Title: Halloween costume ideas?
Post by: KatieV on October 28, 2013, 08:03:54 AM

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it doesn't go in Off Topic since I'm mentioning dialysis...

We are allowed to dress up for Halloween at work.  I want to go as a dialysis patient to educate people about donation.  I have a Donate Life t-shirt that I'll wear.  I was thinking of taping buttonholes needles to my sleeve (securely capped), possibly filling the needles with red colored water.  Maybe a blood pressure cuff on the other arm?  And wearing medical gloves.  I can't wear a mask as one of my primary tasks is talkiing on the phone.

Any ideas to make my costume great?  It seems appropriate as Halloween is exactly 2 years since I started dialysis.  Plus I want to bring donation to everyone's attention.

Maybe a tiny kids sippy cup to limit your fluids?

Put 20 or so medicine bottles on your desk.
