All of the nurses myself included (a retired CRNA, retired COHN and a peds nurse) talk about disgusting stuff while eating BBQ. Pressure sores somehow seemed to be one of the big topics. Even the peds nurse (newly engaged) had a gross story. Her fiance went to talk to the cousin who was doing the cooking.
Thank goodness our family has a (warped) sense of humor. Everyone has been through some horror (or two) and survived.
Makes things very entertaining along with that snow cone machine my cousin brings every year.
Never a dull moment.
Stay tuned...

Hot, hopping weekend
Oh, I'm expecting some hopping in the Hotel this weekend. We've always got the light on: the call light that is. One character likes to ring it over and over, even though his hands hurt. Perhaps from the pushing to ring? No, that can't be!
Some people are escaping the Hotel for good. Holiday weekends are a nice time to do that. One person was going to give a guy a ride across the state--actually the wife was going to do that--until we convinced them that wasn't a good idea for a number of reasons. Many small town folks just don't get it when we have to enlighten them that they're not in Kansas anymore, as Dorothy might say.
For those who remain, the BBQ people are coming to cook up a storm, and with all those sauces, I'm sure we'll have some diabetics with some high sugars soon.
Stay tuned...the weekend is just beginning!

The merry, merry month of May
Ah, yes, it is. And it's been merry so far this week. I was temporarily inundated with multiple patients, but nothing too difficult. Some of my people are even fighting to get me back! How nice it is to feel loved!
Anyway, feeling loved is a heck of a lot better than smelly C-diff. Ugh! I had one patient with it this week and it's always fun when the docs want a room, they start saying, "Well, his WBC numbers are down, let's take him off isolation." All I have to say is, "What happened to those ID rules (infectious disease, such as this sample one)?" No one asked for any more tests, so who knows!
Today there was a party and BBQ for the patients. People everywhere. I got my patient up earlier than usual and he tried to go back to bed before I left. He's not liking that rehab status at all! There will be more excitement next week, but I'll be at home until the weekend.
Ah...more to come. Stay tuned!
