The last surgery I had, I got a satisfaction survey form in the mail a couple weeks after I got home. If they send one to you, you should copy your OP, staple it to the form and send it back to them. Heck, if they don't send you one, write them a letter, anyway. That's absolutely ridiculous. Next time, hopefully there isn't a next time, but you will have to advocate for your patient - yourself - like you would any other patient. Hope you feel better soon. I had a hysterectomy 16 years ago. You will need the entire six weeks to recover. After two weeks, you'll think you can do things, but you will tire very easily. Don't overdo it, it is very bad - believe me. Rest now, so you won't be forced to rest longer later.

Thanks for the explanation Pat Pat. Here I thought this was some technical medical question for some strange phenomenon "mysteriously" affecting male genitalia as well as females'. Geez. That's what I get for thinking... :monkeydance: :uhoh21: :wink2:

Yes, I realize the thread is about sexual arousal, but I was wondering what enzyte enduced meant. So, what you're talking about is arousal that occurs after taking a medication designed for that purpose? So, why do women have it? Not, that anybody would notice. I was thinking it might be some sort of arousal brought on just by being close to somebody - physically - or maybe because of stress, or a shared stress. I don't know. When I don't know what something means I can come up with a whole lot of definitions on my own.

Dumb question... I mean I "know" what it is, but what EXACTLY does "enzyte induced" mean? Extremely curious, especially since jov says women get it, too.

OMG! Your faces! LOL! I might pee myself now!

Give yourself a break. If you want to do psych, do psych. You only live once. If later you find you don't like psych, do something else. Even though you only live once, you'll probably live long enough to change your mind, and your life, many times. Good luck.

In my real life, I'm an artist and I'm studying to be a nurse. I don't waste much time dreaming dreams anymore, I just do them. :wink2:

If you're going to go to school M-F 8 -4, when will you work? When will you study? When will you see your baby and your husband? When will you sleep? How long will this schedule last? You might need to put your ends closer together for awhile. Can you get financial aid to help? Good luck!

God would surely inspire someone to make a sick person feel safe and whole. He works through everyone, whether you agree with them, or not.

I'm in chemistry and I was very afraid of the math. But, you know what? It's really not hard. I just have to clear my brain and tell myself I'm going to figure this out, no matter what. Sometimes, I have to look on the Internet to find different ways of solving the problems that are in the book. It's all a matter of finding someone, or something, to explain it in a way that it clicks. Still, when I see a really big number, or a complicated looking formula, my brain wants to shut it out, but I tell it, (my brain), "Stop. Look at it. Figure out what it means - in words." Then I can "see" the number, where I couldn't see it before. Sometimes, you do have to talk to your brain. It seems like it would be redundant, but it really does work. Now, if I could just convince my brain I'm not hungry all the time...

What's a "nursing leakage?"

Why couldn't the hospital explain what happened without violating another patient's privacy? They could explain without naming names. Could you imagine waking up after surgery to find you have no limbs and the hospital saying, "Yes, we cut off your arms and legs, but we're not going to tell you why." What a crock. No, patients don't need protections from the big corporations anymore than workers do, because we know the big guys have all of our best interests at heart. They always do the right thing and we just need to accept that. /sarcasm

Ok. I see what you're saying. I wasn't looking at it like that.

I've been reading this post from the begiinning and that's when he made mention of his addiction. In reference to someone talking about this man discussing private marriage business on here... This probably is just me, but I think it's a little weird two men have recently come to this forum to do just that. (The last one was about his wife's drug addiction and her stealing meds.) Is it just that people find nurses easy to talk to, or what? I mean, I think it's really cool people feel they can open up a bit in here under psuedo-anonimity and we can all offer our advice and opinions. It seems weird, though, to have two men who are so open about their problems in such a short period of time, both who seem to be receiving the short end of the marriage stick. (I'm sure if their wives posted, they'd appear to be on the other short end of the stick! It's that old "perspective" problem.) I haven't been around this board long enough to know. Is this a common occurence?

[quote=nuberianne whoa time out!!!!! i just got out of the military a couple of years ago after spending six years active duty in the military. i had both of my kids during the last couple of years so i do have a small clue of what i am talking about . by the way i am a girl also :wink2:. my husband who i was not married to at the time kept the kids while i was out to sea. i of course realize that fathers are just as capable of taking care of their kids just as well as mothers. i did not mean to imply otherwise. however, i think the main point of my post may have been missed. although this is 2006 there is still a natural tendency for mothers to want to raise their kids except in extenuating circumstances. all i am trying to say is the original poster's wife seems like she has something else going on that he is not telling us or she is not telling him. as i tried to state before i can totally understand if the wife wants to get away from him and move in with her family. i just don't understand why she would move to be with her family and leave her kids behind. no harm, no foul and i agree with you in the maternal instinct area. it doesn't always work that way, but i'm sure, statistically, you're right.
