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.

    J22, I need to get back to working on my weight. Last night Hubs said something like "I don't mean to be insulting, but the best thing you could do for that lower back pain is lose some weight."...

    Wow, Tweety. That sounds like an interesting trip. Nice to have the time off work, too. I had a female dentist back in Indiana that I really liked. Stepson always said she was "creepy" but I...

    J22 -- Well, at least she was nice. ? I took the afternoon off since Hubs said this morning that what he wanted for his bday was for me to stay home. CMS claims, in an email, that I can...

    Wow, a root canal. You really know how to relax. LOL. 5° out and the dog (Dory) still wants to go out every hour or two. Darby goes when Dory goes but she doesn't know why she's out there. They...

    Tweety, I hope you enjoy your much-needed vacation and it restores you. Stars, that is a lot of laundry. And I agree that it's time to call and nag about the birth certificate. I wonder if...

    We had pork chops, too. I decided to use the grill since it was so nice out and soon it won't be. Tweety, we've had a higher census and more respiratory ailments. The other day there was a kid...

    It is 66 degrees and sunny today, really a beautiful day. Hard to imagine that by Sunday we will have a high of 14. I threw away my Winter coat not long ago because (a) it was really old and (b) the...

    I *should* go to bed early. We have students coming for orientation in the morning. And there's a regional emergency planning meeting and an online meeting of the risk managers and a nursing...

    Listened to the wind howl all night long. There were little tiny deposits of "snow" in corners and crevices this morning. Now it is 40 degrees and sunny. The muscle relaxer did calm things down and I...

    I'm sorry that the Huskies didn't win tonight. Hubs, of course, was rooting for the Big 10 team. And I don't begrudge Michigan but it would have been fun to see Washington win. Before we could watch...

    Sometimes the "chemical restraints" work and sometimes they seem to exacerbate the problem. One of our doctors really wants to avoid them altogether. I was fortunate that it worked so well this time....
