Ado Annie ASN, RN

Med/Surg

Nursing is my second career, and I'm so glad I made the change. I don't always love it, but most of the time I do.

    Hubs got a "great deal" on a zero-turn-radius mower; that is, it will be a great deal if he can get it working. He thinks he can. Goodness, he has a lot of projects. We went to church this...

    Good day! Glad everyone seems to be feeling better. Hubs drove a couple hours away to pick up a dashboard he bought for the "new" truck. He took Twin A with him and arranged the Gma sitter...

    londonflo, I'm afraid you'd have to ask the doctor that. Or why *he* has a problem with the cat. As the infection preventionist, I have no objection to the cat as long as it stays outside. We...

    Gma was up in the middle of the night and yelling at Twin B as he tried to get her to go back to bed. Then she was up early this morning and when Hubs tried to get her to go back to bed she yelled,...

    Howdy, all. I've been reading but not posting. Yes, I guess my life is that dull. Congratulations on the raise, Joe! I'm sure it is well-deserved. Sounds like you had a nice weekend, parking...

    Stars, at least your new patient doesn't weigh very much! (you know, since you have to carry her up and down stairs and all) I took Turbo cat to the vet this afternoon. She was overdue for some...

    J22, that's pretty frustrating that people have helped themselves to the products of someone else's labor. Glad that so far your sister is doing OK with the chemo and radiation. Stars, I do...

    Joe, it sounds like your book club isn't the best fit for you. I love mine but realize that it started with work friends. We are friends and like spending time together. We do discuss the books but it...

    Ah, these angry and demented old ladies are fun, aren't they? At least when I become one I won't know it. Yesterday Hubs had a doctor appointment in the morning and left around 7:15-7:30. I...

    I had shingles at age 20, across my left hip and down my leg. It was pretty uncomfortable. I went to the campus infirmary and the doctor gave me aspirin with codeine. So I fell asleep in classes but...

    Tweety, I hope your great-niece gets encouragement and support for her goals. I had all As in high school and impressive scores on the ACT and SAT. But we were spoon-fed through high school and I...

    Joe, your good wishes worked. The high today was about 85. It's expected to remain cooler through the weekend with maybe some rain, then back to the heat. It is nice to have a little break. Hope your...

    Another 100+ day here. My poor little garden never had much chance. I guess there's always next year. I hope the tree blowing over didn't create big problems, Stars. We are hum-drum around...

    Gorgeous pictures, J22! Stars, have you thought about hospice care? We've had Gma on hospice ... I do understand they can only recertify a certain number of times. And Lord knows she will...

    That sounds pleasant, J22. Tweety, I finished reading The Guncle and found it witty, and the story was sweet without being overly so. Reading is what makes traveling bearable. (the actual task...

    Hi, dianah. I'm in Montreal. The risk mgmt group has to have a meeting in Vermont once a year. But travel to Vermont can be challenging (like my long day-and-a-half of travel last year) because not...

    Hubs just went to get Gma up and she wasn't there! After a brief and panicked search we found her sitting in a chair on the back porch. Noy sure how long she was out there but Hubs is quite sure that...

    Yet again today a patient showed up for a blood transfusion that obviously *someone* knew about, but not the floor nurses. They had 5 patients, 2 nurses, and the fantastic aide but once again thought...
