EDC Backpack Update:

Today updated my paperwork to include the results of my most recent rounds of testing. There's a chance that I could deliver at one of a few hospitals that aren't one of the two that are coordinating my care. I'd rather hand them a folder of reports then have them try to track them down, so I'm carrying copies of the most relevant stuff. Not to mention that dual-care means having to sometimes upate one of my primary care physicians about what happened with the other one.

I added a toiletries bag including travel sized toothpaste, toothbrush, floss sticks, deodarant, hand sanitier, some hair elastics and lip balm. I also added some post-delivery pads/unders. Thanks for the reminder dougwalkabout!

I removed the mylar blanket because as I was repacking my FAK, I realized that it has a 1 person Heatsheets in it already. It had hand sanitzier in it as well, which I removed in light of the new bottle in the toiletries kit and the santizing wipes in the FAK. I almost kept both in in case of emergency child birth. I might rethink that. They're small and weigh little.

I also found the microPUR tabs I stashed in the FAK, so took getting more off my To Do List. (Forgotten Heatsheets, purelle and H2O tabs. This is why I need to write things down.)

I also realized that I hadn't migrated a headlamp back into this bag so I fixed that by adding my Petzl eLite. Love that light! Hands-free is the way to go when you weigh 800 pounds, have no balance and are potentially dealing with dark and slippy conditions.

I'm going to grab a couple of N95 masks today as well. Been thinking about the subway closure a few trips ago. Escaping a smoke filled building or transit tunnel is a distinct possibilty and even though I have my bandana, I'd feel better with a proper mask.

It gets a little cramped in there if I add my jacket and e-reader but from the looks of the weather forecast, I'll be wearing my jacket most of the time from here on out until I switch over to a winter coat. I can always sling it though the shoulder straps when I'm inside.
