After 5 days stuck in hospital room tethered to a drip pump with a 2 m radius i think i have the solution to my mystery.
The bathroom door has two hooks. One labelled haut, the other bas. And i am given two gant de toilette.
So one is for washing the top half of your body and other for the bottom and then you place them on their appropriate hook. Duh!
But perhaps of use to others who find themselves in a similar situation.
Except i can’t add my dramatic photo!
Trouble is, now you’ll have to search for another mystery to solve!
Hope you escape soon.
I sincerely hope your problems are solved with the same logic x
Speedy recovery Jane!
Glad you are having fun Jane, even when tethered to your pump. Get well soon.
At hospital at Poughkeepsie, NY, where I was in ICU under obs after a ‘nervy turn’ [inexplicably blacking out for a few mins] they had a cunning ploy to identify ‘escapees’.
Everyone wore socks, even in bed. Socks were either blue or yellow. A yellow sockist was not allowed out of bed. Blue socks - allowed to walk the ward. So anyone wearing yellow socks seen padding about the ward was rounded up and returned to bed.
Unfortunately my room mate George, for whatever the reason he was in ICU, also had Altzheimers. He was always making a break for it, getting out of bed at all hours and going walkabout.
Not only did his yellow socks give him away but his bed had an alarm which went off when he got out. Not only were my nights disturbed on the hour/ first 24 hrs for ‘vital signs’ but George setting off his alarm and the subsequent palaver of a nurse getting him back to bed. Being hooked up to a saline drip was the least of my problems.
In the end, despite every test known to medical science, including cardioscopy and a visitation from the trick-cyclist, they could find nothing wrong with me.
First time I’d ever been to the USA, after many visits, with medical ins.
Hate being tied to pumps or drains.
Get home soon.
