Amazingly, it was a quiet weekend.
Usually, a full moon always brings with it a hectic weekend filled with psychotic patients and family members...or sometimes just psychotic family members. They are worse than psychotic patients, btw.
This weekend, for me at least, was a rather quiet one. Quite a few little gems of humanity resided in the six rooms that I generally care for...of course the nice side was that one of my rooms was being cultured for VRE and was therefore blocked until further notice from the infection control department.
I have to say, the thing I do love about my job is the people one comes across. Human beings are incredibly interesting and the dynamics of the hospital floor never cease to amaze. Anything from the aids who think that there are abused and mistreated to the insanity of the administration...the fact that Joint Commission is on it's way helps nothing. Apparently, we are up for inspection...at least that is what they have been frantically running around telling us for the past few months. Oh well, we shall all live through it.:-D
Other than work, mom continues onward. A few complications today but over all, as far as I can tell, we are proceeding in the right direction. Her kidneys are now making urine. On the down side, there is way to much fluid in her abdomen and it's making her breathing harder. So, keep that in your prayers.
I have the next two days off...maybe I'll clean the house. Couldn't hurt a thing!
Blessings...
