after eight years, I finally updated my huge Historical Fashion Reference & Resources Doc! Now in the form of a MUCH more easily updated Google Doc with better organization, refreshed links, and five more pages of books and online resources.

Some parts of the hospital aren't all bad. The nurse shows up every 4 hours like she has an alarm to bring the pain meds. It's a mixed bag, tho. Sometimes you are sleeping, and the 3 am blood draws come with super bright lights.

I've started calling the hour after I take the pain meds, "easy mode" anything that involves moving should be done then.

The beds sit up for you 9/10- highly recommend.

The blankets all come out of a warmer- so they ate always toasty. The nurses have stellar blanket strategies. 8/10 - will try at home.
