Have I ever told y'all that you are the best bunch of girlfriends a girl could have? Well if not, I'm telling you now!! Thanks for all the worries and thoughts re: me making it home safely!
The roads were ok, but when I got to my neighborhood--
I was driving in snow ruts. The snow is piled so high --unbelieveable! I was so tired...I had to pull into my neighbors driveway because mine is shut with so much snow. I retrieved Watson and then began to shovel walkway/steps. It took me awhile to do that. Then I took one long look at the driveway and said NO WAY--not with my neck issues and not so long ago surgery. I did not want to undo any thing the surgeon worked so hard to fix. So I started to make phone calls. Someone is supposed to come tomorrow and give me an estimate on plowing the driveway. I then went in and crashed...woke up to find my blue tooth on the floor all chewed up.
Can't leave him alone and unsupervised for one hot NY minute.
LACE, wish your SIL lived close to me!! Good for him for being so resourceful. Did you have the chat with the surgeon yet!?!? Yes, both Queen Latifa and Carrie's singing were off!!
Yes, Annie talked me into staying at the hospital--I had an awful assignment. My one pt was hallucinating that we were going to take back the transplanted heart we had just given him. The other one pulled out his arterial line that we measure blood pressures with. I really needed that line because he was on 3 vasopressors (IV drips that keep your blood pressure stable--will increased the pressures) and one that I was titrating. By this time it's 2 am , I still had not charted my 12's or my 2's. My car pool buddy is next to me with ONE pt only, sitting on the computer, playing on FB!! I was so
I said "Are you playing on FB?" ...she said "yes, I am" real sarcastic! I said "get the H off and come help me...I am running my azz off between these 2 pt's while you are just sitting there!" I made her help the doctor put in a new arterial line while I caught up on vitals/charting/meds for both pt's. SOME people should never have a SINGLE pt because they do not help unless prodded. She is lucky we didn't drive together because I would have had a nice little chat with her.
Jody...that is a great list to be grateful for! So sorry to hear about your nephew and what that means for you.
I agree with you re: our dogs! My dog would bark like crazy at an intruder but as soon as they bent down to pet him, he would start wagging his tail and licking their hands!!
Colds are hard to treat! Fluids and rest girl! They have these hard candies called "COLD-EZE"....you suck on them like a cough drop. I found that my cold symptoms do actually ease up with them. Check them out--tell me what you think.
Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl? I started out rooting for the Colts, but I think I am going to change to the Saints. They've never won a SB title before. WOO HOO--the Saints are on the board with 3 points!!
ANNE: Did the kids make a snowman or snow angels!?!? I loved doing that when I was a kid.
JOY: I am off until Tues night. How are the cookies and cervasas tonight?!?! Are you watching the SB?
BARB: How is your headache? Hope it went away. I saw those awful mudslides on TV last night--Good Lord.
STOY Hey girl--glad you are enjoying CO and getting things unpacked. Hope you got the satelite in time for Super Bowl Sunday!
Amy, Painter, Sara,: HELLO!!!
