Add a dash of excitement

This was the week that was:

1. Assigned to the now reigning heaviest patient on the unit all week (the absolutely heaviest patient went home). Shoulders are aching. Patient is sweet, though. Nothing like the mean, foul one we just sent home (see previous).

2. Requested, asked nicely, e-mailed and queried directly to see if I would get some time off this week. Reluctantly, boss gave in. One of my coworkers opined, "it's just like nagging your husband to do stuff around the house."

3. For a dash of excitement, we had a drug bust this week. No, there is not supposed to be anyone named Mary Jane; although we do have a Mary or two on staff. (tongue firmly in cheek). Nice. So glad I missed that one. Glad security got the pleasure of search and destroy on that one.

4. Neuropsychologists stick up for the nurses in front of administration on several patient issues. Amen! It's about time. Maybe those regular team meetings (aka the bitch sessions) are working after all.
