My FIL is back in the cancer hospital for the 2nd time in three weeks. Picture doesn't look good for him, and MIL is driving everyone crazy too. I love my in-laws to pieces, and can't stand to see them like this. Hubby just looks worried and so tired.
My mom had back surgery Thursday (her 2nd one) and although she came thro surg ok, she is soooo nauseated and miserable. Of course, we are all wondering how she will do once she is released, as her mobility will now be so restricted. I have two sisters to help and that is great.
My daughter is driving me koo-koo. She will be 25 on March 14 and is still so immature and living w an alcoholic man who is lazy and out of work. She dropped out of college 2 years ago and has had a succession of lousy jobs. Always on the verge of total poverty and looks anorexic to boot.
I have medical problems too, with an ankle messed up. Going to see an ortho specialist in 3 weeks. Surgery might be in the future.
I have been working waaaaaaay too many hours and trying to deal with all of this, too. Does the term "burn-out" enter the picture here??
I am dealing with my job situation soon. I amchanging from 12 hr floor work at my hospital to wok at out Home Health as a visit nurse and case manager. I have done similar work before and I think this will be a good place for me to be now. At least physically and maybe mentally less stress, too. The new supervisor there is wonderful and everyone loves her.
I do have to deal with some snide remarks at work about my changing jobs. Is it jealousy or what?? I get the remarks from a couple of RNs like I am a job-jumper cuz I have changed positions after less than a year of full-time on the floor. (Used to always work part-time).
Well, enough of the whining and crying. Thanks for listening to me. I love all you guys and I knew you would not judge me. I know things will be OK...I am generally a very optomistic and upbeat person. God gives me strenth in all I encounter, and it is His love that keeps me going.
