Yesterday I worked 17 hours. I couldn't help but have a bad attitude from the get go even though I was the one who scheduled myself that way. What are you going to do? I worked like a dog for the first 12 in the ER main. We had patients everywhere. No beds upstairs to put them in. And since we are a Trauma Center, the fun just kept coming....Around 10am I got a 20 minute break and then we were running the whole rest of the day. I ate my lunch fast and standing. The last 5 hours were cake. I had to find stuff to do because I was in ER West and that is the way less acute stuff: UTI, coughing, simple laceration repair.....etc. One of the doctors bought pizza and it was so worth the 17 hours that I put in. I love pizza and don't indulge as much as I would like to due to finances and "points". It was great and though I feel a smidgen guilty, it is not bugging me or getting me down.
Sleep-8 hours about. My brain turned on before I really woke up. Thinking of the past, my "Army" memories. Let them go and then shut them off. I think that some of the past came up because I was pregnant in the Army and will hopefully get to be again soon. I meet the mom of the intended parents tomorrow. I hope that this time I am really going to be a gestational carrier! It sounds good And I love being pregnant! So, will keep the blog posted on what goes on. Will never reveal the "real" names or anything but that is almost trivial information anyway....
Off to "work" for a few hours at Telxar. Maybe I will have more to blog soon.....
