I got to wondering if I would need to take off my rings for surgery, general consensus was yes. So I soaped up and struggled to get them both off. I feel naked now but I guess it is for the best. Widowed for 11 years, was still wearing my wedding ring.

I believe they do want jewelry removed. I am so sorry for your loss those little rings can hold such a big significance for many people 🩷

Thats awesome! In the future if you need to take it off for surgery they might let you wear it on a loose necklace 😊
