'How shall the burial rite be read? The solemn song be sung! The requiem for the loveliest dead, that ever died so young?"

Kewl! That's great! :-)

Thanks Lynn!
While scrolling I've now seen your link and will certainly using the pics to design my foster sons brand new bed! I'm thrilled!
:)

While surfing the net for an 'adult sized' crib, for my 5 year old foster son, this pic is all I can find...
The traditional medical beds, the sides are too low. He's able to sit up, lean over and fall out.
But I do get some good idea's for the carpenter! That's all the matters right? He's gets the beautfiul bed that I envision. :)

It looks like it may have had wheels at some point...I don't think examination tables often have wheels? (I may be completely off there). Its also in a room full of other beds...although we know we can't necessarily go by common sense in these places (there have been some odd things put in odd places!) I guess I will assume that it was a bed.

It just looks like a regular hospital bed that's been raised fully at both ends. I doubt if both the leg and head supports would have been extended at the same time when it was occupied, and the lack of a mattress makes it look pretty weird too.

You can see the handles that are connected to a long pole with a thread on the end... before the days of hydraulics and power assistance I suspect (poor nurses!)

The metalwork nearest the camera does look scarily like stirrups... but I think they're just mounts for the wooden baseboard which has fallen off.

Sorry to be a kill-joy lol!

How the hell do you not get totally freaked going into these places? Do you go by yourself? Great shots totally creepy.

The purple tube looks like a Vacutainer tube. Since the place was shut down in 1991, they probably would have had those by then.

Actually, we still use flouroscopy in the hospital all the time. A major difference is that our modern flouroscopes tend to emit less radiation because you can use it for literally seconds at a time, instead of leaving it on.

Lynne.

well my son is coming along good.. we just had his centeral line removed this week... and last feb (he was born on the 14th :) ) he started pre-school at age 3. he gets vision, PT, OT,Speach, 2 Sped Ed teachers.. thats from the school and then we also take him to PT,OT and speach (private clinics) he gets home schooling due to his still suppresed immune system

its sorta like someone hit the reset button on him, he is about a year to 18 months behind his age group.. but he is learning quickly... the only thing slowing his process down is that he is blind..

Hey, at least there's a heater in the ceiling!!

Quest, i've been to most of the mansions in Newports, and none have a bowling alley in them. That's just odd.

Someone else who doesn't read through threads before posting to them.

I hope you're being ironic Mark... though I'm not too sure...

well y'know it's fine, if they didn't like being publicly bathed then they could just be beaten up and deprived of food. after all they did only have their patients best interests at heart ey!

Floats the boat, Hehe!
