Working the entire week

You know, I work 12 hour shifts which get long and hard on you. Sometimes your so busy you don't sit hardly at all. And I swear it seems easier at times then this day shift working every single day.

I work a long stretch but I get a long stretch off. I seem to get things done. Now I come home exhausted from my desk job. Rick has been making some absolutely wonderful meals, pop in the shower and go to bed early. No housework, no dusting. I need to do laundry. I am so behind on everyone's blog. How do you all do it?

I suppose I will finally get used to it next week. The 27th I see the doc. Hopefully he will release me to work again on the floor. The 12 hours will fly. Sometimes these 8 hours just drag by. And my check is just a shadow of its old self. I need to make some serious money again.

I haven't had time to follow the news much. Have been listening about Rush. Sorry but the news is lying about him again. He did not say what they said he said. And that picture they are using. He has lost so much weight he doesn't even look like the picture they show. So you know what Rush, I would be proud and honored to have you sponsor me.

I have been hearing some worrisome things on the news. Lots of talk about all the unnecessary medical procedures doc's do on people. Why all of a sudden? Getting you ready for when your new socialize medicine won't cover half the things wrong with you? After all it wasn't necessary in the first place right? I don't trust most things I hear on the news these days. The days are coming.

Also it seems they will start paying off ACORN again at the end of the month. They only stopped payment for a month to get people's short attention span onto something else. Have they suddenly cleaned up their act? Not. Sigh.

Makes me sad and sick to listen to the news. I will do my best to care for the patients as long as I can as best as I can. We interviewed a nurse from another country. She said they have 20 patients each with one aide. The mix their own drugs. The patients family do most of the care. The nurses only do wound care and pass meds. Now personally I think the family should get more involved in this country then they do, but the truth is everyone works. If you miss work you get fired or no pay. But this is our future. Unless we stop it. I don't want 20 patients. I don't want over 5 patients. I want to take care of you to the best of my ability..

Well, time to pop in the shower. One more day to go.

Yeah,just heard the great news the 6 year old from the balloon was found hiding in a box. I am glad he didn't get hurt. I have a feeling his older brothers might be in trouble. Glad it has a good outcome.
