Keep telling yourself that, and maybe you will believe the former than the later. I thought alot about B and D today. I even opened up to Meg who is in my theater class about it. so when I drove back to Rochester, from La Crosse tonight, I had a long drive and thought about things. I almost stayed in la crosse, but didn't, and drove back kind of down on how auditions went ect. Got home and had a message ot pick up some O.T. I had to ask if B was on the floor. Bingo he was. Would I want to pick up 8 hours, and have him as a patient...

well guess where I am now!

I got here, and went to the locker room, and looked in my mailbox as i commonly do. there was a note, in red pencil (the same pencils we ahve at the desk, on scratch paper that we have at the desk). My first hought was a note from my nurse manager for something, or a note from a staff member. Wrong. "Kevin M is okay-the surgery went well-no complications-Thanks for eveyrthing, it helpedtotalk. Thanks to all of you. Call us if you ever want 888-888-888 b and D" By this time, I am on cloud nine, gitty as a school girl. Totally excited, elated..

I went to print off my report sheet from the computer, and noticed that there was someone in B's bed. Curious, I asked our charge nurse, and she said... well I thought, btu she had looked at the charge dry erase board which wasn't updated, and he was NOT on our floor. Reality, and my bubble popped. Because I know I would of NOT picked up overtime, if he wasn't on the floor. I had motives..and everyone knows that.

It's odd. Odd to go into the room. To see his bed, with a female in it. To see his stuff gone. To look and know he isn't in there. To know who was in the bed. I had the same feeling when the guy in 14 coded on me. The next time i worked, I had a pt in 14, and going into that room for the first time, it was strange. Odd... differnt.

I took the balls and called the nursing unit he is on. He is doing well and NO COLOSTOMY!!

THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

and I am left with my own thoughts to ponder...

do I see him in the a.m., do I call?

fate

the fact I didn't stay in lax
the fact that I came in
the fact that I saw a car with a 13 on the license plate on the way home
the fact st. charles is 13 miles from rochester
the fact

and nothing more than the fact

Math

87 billion dollars (the U.s. doesn't have) to give to a foriegn country, or for war

87 BILLION DOLLARS

WHen there are pt's without healthcare
When there are people with Cancer, HIV
When there are homeless
When there are lack of funds for educations

maybe the us should spend the money on us..instead of them...
