Hi All,
Following on from KOKO's post yesterday, in the Uk you can request a hospital bag from Parkinson's uk , i found this to be a graet help for myself last week when i was admotted to hospital not only did it bring attention to our plight in hospitals re : getting our meds on time, it also servrd as a great way of letting medical staff know that we have to have our meds on time all the time.
if i did not have my own meds and bag it would have been a difficult week for me , as the med round on the ward was at 10.30 am and my first med is at 7am, at one point a nurse wanted to take my meds off me , however i explaind t her that as i self medicate i would not allow her to take my bag,
we in the uk are fortunate to have Parkinson's uk support at the touch of a mouse , Parkinson's uk are fantastic with the support and information they supply to us via Web and hard copy.
Regards
Al
Ps i will try to post a pic of the bag , you can request this and it is free from Parkinson's uk website
