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 SS death benefit was a whopping $250 or so... It won't cover funeral expenses but could sure help keep the account balance afloat for a few days. Hubs actually took the initiative today to...

    Stars, I have to agree with Tweety about keeping records of Nannie's expenses. Kind of like "document, document, document!". And good to speak with the lawyer and make sure you are on the same page....

    My stomach acted up again so after watching a spooky movie with Hubs (Rooom 1408 with John Cusack) I've been moping about the bedroom. Yesterday we watched Dracula Dead and Loving It. I remembered...

    God bless you, Stars! It is such a blessing that you were able to be with him and provide comfort and love as he left this life. You are in my prayers as you move through this

    Got a call from the IT manager because the nurse wasn't able to get the telemed hospitalist on the video call. So I went to the hospital and we got it working. Hubs has a #13 welding helmet so we...

    Joe, a potluck sounds like a nice evening. Tweety, RIF = Reduction in Force. At the risk of saying too much, they eliminated the nurse manager's position. We're a small staff and so it's...

    Stars, you have been so strong and wise. I wish peace on you all, and comfort. Happy Friday the 13th. We got distressing news at work (RIF). Afterwards I started feeling sick to my stomach....

    Happy birthday to your dh, dianah! Hope he had a good day. My book club is reading The Haunting of Hill House which I had never read. I'm enjoying it but have been in a highly distracted state...

    Yesterday was Darby-dogs 15th birthday. At least thats what her papers from the shelter said. She and Binx are the only ones we have specific dates for and for all I know they both might be just...

    Our pharmacy actually has a drive-thru which can be handy. Hubs and Gma and I were planning to go get vaccines after the ballgame today (flu for them, that 2nd shingles for me) but Hubs and I agreed...

    Stepson is out of custody and installed in the apartment his cousin/guardian found for him. He's posting all kinds of crazy stuff on facebook just like he did before. (He defriended me but I can see...

    I think your doctor is absolutely right, NSIME, that you are smart and wonderful and have a big heart. If the stepdaughter can't see that, it's her problem. A beautiful day today. And a...

    Condolences to you, Joe, on the loss of your aunt. I probably would have reminded the nurse about the ativan, Stars. I hope they're keeping him medicated

    Stars, good to hear that Mr. Stars knows you and no longer needs the high-flow O2. I am glad you're getting good support. Know that we're pulling for you and praying for you. I made it home...

    Wow, Stars. I think we're all a little stunned by the severity of Mr. Stars' condition. Hugs and prayers. Yes, Joe, I'm in Minneapolis for the ASHRM convention. Home tomorrow, as long as weather...

    So glad the hospital folks seem ready to really address what's going on. I need to get the 2nd shingles vaccine. I'm late for it but the website says to just go ahead and get the second one. No...

    Hello from Minneapolis. ASHRM annual conference starts tomorrow. Much less drama getting here than there was getting to Vermont. Was on the same flight as a couple of colleagues. We all had dinner at...

    Stars, Hubs is a guardian for Gma. It was done that way back when all 3 "kids" were alive and well. Gma's dementia was becoming bad enough that she wasn't handling her finances and things were getting...

    Hubs has a conversational style much like that.. interrupts and then goes on with a long-winded story or comment. After 34 years I guess I don't let it bother me too much. My computer at work...

    Hubs had a method with my dad, which he uses with his mom now, where he puts pads under the fitted sheet as well as on top of it. Still have to change the sheets a couple times a week. When Gma was a...

    "exquisitely tender to the touch" and "painful to walk on" suggest to me that's worth getting it checked out. Could be a long weekend (especially with new dogs coming) if you're in unrelieved pain and...

    Happy Friday! I'm feeling a little swamped at work and might make some time to go to the office over the weekend just to get a bit better organized. Not that there isn't plenty to do at home....
