My center wrapped up a Fresenius Bag for us!
-
We got one of those a week ago, too! :thumbup;
-
Ditto the bag here.
One back pack sort of strap. I wonder of the 10 y.o. will use it for a book bag at school?
I haven't gone to school in a long time. No plans to go, that I know of.
Lie. I go pick up the Kid sometimes. lol
-
Last year they gave us a pashmina shawl/scarf and this year a neck pillow.
-
Zip unless you count the sugar cookies they set out. ???
-
Me zip too, 5 years in a row.
:rant;

Fresenius had a bowl of hard candies set out yesterday. A couple are still in my shirt pocket.

quite nice actually and totally unexpected

A box of renal friendly food
Real considerate, very sweet of them, I'm jealous :laugh:
-
Wow! A box of renal friendly food with instructions! That's such a GREAT idea!
What a perfect example of teaching us how to eat. Of course there would 'some assembly required'. I might have a problem with that. Being a 'Guy' I don't always read directions!
I have a constant problem wondering what I should and more likely should NOT eat now on Hemo.
Most likely, if I like it, I shouldn't have it.

A Fresinius lunch bag, containing a roast beef sandwich a bottle of Poland springs water and two large sugar cookies. The sandwich was great and so were the sugar cookies.
-
I'd have to chuckle if the lunch came with a little bag with a couple of Binders in it.
That would be one way to reminds us all to take them. Then again, I have to wonder if everyone needs them.

Two logistical problems:
- Each patient needs a medical order, and there are numerous different binders.
- When the clinic administers a med, it needs to be recorded and charted
-
We gave out lunchboxes and candy canes. The doctors gave each patient a $10 gift card to Walmart for patients who live at home and a blanket to nursing home patients. We also had a meal prepared by a local restaurant that we give out; turkey, dressing, green beans, cake, rolls and a small helping have mac and cheese (we remind them that this is a treat at to take binders). I still have patients complain that they get the same things every year and that a $10 gift card isn't much. They don't realize that comes out of the doctors' pockets. Some people are never satisfied, I guess!

My DaVita center gave a lunch of a wrap, juice, and probably something else, plus a pair of socks.
Also a Box of about 8 different renal friendly "potato chip" like crisps and the like. They were good and would have been provided by the vendor (I assume) for marketing purposes. Most were some sort of "popped" like product in the shape of a chip of various flavors.
-
Vinyl insulated lunchbox from FMC, plus they have snacks in the waiting room during Xmas week (only saw that one day when picking up a mailing label for my labs, since I am a home hemo patient).

We got a little bag of candy, most of it not renal friendly.. *G*
a couple of years ago, the renal social worker went around to everyone in the unit, giving each of them a Kidney Foundation blanket.. she explained that the blankets were from a patient who died a few months earlier... he knew he was dying, and gave the money to the social worker for these blankets in the week before he died... I treasure that blanket, and I think of him every time I use it... he was a very nice man, though, we took great pleasure in antagonizing each other. It was all in fun.. he would tease me about my PJ pants, which had the logo for the Montreal Canadians all over them, telling the nurses that they should "accidentally" spill bleach on them.. and we threw barbs at each other all the time..

At my DaVita clinic, we got a very nice, very small wide-mouth water bottle (12 oz) with some renal-friendly candy packets inside. It was wrapped in penguin paper with a bow!
It was really sweet.
We also got some candy and a neat pencil on Halloween.
