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.

    Someone picked up the first half of tonight's shift so I'll be going in at 0100. Hubs and I had a good conversation with our niece, who is going to assume guardianship of stepson. She is/has been...

    Tweety, my eye doctor offered the same thing -- pictures instead of dilation for about $35. I opted for it, then the assistant realized I wasn't a candidate because of the lasered retina? Sorry...

    First phone call this morning was that the 1 nurse scheduled for tonight is in our ER with probable kidney stones. So I'll be staying home today and working tonight. I had overslept. Don't even...

    Tweety, I admire your ability to speak the truth. Today was the coolest June 12 on record for Oklahoma City, at 67 degrees. The previous record was 72. It rained (and thundered) off and on all...

    Yesterday I saw the retina doctor for my annual follow-up and all looks good. He reminded me that between the detachment and the macular hole I've had 2 conditions, either of which could have left me...

    Finally got the cat (Binx) to sit in my lap but then Hubs (who still feels sick and still has diarrhea) says, "Mom needs to get up, take her meds, have something to eat..." So I guess that means I...

    Great news, dianah! Stars, glad to hear you had a good first visit with the counselor. Joe, trivia can be fun with a group. We used to do that sometimes (before Gma). I'm glad to be...

    Finally made it to my niece's house. Reports from back home are that all of them are sick and the plumbing got blocked again (far from the house, again) so Roto-Rooter came again and Hubs is fit...

    Here I sit in a plane on the tarmac at DFW because they keep delaying departures due to weather north of here. It is sunny and hot here and getting stuffy in this metal tube. They just shut down the...

    Stars, I think you'll find it helpful to have that ear to talk to. Spent my day at a seminar on being prepared for an active shooter. Hubs still sick. Gma had diarrhea, too, and was defiant...

    Beautiful garden! I don't know *that* much about cars and my anxiety level over this trip and vehicle-recovery is fairly high -- I'm just ignoring that right now. I did watch a YouTube video...

    J22, the last time Hubs and I played mini golf (in Florida in December) I was ahead until the last few holes, which is quite rare. Today has been hot, about 86. I read somewhere that we haven't...

    Memorial Day Monday May 29th 2023

    Ado Annie replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Daily Diary's Entries

    Kind of a rainy Memorial Day weekend. Not that we can really get out much anyway. Hubs did play 9 holes of golf (he says it's the first time in nearly 25 years and I guess he's right) on Saturday....

    Tweety, one local meteorologist says the continued cloudy and stormy here means the temps will remain in the 70s for a while. No complaint here. Glad you were able to get home and get the dogs, even...

    I like coffee, too. Though when I took phentermine as a weight loss aid (yeah, I still wanted to eat) I did think it made me think more clearly and focus better. People on cocaine probably think that,...

    Tweety I'm glad you had a good visit. Stars I did disappear yesterday I guess. Didn't really do much but did go stamp some envelopes for the wildlife rehab. And took a big bunch of newspapers to...

    dianah, guess I could have mentioned she has some dementia. Surely the doctor talked through all that and had reason to think the patient and family could handle it. Or maybe not and *that's* why...

    Sorry, Tweety. What a day. We had a patient who was coming in for daily antibiotic infusions. She had a midline that was suddenly not there when she showed up for a treatment. I heard that the...

    Twin B woke me early this morning to report that Binx had been coughing a lot overnight. Then Hubs called me later in the day to say the same thing so I called the vet. Now he's on lasix and an ACE...

    J22, I've often thought a xanax would make dental appointments easier. Especially if I need to have work done on a tooth. I need something that makes it easier to make a call and schedule an...
