A Major disaster!  I dropped my DVD Player and it smashed the screen.  So on Tuesday I do not know what I am going to do on Dialysis. I Have not had a chance to get a new one. Looks like its going to be a boring Day. TV crap, Then to make it worse, the Bloody patients started singing on Saturday. But this lot try to sing every time on dialysis. Think I might take the plug of the CD Player, that should stop them. Just give me the gun ;D

Sorry about your DVD player.  That would really stink.  I come loaded down with entertainment options.  Besides a DVD player, I have a book or magazine, an MP3 player for music or podcasts of talk radio, and even a handheld Yahtzee game.  A portable CD player is great as well.  If you have the ability to burn CD's on a computer, get a portable CD player that can read MP3 discs and you can carry hundreds of songs on one disc.  I got closed-back headphones which help block external noise.  It's almost like moving day every time I go to dialysis!

BTW, at our unit, there's one nurse who loves to sing.  She's also susceptible to "ear worms", or gettting songs stuck in her head.  I love to plant obnoxious ear worms in her brain.

I know how you feel.  A Tech knocked mine off the "poor" excuse they call for a table and Broke it too.  I replaced it.  Maybe borrow one of the "older" patients SUDKU games.   >:D

Well, coincidently the video card was going out and all it did when she knocked it off was break the clasp that shut the screen down to the base.  So I took it back because of the video card and I got a new one.

BUT....if she had broken it, I would not expect her to pay for it.  PLUS she probably wouldn't.  Do you think the Clinic would pay for it.  NO.... plus they would make a new rule "NO DVD players during dialysis.   :thumbdown;
