Learning How To Live Life

If any one is wondering how my day is going, some patient decided to throw up on the sidewalk outside the entrance to the unit.

Could've had a barf bag but noooooo let's puke where ppl can step in it and not tell anyone to get it cleaned up. Grr!

I hate when ppl do that! It's so incredibly rude!
 

I don't think people "decide" to throw up. Yuck. And a barf bag may not be available.

Cleaning it up, however, is certainly not pleasant. If it's outside, wouldn't that be maintenance or as we called them, plant and engineering dept?

He had a bag in his hand. He still chose the sidewalk outside the door. His friend didn't bother to tell anyone so we could clean it up.

And depending on certain circumstances yes it's a maintenance call. If it's not bad then it's me.

I chased a fella around waiting room for 45 min one night cuz he was bleeding and wouldn't sit still and was getting it everywhere.

He then got blood all over my freshly cleaned bathroom. Then got smart mouth with me when I asked nicely to stay put. One of the other patients told him he'd best do what I asked.

I guess the look on my face told him he was on thin ice. LOL

I know and I agree with marci, that It's an extremely tough place to work.!!
And some of the people who could make it a bit easier , instead make it harder.
Some can't help it, but some can.

That's funny, and also good help, that one patient told the other patient, to follow instructions. 😊😁
 
@Kaila no it didn't freeze. It's supposed to get to 60 today.

Doc and I had a good talk today and he's sending over a script for Buspar to the pharmacy. He's labeling it 1 pill twice daily but, I will be able to split it in half or take a whole pill only as needed if I wish to. He said typically it's not taken that way but he has other patients with anxiety that do that and he said if it works he's ok with it. Also said the Buspar is less of a breathing issue than the others so I will be ok. I told him I was gonna finish the valium before I start on the other and he said that was ok too. ☺️

He said once we get things more settled down for me we could take a look at my sinus problem and see what's up with that. That will be a project for the new year. There's also some respiratory crap going around at work so IDK.

None of us that work in hospitals and deal with certain types of patients are saints. Some days we wanna strangle people just like anyone else when people act like turds. Some can't help it but some know better and still choose to be like that. I wish I could say we were all hearts and flowers with patients but we have bad days too.

So the last time I played Fortnite, I was shooting at a person and they were taking absolutely no damage. Then they killed me. So I got to looking online and discovered other people are having the same issues. They were saying they think Epic knows about all this cheating and they can't seem to get it under control so they no longer give a crap. I tend to agree. I have never seen so much cheating in my life. That's why I quit playing. Who wants to play a game where others are too s****y to use their own skills and have to cheat to win?

And it's not just Fortnite, it's all the shooter games. They're just no fun anymore. I can't wait to get off work tonight and go island looting for more Animal Crossing stuff. I'm gonna do my best to design my island in pink and white. I saw where someone made a Monopoly game board around their Resident Services building. So cool. I had started on an Alice in Wonderland island but never finished. Maybe I can try again after this one.
 
That is good to hear that you had good communication with your doctor!!!
wow. I'm glad.
It sounded like responsive and helpful, and even flexible and supportive to your needs, both short-term and longer.
gosh, why am i shocked at such behavior from the doctor? 😄 :sneaky: :giggle:

Yeah especially coming from this one who spent an hr and half accusing me of being non compliant and b******g at me just a few months ago.
 
Having some coffee and hangin around waitin to chit chat with some folks on here. Last night one of the docs was giving out little gift packs from her church with tea and cocoa and mints and a candy cane. She gave me one. Then this morning sometime the guy that I ride to work with texted me a Merry Christmas message. That will be it for me for Christmas.

I am planning to bake one of my chicken pot pies here in a bit and since I don't have to share that cream pie I'm not gonna bother with a plate. All I need is a fork. 😋😏

I bought an adapter for the Chromebook to hook up to the HDMI port to cast from it to the new tv. Gonna try it and see if I can cast some black and white Christmas movies onto it today. Later I will likely do some gaming. I do need to get the dishes in the sink done. I might dig into Stardew Valley on my Xbox or Disney Dreamlight Valley. Not sure yet. I have that tin of popcorn for movie watching too.
 
Last night we had a trauma come in that was pretty bloody. After they took the patient to ICU, the tech was in trying to get things cleaned up and I headed in to start deep cleaning cuz of all the blood. Even one of the security guards was in helping us girls. Thought that was nice of him.

I told them to leave the bed alone and I would tend to it cuz I could see it needed to be gone over good. The guy in the trauma room next to that one came in with a collapsed lung and damn near died on them. What an awful way to spend your holiday. I'm lucky my worst problem is being depressed.
 
today i was getting my seabond out so i could put my choppas in so i could eat my food and i noticed once again they only sent 29 of the denture seals and i'm paying for 30. so i found the website and submitted a complaint. what the hell am i supposed to do with the one damn seal left? only put in my uppers?
 
well, i'm going to open up a little here since i consider you guys family.

back in the early 2000s i had a miscarriage. the only child i ever would've had. i lost her because of a cyst i had growing on the back of my uterus that nobody knew anything about til a few years later. i lost her on the 2nd of december i believe. then fast forward to 2021 december 4th...lost my mother to covid.

after 50+ years of verbal and emotional abuse from the parents and a brother who has held a grudge against me his entire life over a damned barbie doll, i've tried to make nice and get along and spend time with the family to no avail. when mom passed things went from bad to worse.

all of the family (except father) quit talking to me because i wasn't there when she died which wasn't possible because i was at work and had no way to get there. plus it would've been too late. then i didn't go to the funeral due to the mental state that i was in at the time.

father decided after 56 yrs he suddenly wanted a relationship with me but only because he was lonely and had no one to mistreat and fight with. he would make very hurtful remarks that made me feel like i was just a piece of s**t. the fighting started. more hateful remarks sprinkled with comments meant to belittle me over things i did as a child.

i finally was forced to go no contact with him cuz i couldn't take it anymore.

i've tried over the years to make friends and they are my friends for a little while then everyone ghosts me. i don't get phone calls or cards or messages from anyone in real life except from an occasional coworker or two that messages me sometimes just to say hi or check on me.

i get no company at the house and i quit posting on facebook to see if my real life "friends" would even post to see how i am doing. nothing. so christmas is hard for me because i feel like no one loves or cares about me at all. like maybe they never did to begin with. i lost the 2 people i loved the most in the world in the month of december.

so this time of year i get depressed and shut down a lot because i don't know any other way to cope with it. the only people in my life are all on the other side of this computer screen that i sit in front of. so that's my story. i hate the holidays and i hate when people tell me i need to go try to make some new friends. it's just not gonna happen.

the conversations and laughs i share with you all on here bring me great joy.
