So much for Mucinex. I finally relented and called my favorite internist. He didn't want to see me, but was nice enough to send me antibiotics.
I can't wait for this bug to be dead!
Stay tuned...

Word of the day
Mucinex.
Even better with cough suppressant.
When you absolutely, positively want to feel better when the stranglehold cold has you down.
Stay tuned.

Happy hump day to me!
Well, it's not really Wednesday, but I'm on the downward slide of my evening rotation, so this is always a good thing.
My patients have been pretty good and I'm secretly hoping we're fully staffed tonight so I can ditch the med wagon, even if it means I get another patient. I have one good one and one wacky one, so hopefully, if I end up with a third, it'll be a good one to tip the scales and keep my sanity.
I got acquainted with a new drug yesterday--the belladonna/opium suppository. One of my patient's gets this for his pain (he's a quad who's been getting up a ton for therapy since his debilitating illness). He's quite a character. At least, he's liking his CPAP now, but he still needs his "muscle relaxer" once he's ready to put it on every night at 2300. I found out that his "relaxer" is not Baclofen or something else, but rather, good old Ativan.
I still feel cruddy, but with rest and fluids and good old Mucinex, I'm tackling work pretty well. All this resting makes me feel like I'm slacking at home, but I'm hoping it'll pay off later and I'll be done with this virus soon enough.
I'm still working on my CRRN stuff. Since this is the first week of the year, I'm going to have to start a countdown.
More later on that...gotta get ready for work!
