Day with the boys...

Should be interesting to see what we do and where we end up...nothing is scheduled.

Anyway, if you really want to see something interesting and very non-nursing related, check out the 2010 worst Photoshopped photos. I'm so glad I don't have the distorted elbow, or I'd feel a bit like an octopus.

Back later...stay tuned and enjoy your day wherever you are!

Feeling artsy....

Well, it's a full moon in honor of Dahey's natal day, and it's full of excitement, just like the weekend was.

First, I got to get artsy figuring out how to lay the Tegaderm dressings I had to put on a couple of my patients with PICC lines. Sometimes it gets crazy when the best place for the PICC is not the best place for the dressing, like on the inside of an arm of a patient who's very contracted.

Next, since it was time to bake the annual hubby natal day cake, I got to work early. Thankfully, no one snuck in and ate all the icing like they did last year. Between kid and dog, I'm not sure who's worse...and yes, I know cake and icing is not good for dogs. Tell the WildDog that for me, would you? Maybe I'll just get him his own, like this dog....

After that, I tried Photoshopping, cropping and beautifying some of our vacation photos. Another artsy thing I like to do even though I'm not the greatest. When in doubt: grayscale hides a lot!

Finally, I got the note from grad school saying my poem was accepted into the Medical Campus student journal. I have never been published in any capacity as a nurse.

Should prove to be an interesting week...stay tuned!

Nuggets for May 22

Here are a few goodies I've encountered on the web recently. Enjoy!

From the strange but true category:
And you only thought nurses and medical personnel were worried about brain stem edema...
Check out this post from Photoshop Disasters.

On my mind, or maybe brain this week:
Lots of brain-y stuff in the news this week with the revelation Tuesday that Senator Ted Kennedy has a malignant glioma.

Another great article about the brain from Wednesday's New York Times:
An older brain may be a wiser brain

Second Chance to Live is a blog by Craig J. Phillips that describes how he's living with TBI.

The American Epilepsy Society is also realizing that some veterans with TBI are developing epilepsy. This page shows a bill that was sponsored in Congress last year and also has links to many resources of the Society. Check it out for more information.

Don't forget...this weekend is Memorial Day weekend (May 26 actual holiday). Remember our veterans, who have died and been injured keeping this country free for you and me.

Check out this link to the National Park Service to see various DC memorials on a map.
