This was at about 1pm in the afternoon. Normally all seats are full and people walking/standing in this hallway.

Thanks for the memories. My discharge was on March 8 with final visit on March 9, the day Ohio closed down. That day was eerily creepy b/c of the lack of people. No wait at the lab. But...nothing like that.

Crazy how people from different parts of the world are familiar with J-4/J-5 🥰.

How great is that? Reading through the list reminds me, there was nothing better than chest tube removals!

I agree Catie B. What a relief that was.

Note the "clinical trial" language at the top. We'll see if this gets legs or not. It was pretty cool. At extubation it was a Godsend.

Ahh. I missed that it's a trial. Hope it'll be a keeper!

ANY tube removal is WONDERFUL!!! I especially enjoyed the removal of the one in my neck!

A quick trip to Cleveland/Believeland ended well. Back home in Michigan waiting for summer to start!
