Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 Hi I would guess you would not need a fan unless you usually sleep with one every night. Some folks like to have a fan going all the time when they sleep. Also, it was in the 70's and beautiful here today and looks to stay the same in the near future. It gets chilly at night so bring a jacket, but hopefully you will not need a heavy coat. I haven't worn my coat since the snow in Jan. If you need anything, please ask away. I am going to try and make it to the clinic on March 11th, so I hope to see you there. in Raleigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air should MOVE!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 The only thing I recommend packing is a couple of cotton balls for your ears! That overhead speaker has to go! You're only there for one night, in most recent cases, and it's not worth bringing much. You can't wear your jammies or a robe(because of the I.V.). Just bring your clothes you're going to wear home. I do recommend filling out the consent forms in the manual. Especially the one where you have to write a sentence summary of each paragraph! It won't be valid to hand that in,but will serve as a guide when you're filling out the " real one " . I found there were many distractions as I tried to fill that out and I was already nervous to boot. Just an idea- in Cincinnati MGB 2/21/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
