Did I miss the memo?

Today I've been in the most unbearable pain. Lord knows I'm trying to stick it out until I see my doctor on Friday.  Two pet peeves of mine are being late or calling out for work. Tonight I couldn't go in knowing I was going to be pulling and turning patients all night long. So I didn't have to cook dinner we all went out to eat. I swear I could barely walk while in the restaurant. When we got home I asked my other half to massage my belly. Man he called me ungrateful. I'm looking like really? Am I? Any one in blog land reading this I'm really looking for someone to let me know. Shit! His comment got thinking that I'm too needy. I just wanted to get some kind of relief. Damn.

Letting Go

One of my patients called me Smiley or Humming bird every time I walked into her room. Tonight I didn't get the pleasure of getting a smile back. I assured her that for the next twelve hours Smiley, Humming bird, aka Natasha would be be her side to make sure she was comfortable. (SIP Sweetheart)

Nursing can be very emotional, but I wouldn't trade this profession for anything other.
