Good idea Sheila, I saw some free ones last year and sent for them. Didn't realize they were plastic and I cannot wear anything plastic. I do wear an ID stainless steel bracelet. The lab told me every patient should wear an ID bracelet or pendant at all times in case we are in an accident and cannot talk. I told them I wear a sleeve and that should do it. They said and also a friend of mine that works EMS said the same thing when they respond to an accident the first thing they look for is an ID pendant or bracelet. As for the sleeve that is just another piece of clothing. I have a friend who refuses to wear any ID and says she will just let the lab know not to use that arm. Well, she sees the doc and has lab once a year. The last time she forgot until the lab had already done her blood and then it was too late. They used that arm. For me I am comfortable wearing an ID bracelet especially where I already have lymphedema. I got my ID bracelet from one of those gift catalogs and it cost $7.99. Have purchased extras to give to my friends. They are nice looking to wear. People have asked me who have one from the jewelry store where I got such a nice looking bracelet. hugs, Sandy
