JUST THOUGHT I'D PASS THIS PIECE OF INFO ALONG . A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A NURSE,TOLD ME
THAT IF YOU DRESS WITH NO METAL OR PLASTIC ON YOUR BODY YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE INTO A
HOSPITAL GOWN AT ALL.I HAVE NOT HAD TO CHANGE MY CLOTHES IN 4 YEARS.I WEAR ELASTIC WAIST YOGA PANTS,CAN BE DRAW STRING IF NO METAL GROMMETS( CUT OFF PLASTIC ENDS)A PULL ON SPORTS BRA,AND A PULLOVER TEE OR SWEATSHIRT.NO BUTTONS, ZIPPERS OR SNAPS. NO METALLIC THREADS. WHEN I GO IN I JUST TELL THEM I DRESSED LIKE THAT AND THEY SAY FINE .THEN I SCAN AND GO.ONLY ONCE DID ANYONE GIVE ME A HARD TIME.THEY WENT TO ASK THE TECHNICIAN WHO SAID THAT WAS FINE,AND I GOT MY WAY.SHOES DON'T MATTER UNLESS ITS AN MRI.I HATE HATE HATE HATE HOSPITAL GOWNS!!!!!
GOD BLESS,
KATE

    Gowns
    The only reason I like going to the hospital,
    is to wear that gown. It's the only chance I
    ever get, of exposing my butt in public and
    not having to go to jail over it.





    Happy turkey day.
