This week spelled another week of drama for ole Mary
Last Saturday was horrible, HORRIBLE day at work. Litterally every fifteen minutes someone wanted on bedside toilet or on the bedpan. We had one lady with alzheimer's(bad enough because that in itself is a horrible disease process) that wanted on the bedside toilet constantly and then she'd forget why she wanted on there. So because I was dealing with her and others like her, none of my charting got done, so I had to work an extra hour and a half to get it all charted. Then Monday i drive an hour and a half to clinicals only to get told that clinicals were being cancelled so i had to turn right around and come back (so I wasnt happy about getting up at 3:45am to get ready and get there on time and then turn around and come back) so I come home and take a nap only to be awaken by my mother being hysterical. Wasnt out of the ordinary for her but she was going on about my sister's latest actions/sayings which did seem out of the ordinary so I told my mom to stop that and I'd go and see my sister (not expecting things to be half as bad as what my mom claimed). Well they were pretty bad, so we go to UK's ER for a psych evaluation regarding severe postpartum depression for her which we waited in there for 8 hours leaving at close to 1am for them to tell her that they dont have any beds for her at UK but she can go to the psych unit at a hospital in our hometown 2 hours away and she was expected to go there immediately. Well lucky for me, her friend had come up that afternoon to take the baby back to our hometown with her to take care of while my sister got treatment, so my sister just rode with her back to our hometown. But I had to get up 6 hours later to get ready for class, class again on thursday, I worked on the cardiac care unit on friday (whiel I was busy it was a welcome change from the week prior). I went to our hometown yesterday morning to see my sister and the baby and she's doing much better and the baby is doing well too so that's good. They will be releasing my sister sometime this week I think, though she wants to stay in our hometown rather than coming back here. Taht is basically my week in review
I went out with my friend Michelle on tuesday night because I needed to get out for a bit so that was enjoyable. Today has been enjoyable as well. My husband and I started the day off at a gun show, sold the handgun we wanted to sell, he bought an airgun, then we left and went to a farmer's market, washed my car, bougth a battery for his car, went to walmart, and then went to change the oil in mine. We then came home and piddled in our garden. We're just now pulling up our carrots and THEY ARE HUGE!!!!
Other than my two mile walk in the neighborhood today, that's pretty much it
Now that everything is off my chest I think I'll go and study some nursing stuff. Hope everyone is doing well
