And the Shaming section on Little White Lion provided it today. Thanks to my old nursing clinical instructor J.
Ah, memories of WildDog in his youth, running up and snatching bread, muffins and potato chips off the counter tops, before any humans would find them.
He was (and still is) smart. Leave him unattended, and he'll steal the stuff when he figures that you're gone to work for the day.
May none of your pets end up eating anything too messy or expensive!
Stay tuned...

Snack attack
I like chips and salsa anyway, but why on earth did someone make the chips healthy enough that you'd want to eat the whole entire bag? Now if they were calorie-free...ah! They were really that good!
At least, I wasn't NPO all day for some labs like the older couple over at the Saintarama Internal Medicine office today. True, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (not their real names) could afford to miss a meal, but be NPO until 3PM? I know their doc (aka Wild Pants) and trust me, if I had had time, I'd have loved to a) see if he was wearing the really weird golf pants today (it is Wednesday) and b) asked him if he had heatstroke, making his people NPO for so long.
Now, I'll just have to get back to working on my photo project I delayed one too many times. Got a deadline now, so I have to make it before school starts.
That is all, so resume snacking. More from the Hotel later!

Ahh...sweetness!
The tang of the wheat beer and those darned barbecue potato chips...ahh!
I'm so glad it's Friday, I'm so glad it's Friday, I kept saying to myself today. I felt like I was constantly behind, even when I wasn't. Nevertheless, I made it through the day.
Lately, I've seen and felt a lot of emotions, as I've been running around the unit. Anger...that patient who just won't cooperate with his/her rehab goals. I finally capitulated to the coordinator, since the patient is stalling and just taking out frustrations on yours truly. The psych people took another tack...put the ball in his/her court and bring up discharge. Yes, this changed things some, but I still elected to work with another patient. It was hard to give up, but I felt in the interest of everyone, it made sense. So did the coordinator, which worked for me.
Anticipation...I'm getting ready for upcoming conferences and vacations. It's such a pleasant thought to think that in mere weeks, I'll be having fun outside the Hotel Rehab. I also got out of the GRE when I found out my grad program no longer requires it. I got my application in to the program just in the nick of time, so we'll see if I get accepted.
Excitement...Yesterday, I went to a training session on using our medication administration system. No one else showed up when I went, so basically, I had the person in charge all to myself for about an hour. It was great. I hope to someday end up in that department, and I got a whole lot of face time and plenty of information to boot...and a reference.
Outside of the emotions, there's always the physical aspect of the job. A whole lot of heaving and ho-ing. I had two patients that got up all three days. Neither of these two patients are lightweights (180+ lbs.). I did get both of them to help me. Almost all of our lifts have buttons on cords, so I could give them the cords to put themselves down in the chair as I pulled them into place with the handles on the sling. This was wonderful...and kept them busy. They got a charge out of having some control on how they transferred from their bed to the wheelchair.
I could kvetch and moan about the craziness some of the night folks left me with...full hampers, full urine bags and totally fsked up IVs, but I won't. I am celebrating the weekend. It won't be here forever, so I'm going to enjoy it, snow or no snow. I hope you do, too, wherever you are.
More to come...
