Yes, it's the weekend. So many choices ahead, as I get ready to go to MegaConference. Do I buy tons of food to see if Dahey and Bubba will actually eat it, or do I let them fend for themselves?
Do I keep up with laundry, so I don't have a bunch to do when I get back? Decisions...
It was like that at work this week, too. Lots of decisions for me and for the patients.
One patient who needed a specialty appointment decided not to go, even though the weather was nice that day. Why? I don't know, but it could be a decision that changes his life.
Another patient had to take a chance and be seen in our SU clinic. He enjoyed it tremendously.
Many patients were deciding whether or not they needed to do some things on the unit. A couple of our patients decided they didn't need to do something important, which then reminds me of that saying, "Failure to plan is not necessarily an emergency on my part." I did a lot of teaching with one of these folks. It seemed like he took it all in, but only time will tell.
Otherwise, he'll be making some other decisions. Stay tuned!
