Re: Sleeve to wear during surgery?

Last time I had surgery the doc let me wear my medicalert bracelet in recovery room. We had signs posted over my bed and on my chart. But I woke up all drowsy to find an IV in the wrong arm!!! They must have had to move the bracelet to stick me!
The sleeve is a great idea.
Keep the faith.
