MEDICAL ID TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR 2024


On the advice of my doctor, we ordered a couple of things that I will need to keep with me.


One is this pendant.  I can always have it on in case I miss the bracelet and it is to let an EMT or hospital ER know that I'm a prior heart attack patient and have stents.  The back will say that I'm on blood thinners as well as "in case of emergency" info.


Then 2nd Man ordered this for me.  It is filled in with my name, heart issues, stents, blood thinners and I'll have my blood type on there as well as 2nd Man's contact info in case of emergency.

It's a whole new world to learn.  I even have a card that I must carry in my wallet behind my drivers license (that's where EMT's will look for it) that shows the type of stents I have and their location.


Not the way I thought I'd ring in 2024 but, hey, I'm here and that's all that matters!

Here's to a healthy and happy New Year for all of us!

  2. Doesn't everyone love getting jewelry for Christmas?💍 Perhaps not this kind of jewelry, but you have to admit, it will all be a keeper!
    Don't leave home without it!
    I think 🤔 it's going to be a very interesting year!

    1. I never thought about it, that's right, jewelry! ha!! I've already got the neck chain one, wearing it now. The bracelet comes in a few more days. Yes, 2024 should be interesting for sure.

    1. It's a weird feeling going from never remotely thinking about it to having all of it to do but it's part of the process I suppose.

  4. I have been meaning to get an ID bracelet, but never have, so I suppose I should get three items.

    1. They sell them everywhere now it seems. I got the necklace thing from amazon, it was the one I liked best and then bracelet is actually coming from overseas but again, it was a style I liked. Get one if you need it, it just might save your life someday.

  5. Your new “dog tag” items were probably not the most exciting Christmas presents but at least you are here to receive them - the best gift of all!
    Wishing you, 2nd Man, and Hobart a wonderful New Year of good health, peace, laughter, and much happiness!

  6. I would think that second man would have picked it up at Tiffany’s. That way you’d have a little bling with your jewelry.

  7. Thank you for posting this info. Hubs had TAVR procedure 6 years ago, I told him about EMT looking behind DL so he moved his TAvR registration. Best wishes for quick and full recovery! Deb
