Pedro put his paw on the keyboard

After he put his paw on the keyboard he pushed it off the desk. He lost the discussion I was almost ready to post. I do not really want to start over on that one. Basically I was asking why the hospital was kept so cold, with patients in flimsy cotton gowns and also how is Bob's hemoglobin supposed to come up when they are constantly drawing blood for labs. I imagine that Monday he will be asked to draw labs again, to see how he did over the weekend. I guess I had better cook him some beef and then make sure he eats other iron rich foods. Gonna see if I can post this one before Pedro does more of his tricks. He is right here. Pedro says "Hi"

I think their excuse is it keeps germs down in a cooler environment. Pedro probably wants more discussions written about him!

Entirely possible on both counts.

Hi Pedro. From what I understand, the colder air keeps bacteria from flourishing...at least that's what I've heard. I don't know about the blood draws.

That is the only reason I could think of. Almost all the workers wear long sleeve shirts under their scrubs and some also have light jackets. Bob was glad to take warm blankets any time.

Naughty Pedro. Nick knows just where to stand to not interrupt mommy's computering.

Cats can be so inquisitive sometimes. I hope his tests are good this next time.

Hi Pedro The hospital thing When Yvonne was in hospital, the ward was so cold patients complained about it Gale force winds, open windows It was a bit surreal seeing older people shivering in hospital beds

Pedro loves you and is keen to get your attention! Oh no, Pedro is me in cat form! Just kidding. I never noticed hospitals were so cold, but that’s probably because I’m almost always hot. I guess I finally found the ideal place for me to live…the hospital.

It's been 6 years since I was last in a hospital, I feel lucky that it wasn't all that cold in there at the time.

Another good reason not to let a cat move in with us. Pretty would sure like to have a kitty roommate, though. I'm always comfortable in hospitals but Pretty complains she's cold. I'm usually too warm when she's comfortable. Hello, Pedro!

Bad Pedro. Mommy worked hard on that post. Have you been talking to George horse? He will get you in trouble Our hospital has went to mostly private rooms and they will turn the temperature up if you ask. That is very nice.

I'm sure Pedro is sorry he knocked your keyboard off the desk and lost your post. Hi Pedro!! I don't know why hospitals are so cold either. Maybe for all the machines they have going they need to be in a cool atmosphere.? I'm sure Bob will appreciate you bringing him some beef and iron rich foods. I hope his labs show an increase in his hemoglobin.

I’m my Pedro and know how frustrating that can be. I truly don’t understand why hospitals are kept so cold either. My teeth chatter if it’s too cold, but they are quick to bring me a heated blanket. Iron rich food and beef would be terrific for Bob.

Was Pedro trying to get you to go to bed? I suppose he thinks he's helping.

I asked one of the doctors during son’s last hospital stay why it had to be so cold in there. I heard all sorts of excuses, supposedly better for the patients, etc.I never,ever go to the hospital with him that I don’t take a sweater or a warm hoodie. Sitting in a cold room isn’t fun!! Pedro may have been wanting to send a message to a kitty friend? With cats,you just never know what they are up to!
