Linda's Magic Workshop - Linda Britt Design

I’m starting off the New Year with a new knee!   There is not a good time to have a total knee replacement so I opted for a winter recovery!  Here are a few things I've learned during the process: Hospital gowns in the operating room can be warm!  It had been a long time since I was in surgery and I have to tell you that the warm air (temp controlled) hospital gowns are wonderful.  http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/IPD-NA/3M-Infection-Prevention/products/catalog/~/Infection-Prevention-Products/Forced-Air-Warming-Gowns?N=7570551&rt=c3 After surgery, I had a reaction to a medicine and threw up.  That’s not so uncommon, I know, but the long plastic pocket they gave me to use was so much better that a pan!  Especially in the physical therapy room!  http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/IPD-NA/3M-Infection-Prevention/products/catalog/~/Infection-Prevention-Products/Forced-Air-Warming-Gowns?N=7570551&rt=c3 There ...
