My only day off this week is Wednesday people!!

So I'm off tomorrow, and since it's my only day off.... I've got a "to do" list about a friggin' mile long. I've made sure these things are all things that are for ME though! That way, I'm not bitter by the time I go back for work on Thursday. My plan of attack is.... 1. Mail the bills 2. Go to Talbot's and pay that bill since it's a secret one I have... and it's due tomorrow! 3. Return the scrubs to the uniform place and get a smaller size since the ones I got were hugemungus. 4. Get a new pair of either tennis shoes or nursing shoes since the pretty pink ones are not as comfortable as they were thought to have been. (the back up plan if I don't find any I like is to just get some expensive nice in-soles and put them in my pink ropers) 5. Go to the bank 6. Go to the doctor since I've been sick for the last week and it's in my chest now with coughing all night... boooo hooo 7. Take the squirrel to see Nanny McPhee or whatever the flip you call it at 2:30. (I'll get her out of school a little early to see it) 8. Watch Young and the Restless since I never get to see it now 9. Look into buying a new cell phone because the flip phone I have sucks with it's reception and I don't hear the tone of any of the rings.
So, that will about fill the day. I have to go to court on Monday to speak on behalf of the state of Texas against this bitch that assaulted me back in December. So, the only day off I have next week will be Monday... and I'll be in court. It'll be short and sweet though. It's not gonna take long to see that she is clearly a psycho that needs to be fined a lot of money and immediately placed in a behavioral health clinic. Maybe I could get some money out of it too.
Today was pretty filled to the gills with a variety of trauma's and drama queens. I've officially nominated Tuesdays as "Nursing Home Day". Over half of our patients were born sometime between 1912 and 1925. The others were major motor vehicle accidents including a pregnant woman who they got stable and then rushed to OB ICU.... (not a good sign) Then we had the 5 ambulances that came in all at the same time with one big family including 2 small children. This had been a major motor vehicle accident in which their vehicle had flipped over several times.
Then, there was the spitting HIV positive, mentally unstable (to say the least) patient. This dear heart came in after being gathered out of traffic from running around head butting a few cars and darting through the intersection causing near misses. (very clearly high out of her mind) This 115 pound winner took 12 EMT professionals and nurses to hold her down in order to get a line (IV) started on her and strap her down with the leather straps that they very rarely have to get out. She had already busted through the regular ones that normally do the trick. And, since she had been spitting at every nurse or Dr. that came near her.... they had to put a mask on her face. Well, she was very crafty with that one too. She found a way to work that sucker off of her face with her tongue...within 3 seconds! While it was impressive, it was hard to decide what to put over her face so as not to suffocate her. Because you know, we don't want to do that..... too much paperwork. he he he
After Ms. Busy was strapped down, she was then moved to a private room in the ER because she was also very vocal and at least this room had a door to muffle the screeches and such. In this room, they gave her a LARGE dose of a tranquilizer. A good one people! One that you don't get unless you're in the mental state that she was in. She was on Meth and Cocaine to begin with. Oh, and marijuana too. Well, the tranquilizer did nothing much at all. It may as well been sugar water. About 1 hour after being in that room, without warning or permission to go to the bathroom with an escort... she shit her pants. Well, her pants and the bed. So, the whole side of the ER in which she resided STUNK for a while since the nurses decided to let her sit in her own shit for a while. Well, you know... not on purpose of course, they were really very busy. It resembled the stinch of a dog or cat being in heat! It was that offensive! I could've done without that added bonus. Other than that, it was a great day full of lots of stuff to see and learn.
Please pray that the ones that went to ICU for one reason or another are doing well, and that the unborn baby made it! Oh, and the mother's ankle was COMPLETELY broken and hanging on basically by way of her ligaments and skin. So, after the surgery and pins that I'm sure they had to put in it... and physical therapy she'll have to indure... I pray she'll do well.
Good night.
