[...] the bike blogs that I read on a regular basis. This morning, I noticed that Elden (aka Fatty) had posted something somewhat design related. Good post, but that is not the real reason why I want to link to his site today. Those of you who [...]

First of all, zip ties, like mechanical pencils, are made by God! lol

The bed remote made me think of when my Mom was home and we had the hospital bed in the house and the buttons weren’t even labeled (?). The headrest control button was simply put above the footrest button. She hit the wrong button all the time. The only ones who knew it by feel were the nurses.

Hell yeah, innovation is part applying tech readily available by the innovator, so rock on! ;-)

Oh my gosh, that remote sure would have come in handy when my sisters and I were caring for my dad. My dad’s bed was in the living room as well. My oldest sister went to perform a procedure on him and her knee hit the remote and he started going backward! Neither of them understood what was happening at first – my dad was looking at her like “what the heck?” She realized what was happening and got up. He said he thought he was going to end up in the neighbors yard. Every time I think of that I laugh out loud. Thanks for the memory, and for the great, innovative ideas should I ever need them again!
Best wishes as always to you and Susan and your wonderful family. You guys are all awesome.

You are so awesome. I’m sure Susan tells you that, but I thought I’d toss in another vote from afar.

What experience has lead you to believe that hospitals are run for the benefit of the patients? They are run by nurses, for nurses with the patients being a necessary evil ;-)
