove:

I took a trip to the ER last Friday (turned out ok) and they kept me overnight for observation. The staff were wearing leis. I correctly assumed that it was Hawaiian shirt Friday.

I will say that except for the difficulty in getting tests scheduled, once you are in a hospital room the outside world seems to be a little disconnected when it comes to days of the week. They even went so far as to write the day on a whiteboard on the wall at the foot of the hospital beds.

Without a newspaper, the only way to tell the day was to turn on the TV.

BTW, when one of my in-laws was sick, I had to give them a sponge bath (with a washcloth). It's not a lot of fun from the back of the sponge.

starvation time zones .....I guess. We should know what time it is there before we hit our next bag of chips? Who cares if they know the time. I should know the time with my golden arches. To some it is only today. Might be the day someone dies, maybe around dinner time.

I find it interesting, and perhaps a little scary that that tradition outlasted the Morning Zoo. Nikki Hoi.

(Our Outreach Department does that too. They have some very elaborate Hawaiian Shirts.)

Straight on the ignore list, of course.
