Yellow gown, face mask and green gloves: Tori's isolation

Janine's comment prompted me to write something up quickly about the whole isolation thing...

After spending nearly 8 hours in Tori's room yesterday - the yellow gown, face mask and green gloves: not cool :-) .

First of all, you look ridiculous (granted I should be used to it).

Secondly: it's hot and uncomfortable. The first thing to come off is the face mask. You are only obligated to wear it when you are within 3 feet of Tori. The gloves are more bearable but after one hour or so, you need a new pair.

The isolation is not so much to protect us or Tori but to protect the other patients from developing the same infection.

I almost forgot, if you didn't think that my first statement was true: this is pretty much what you look like to Tori when in her room right now: click here.

Finally, I would like to say that Tori and I would have loved to be with you all last night. But they didn't have enough gowns for everybody...

Take care,
