Top 10 List Additions

From various parents after being inspired by Margo's List:

  • You carry a tube of Emla (skin numbing lotion) in your purse instead a tube of lipstick.
  • Kids with hair look kind of strange to you.
  • You can sleep anywhere, and anything that reclines more than 15 degrees looks "comfy."
  • You don't realize the sharps (syringe) container is on the kitchen table until halfway through dinner.
  • You enjoy the drive at 3:00am to emergency because there aren't any other cars on the freeway.
  • Your child's first word is a medical term.
  • Your child's bedroom looks like a Toys R Us store.
  • You have a syringe in your purse and you're not a diabetic .
  • You start teaching your daughter the parts of her body, you point to her chest and she says that's her port.
  • Your kid won't let YOU touch anything in a public restroom.
  • You don't have to give your name at the local pharmacy counter, they just say hi and grab the meds.
  • You keep completed copies of each department's intake forms in your purse to save time. Just date and sign.
  • You know more about nurses holidays and vacations than your immediate family.
