I am about to sleep now but I am still thinking about my patient last night who pooped three times for 3,600 mls. The first one was almost 2 liters. Imagine me carrying a bed pan to the sluice with it. It almost overflowed. And I need to measure it in a jag everytime she open her bowel. Yucks! If only you can see my face lastnight. Thankfully the smell was not too bad. But still it's a pooped. Ewwww!
It's Summer Again
We had three weeks of rain and now we are back to our warm sunny days. Kids are enjoying swimming almost everyday after school. But I made clear to them that they are not allowed to swim without an adult around even though my two girls are very good in swimming. Thankfully we have a fence that surrounded the pool which is a regulation here in Australia if you own one. A removable pool fence will be handy especially if you want more space but thank you because I am not risking my 7 year old baby boy.
The Singing Nurse???
My husband bought a sound system worth $3,000 plus. I was annoyed because it is so expensive but that his money so whatever! Anyhow, I have a new mxl condenser microphone as well that goes with it but we haven't tried it yet with the new sound system. I'm sure my voice will sound better. I am just hoping that this time my kids can cope the noise of my voice because the last time I sang my second daughter turned off the television so that i will stop singing. Duh!
Don't Give Up! A note for myself!!!
Tonight is my fifth night shift!!! I am tired but I want to earn more so I need to do it. I am still on my thirties so I will not give up! This is to encourage myself because even my colleague who is more than 50 is doing 10 night straight shifts. She doesn't mind because she has seven properties and when she retires she will have a good life!
Energy Speaker For My Colleague
Is it my accent or is the nurse that I handed over is deaf and needed Energy speakers? Why do others understand me well but not her? I know I still have my Bisaya accent which is a dialect in the Philippines but mind you I can communicate well. I accept I had difficulty when I started working abroad but I got used to it after working in the foreign country for 11 years. Why can't she try hard to understand? It is not my first language but I understand everything she says even her accent is different than mine. Duh!
Tired But Happy :)
I am off now after doing two agency shifts for the last two nights. Thank you Lord for the agency shifts that you provide. Hopefully there will be more next time :) Anyhow, my rest will not last long because I am doing a 12 hour day tomorrow. But still grateful to do it. Tomorrow is Australia Day and the pay rate is two and a half. Kids are off from school but because of non stop rain here in Brisbane we cannot go anywhere. Mentioning of anywhere, I need to sleep now because hubby will be home soon and I'm sure he's gonna wake me up and asked me to come with him to look for the coffee table look like a rustic decor to use in our TV room. Sweet dreams to me :)
Scared Moi!
I had a lot of days off this last few days. Then I did a night shift last night. The result? I feel so terrible. I was so tired and can't open my eyes. So what I did was fill up my system with cups of co fees. I don't want to end up kick and punch by my patient especially I had a murderous patient last night. My patent's history is obsessive compulsive schizophrenic and shot his mum with a shotgun when he was 20. Now he is on his late thirties but still a very dangerous man. He stalks people he doesn't like and I was so scared he's gonna wake up and murdered me! But luckily he was heavily sedated. The nurse that I handed over this morning was very scared because they are going to wake the patient up and take the tube out and we don't know what his behaviour will be. Anyway, I need to go now I am going to work and I still need to look for birthday gifts for grandma. Ciao!
Kids Dream Holiday
After a week of raining and cold weather (around 20c - yes that is very cold for us!) we finally have the perfect summer. Bring on the swimsuit! Not for me thiugh because I am very fat at the moment. Planning to lose some weight though... in my dreams. LOL. Anyhow, this is the perfect time to buy winter gears like skis and thule ski rack. My kids dream holiday is to go to Canbera next winter and go to Mt. buler to experience a snowy winter. That will be in eight months time....
Working Too Much
Few days ago I did a night shift then another late shift the following day. I haven't done this type of shift and I thought it will be bad but actually I was perfectly OK and did not feel tired at all. Since agency shifts is very popular here in Australia for extra money I am doing loads right now. My aim is to do at least 32-48 hours every forthnight in top of my 76 hours full time job. I know it is too much but I still have 2-3 days off every week since we are doing a 12 hour shifts. Lord please give me more strength.
The Hang Man
We have a patient admitted few days ago with attempted suicide. He hanged himself in the garage but was save. His wife saw him and his two young kids ages; 12 and 10. Now the wife is in terrible condition and blaiming herself of what happened since it happened after their argument. The worst thing is their kids are suffering. They have five kids in total age from 14 to 5 years old. I saw their family picture and look perfect. I don't know the reason behind it but I felt so sorry for the kids because even if the patient will survive it will hurt and traumatize them. I want to spinabolo to the patient when he wakes up so that he will realize what he's been doing to his family.
Phone Updated To iphone 4S :)
At long last my iphone 3GS was updated to 4S. Yehey!!! The surfing and playing at work (when it is not busy) is better. LOL. Anyway, my 2 girls wanted my old 3GS. After long discussion between them my second daughter won. Since my eldest has her second ipod touch 8 gb
after she broke the first one she let her little sister have my old phone as long as she will let her borrow if she wants to bring it to school. Whatever!
