That'll be a very tasty heart attack!

Merry Christmas to you too! From: A grateful student

I've always had a tolerance to anesthesia. I woke up once...sat straight up however, it wasn't noticed right away. Here's what I experienced. The thing I remember the most is seeing those bright OR lights and seeing people in crinkly, blue, paper out...

When I was born, doctors said I wouldn't live to see 6 months. Dead before I had a chance to live. My mother was going through all the efforts associated with birth. So far, everything was going all right. Mom was going to welcome a beautiful, healt...

Hmmm....I know that we are just fine with the nurses using our WiFi. Sitting there in a quiet house when everyone else is sleeping, there's barely any sound except from the white noise of a vent, fighting against your body's natural sleepy-time rhyth...

I am very thankful for these types of medicines. I'd tried everything. You think of it, I've probably tried it. From attempting to "not feed the bad wolves," to counseling for 2 years straight. Some of those methods did work but not as well as I need...

Yay, yay, yay! Happy School Nurses Day!

I think y'all are awesome! Anyone who can give up a significant part of their life to come help out is wonderful in my eyes.

Thanks!

Sorry about not responding sooner. I am on the patient side of things. :) Sorry for the confusion.

Nurses have told me that they will take me to their house "just for fun." This made me veeerry uncomfortable. Of course, I told my parents about it. But, I'm lucky, I can talk. What if the kiddo couldn't talk? There's been some pretty scary stuff out...

Mmmm....that's not cool! For us, if a nurse had swapped shifts and something came up and the other nurse couldn't make it, well....that was it. We dealt with it all by ourselves. Sometimes, ya gotta give a little to get a little. :)

I don't mind what my nurses do, just as long as they can hear me and are able to help me if I need it. I also believe that it's okay for there to be a comfy chair or whatnot to sit on. That's a pretty long time to be uncomfortable.
