    Another night of not sleeping well the first half of my attempt at bedtime. I finally took a xanax .5 mg at I-don't-know-what-time, but I did wake up around 9:30 AM to take Nannie's breakfast...

    Last night it seemed like I was awake every hour or so, for the first five hours of my night. I do remember bringing Nannie's AM meds and yogurt to her at around 10 AM, but I was barely awake when I...

    I think you're wrong, and that it is the other way around: Trump got into office because so many people were skeptical of the way things were going, and they wanted to believe that Trump was...

    Busy Bizzy! That's a big project! I get the energy and do major cleaning of MY stuff only every-so-often. My first employer was a couple who ran a small motel on the river, in my home town. The Mrs....

    Hubby said he heard on the news (while he was still at the hospital) that it was 104 degrees in Charlotte. UGH! More of the same tomorrow. Still no rain, here but plenty of clouds with thunder and...

    Gas prices here (Central N.C.) have not reached $5/gal , YET! In fact, I think it has gone down a small amount since yesterday, maybe. I dunno. We are the old folks who do the grocery store, pharmacy,...

    Picked up hubby from the hospital around 2:30 PM. He feels much better. There is a 'plan' for how he is to wean off the booze (he said he was drinking from about noon until bedtime -- how much that...

    Joe, Congrats on your nomination for an award ? <(couldn't find a "Blue Ribbon" award among the emoji's.) Glad your COVID test was negative. Now, if you only could see a bald eagle! ? (No eagle...

    Shoe recommendation?

    In my many years as a nurse, after Clinic Shoes company went belly up, that's ALL I've been doing, trying different options. Unless I can find someone to build a shoe to my specific needs (and that is...

    Let's put psilocybin in the water supply. Calm everyone down, make them un-depressed, and less hostile. Just a thought.

    PS: 11 PM- Hubby was supposed to call me and let me know if he was going to be discharged or not. I just called him (and woke him up again) and asked "Can I go to bed now, or are they going to Spring...

    New Nurse Feeling a Failure

    Feelings aren't permanent, even if it feels like it sometimes, and they don't get to define who you are. I also had a job where I had 30 patients, all their meds, treatments and more! I agree,...

    8:50 PM: Hubby called and said he had the MRI....twice? Or maybe one and a half times! Because the girl put the IV in wrong and the contrast stuff started running down his arm onto the machine. So...

    No need for apologies, I think the Ultrasound was for the recurrent pleural effusion. I was hoping if there was something 'off' with the pancreas it would show. But, I dunno. Once again, I am getting...

    A spam call woke me up at 10:30 AM. I called hubby at 11 AM and he said they did a CT scan on him; also they drew out 900 cc from around his lung. He said they were going to do an MRI on him sometime...

    11:35 PM: I called hubby and while I was on the phone with him, the doc had called the floor nurse, he was told that the doc felt hubby was a little too high risk to send home tonight. Thank goodness!...

    Aaaannnnnnnddddd- at 11 PM I went out to sit on the porch for 5 minutes. Nannie was watching the post-game show (we won 7-1). When I came back inside, I headed to the den to turn off the lights...

    Y'know, I can't make up my mind. He's got multiple health problems. I also want him to have an upper and lower GI, and I want him to have an MRI. I know that if they would schedule those tests for...
