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.

    The music was excellent. Twin A had somehow ripped his wear-to-work coat next to a seam by the pocket and insisted it be fixed (!) before he went to work today. I found some fabric I thought...

    I'd love to see the Huskies beat Texas. OU beat Texas but then something strange happened and they lost to both Kansas and Okla State which left Okla State in the Big 12 championship game against...

    dianah, you reminded me (somehow) that I have a book to pick up at the library. I've cut back a bit on recreational reading so I can work through the CIC study materials but a girl has to have some...

    Yes, Hubs and Gma are headed to the urgent care after she has her breakfast. We are going to see Handel's Messiah tonight so the sitter is coming; I guess we'd better let her know about Gma's...

    Hubs and I made a dash out today and bought Depends (or some other brand) for Gma. Also bought a cat tree. He assembled it and so far the cats have not paid it any attention. Oh, Sam is checking it...

    I hate throwing up. I'm glad you didn't feel sick all day. I once had a patient who lost her dentures in the emesis bag when she threw up. She obviously expected me to do something about it so,...

    Both Tuscan bean soup and cream of celery soup sound good. My crowd seems to think they haven't had a meal if they have soup but add a sandwich and they tolerate it. I'm thinking soups would make good...

    I was sitting at my desk, deep into a spreadsheet, about 4:30 when the power went out. Of course we switched to generator power but I was mildly surprised that I could keep using my computer....

    Wow, Tweety. What a day. Good you have a chance to recover. We watched the newest Dr. Who, since that is what my guys are interested in. Haven't heard from sister or nephew so I guess I will...

    dianah, I have a collection of photos given to me after my mother's sister died. There are several that I don't know the subject(s). I haven't decided what to do with them. We learned this...

    Belated happy birthday, Joe. Sorry I've been absent. I've been in an absolutely avoidant state of mind. It happens sometimes. Drove to San Antonio Tuesday after a meeting at the hospital....

    Rain all day today but Twin A still had to go work at the zoo. They've started their drive-through " Safari Lights" for Christmas every evening. The rest of us had the turkey, dressing, mashed...

    Hullo, everyone. Tweety, glad the trip was uneventful, the folks are stable, and the dogs did well. TMB, glad the news was good. I've been both busy and lazy, if possible. Still trying...

    Tweety, those recordings of Pie Jesu were beautiful. And I like the boygenius song, too. I had a Charlotte Church CD on which she sang Pie Jesu. Talk about an angelic voice! I miss all the...

    J22, that is scary. I hope everything is safe and power restored. TMB, dogs are good at doing things that aren't that good for them. I don't think I would do well with not seeing the sun. The...

    Twin B wanted to have beef stroganoff and he looked up a crockpot recipe, bought suplies, and we got that going around noon. It would probably smell good if I could smell anything. I felt pretty good...

    I had read a little bit about that case. There are differences of opinion among medical professionals when it comes to complex cases. I can see where it would set off alarm bells if a parent insisted...

    Joe, that's an interesting insight into how we use anxiety and anger to distract from other uncomfortable feelings. Feeling tonight as if I might be coming down with a cold. It's been creeping...
