I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

A pixel 6 pro phone case fits perfectly over the base plate for things like light switches.

The call nurse button here has a constant bright blue light that's very distracting. The room is almost dark with my phone case over it

Modern solutions for modern problems!

How about the noise? Is the place quiet overnight at least?

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

The air conditioner can make some noise but it's pretty quiet otherwise.

And that's also a compliment to the nurses working here and how good they are at their jobs. This place is full of kids who have trouble sleeping and I've hardly heard other kids crying

Are things going OK?

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Tonight went well. I think we'll be in for some better nights overall if we keep up the things we're doing here.

But we also have 3am tonight to deal with, so we'll see how that goes

I get you. When I’ve had to take Boyo to emergency I’ve been driven bonkers by lights and machines that go ping! And I wasn’t even the ill person. How anybody ever manages to sleep wth that much crap taped to them baffles me.

From experience: you generally don't. And if you do manage to fall asleep, they wake you up for rounds.

Cover it with blue tack also works.

I'll need to keep that in mind for the next stay we do. Unfortunately I don't have any handy in the baby bag
