    "Allo~ Sunny, upper 60's, low 70's. No rain predicted for at least a week, but as usual, Nannie hears the National weather report and thinks WE are the ones who should be expecting rain and/or...

    The last dress I wore was a 3-season, light-weight knit dress, the color of vanilla ice cream, which I purchased for -- $28? -- at JC Penney. I got it as my wedding dress. I wore it one other time, to...

    Thanks! Good to know. But it's a moot point for me now, as I am retired by about 5-6 years now. I hope not to have to do any more tube feeding or give meds that way. My problem then was I trying to...

    Goodish Afternoon~ I went to pick up my glasses. I am happy to be able to see clearly now. I have to get the lenses darkened a little more. I had asked for a 3/4 lens instead of the thumbprint...

    Yep, that tubby groundhog will have a warm, cozy Winter while he is hibernating under the shed! Hubby brought back my grilled cheese sandwich, and had an order of chicken livers for himself and...

    We had pizza and chicken delivered last night from Pizza Hut, and got it for NUTHIN'! It seems that last time they delivered, they messed up the order big-time, and hubby called in to complain, so...

    j22, I remember having 'growing pains' in my legs when I was young. I didn't like it one single bit, they ached so much! It made me cry, and I remember saying, "My eggs lake!", which made me laugh as...

    Since Nannie had very late lunch, and had been to the bathroom, hubby and I went out and ate at the Chinese Buffet. Nannie slept the whole time we were gone. There was a little girl about 5 years...

    Good Afternoon! I have to go wake up Nannie; I'm sure by now she is thoroughly soaked and will require bed-change in addition to a wash up and putting dry things on her. She just recently has...

    Hate to sound like The Donald, but yesterday's hopes for this morning were "FAKE NEWS"! Hubby woke up this morning feeling 'finer than a frog's hair split 4 ways'. No pain, he said. Slept like a...

    Oh, Joe! White Russians! The idea even now after many, many years makes me feel ill. I got sooo sick on White Russians when I was in college; sweating and puking...it was horrible and lasted long...

    You do realize, don't you, that hospital patients do NOT get a lot of true rest. There are constant interruptions throughout a person's hospitalization, for v/s, meds, IV's and IV meds, transportation...

    Nurse asked by surgeon to find plug in stool

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Hacker's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is definitely WEIRD! But seeing as it was in 1926, maybe not so weird after all. So, it never did say if the plug in question was located? Today there would be multiple

    Hubby went up to rest on his bed after supper. I went outside for a while. After I went back inside he was standing next to his bed and wanted to know why neither of us (me or Nannie) went up to help...

    You know how it feels when you really want to (need to) cry, and you can't? That's me. Nannie got up to go to bed and she was soaked from mid-back to knees, so it was strip, wash, dry, dress,...

    How much is too much?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely could use some counseling to sort yourself out. Find out what you want or expect, then research like crazy, but don't peg yourself down to one idea. I think it is a mistake for...

    My aches and pains move around, come and then completely go, slide by for a ghost of an ache. They convince me it's time to go back to my spine doc, but then they disappear. That's why they are called...

    I had a 97 y.o. patient who pulled the "Tooth-Hurty" joke on me, when he said, "It's time to go to the dentist," and I fell for it! Basically I said--"do you need me to call and make an appt?" He...
