Hey, nice find Barbara! ever so enabling
I found my list of 'available when sitting in a hospital' rune material ideas:
You'd need to make someone at the nurses station your new best friend so you can borrow a permanent marker to draw the sigils.
paper tape around cotton balls
sterile wipe packets
plastic spoon bowls
Styrofoam cup bottoms
or the lids
bottle caps
sugar/seasoning packets
backs of blister packs
And there were acres of found objects that would make a good oracle
edited to add: I found this pattern for crocheted runes at Llewellyn.
