I wanted you know,
I love the way you laugh,
I want to hold you high and steal your pain away

(Broken - Seether)

Sometimes work just makes me sad, I know bad things happen to good people and all, but it still ends up getting you down a bit when ya hear about it so often.

On the lighter side, the lady who had the aneurism clipped seems to have decided that I am a good nurse also... heheh... the morning before last the nurses who were looking after her had to get a lifter to get her out of bed, then I used the lifter on a patient in one of our infectious rooms, so we had no extra slings left for the next patient. Well they wanted to get her back into bed from the chair, and they were talking about how they are going to manage it and trying to find an extra lifter sling, I just told em straight out that she is fine on her feet and that she can stand and get into bed. They didn't believe me. So I said, I'll just try and see if I can get her to do it. So i went and told her we were going to stand her up and get her into bed, took her hand and moved her forward in the chair, she stood up and transferred into her bed no worries. They just stared at me for like 5 minutes, it was hilarious. So of course the next morning when they couldn't get her to get out of bed or stand they had to call me. They had tried and couldn't even get her to stand, I went in there and said, c'mon lets get up and go, she gave me a really long suffering look, I told her that she could have a shower on the shower chair and that she would feel heaps better, took her hand and helped her up, then got her to stand and move to the other chair. Now they have told me I have to come in every day just to get this lady up, fortunately I just laughed and told em... NO WAAAAAY!

My first day off was a good one, apart from the fact that my headache is still there or back or whatever you wanna call it. K called me at 9am which woke me up way too much to go back to sleep, but oh well.
Anyways, I am off to relax some more
