Emergency Bracelets (Lucy)

[Guest guest]

Lucy,

I wear a medic bracelet when I travel or am going to be away from family

and friends who are familiar with my medical " opportunities " and anytime I fly.

My son (he is 11) wears a necklace with the medical charm on it. It is

engraved with pancreatitis on the back. He tends to wear his everyday because

he

is still in public school, uses school buses for transportation, and is a

typical 11 yr old boy when he is not hurting too badly.

I, personally, get angry when I see the medic bracelet on my own arm every

day (denial issues, I'm sure~)....so it is only something I do when I feel " at

risk " in public.
