Some people have shoe polish or their favorite CD or snacks. I have that too - plus, extra underwear - thanks to anal cancer! Anyone else have extra underwear at work for "just in case"??? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

    If I were still working, I'd have every medical supply either in
    my office or in my locker. While still working I kept a nebulizer with necessary meds in my locker and if needed, I would use it on tge clock. If I were working now, I'd have extra underwear, pants, Depends, colostomy supplies (including gauge pads, gloves, adhesive remover) and whatever I felt I might need......nothing wrong with always being prepared....steve

    PS: Many years ago I used to keep protein powder in an unmarked container in my office (along with tons of vitamins, supplements etc which no one ever had the temerity to touch)til some idiot thought it was hand soap-(his hand impression was left in the bag of powder)
