All facilities provide blankets for the patients. Depending on the facility, blankets may be kept in warming drawers that are a blessing. These are, of course, blankets that are thin cotton, industrial (hospital) type blankets that can be easily laundered and patients may have as many blankets as they need to keep wrapped. Quilts that are colorful, cheerful and distract from the procedure and surroundings are very welcome. These can be used alone or placed over the facility's blankets. Patients receiving chemo and/or blood transfusions may have to wait for the medication to be prepared or sent in from the facility's pharmacy or wait for a type/match on the blood. Blankets are available on request for the cold waiting room but it is much easier to have brought your own quilt. If anyone considers making a quilt, I would suggest a matching or coordinating tote bag with handles (the size of the reusable grocery totes) to carry the quilt. And I especially thank everyone who makes these. They were indeed a comfort for my husband.
