a short story ..

my patient has not had a bowel movement in a good four to five days. i talked to him about a suppository. he nodded. i came back five minutes later w/ it in hand. i shut the door. i help him turn around (he's got a lot of back pain so was screaming and moaning the entire process). then i inspect his backside and make sure his ulcer is dressed and intact and looking swell. then i grab the suppository and shove it up. and my patient said to me, in screams "WOO OOO WHAT THE HELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE!??!" and i thought to myself .. wow i kinda just raped his anus. and then i felt bad.

later on we discovered he's had significant memory loss in the past week.

note to doc - please assess.

today i got out of report at 3 30pm and headed back on the unit. discharge pt. admit another. give meds. chart. talk psychobabble. chart. give meds. chart. med teachings. chart. sign careplan w pt. turn pt q2hr. meds again. chart. the next minute i looked up at the clock and it was 10 30 pm!! i gave midnight shift report, sat down first time of the night for greater than 10 minutes to inhale dinner, & saved the peepee for home. then i spent the next six hours making thank-you cards for the awesome surprise engagement party this weekend. and ... now i cannot sleep -_-

ps i think we will register.

*cheese alert.
a hop a skip and a jump ! my dreams have come true !!
On feb 24th my hoonie made a proposal i could not refuse. w/ a yes we dashed off to Chophouse in celebration w a dinner & dessert. after almost four years we have come full circle from our first date at Chophouse. And i must admit i barely remember those butterflies and preparing for our first date. i barely remember what hoonie wore. i barely remember what kind of flowers he gave. i don't remember what we even said to each other that night.
i do remember fully our first kiss. and i mean that true kiss. i remember after a short two months how i realized i was in love. i remember how fast it was, but how right everything seemed to fall into place. i remember the raw hurt & sorrow we shared w one another. and i remember how we healed together. it's amazing what can come of death. and what can come of love and hope. i am eager to see what will come from the two of us one day.
most of all, i am ready to remember and reminisce and to create so many more memories w/ you. for the rest of my life. for the rest of your life. love ya endlessly.

today my elderly demented patient peed on his bed.

night before he wrapped himself up in the window curtain

and then peed on the wall. he also attempted to flush his sock.

lovely. so lovely.
