Back to work soon I hope

by

I’m trying to think positively about going back to work. My next visit with the Occupational health doctor takes place December 15th. As with all of my other visits to the good doctor that will be when we decide if I’m off again for a month or more or if I’m finally ready to start working on moderated hours which will gradually increase until I’m back up to 12 hours a day. Ahhhh! Yeah- 3 different 12 hour shifts in four days- that was my usual schedule. No wonder I got sicker and sicker huh?

I think to motivate myself a little bit I might go shopping for some new Nursing Scrubs. Maybe I’ll get some colorful outfits. The patients I care for usually like the uniforms that I wear to work because I like bright colors. Now normally, in my day to day life I don’t wear really bright colors, but when I’m working in the ER I do. Why? I don’t know, but I know it makes the patients a little bit happier so that’s good enough for me.

While I’m looking perhaps I’ll find a lab coat or a suitable sweater to wear at work too. Sometimes it gets cold.





Would you get liposuction done?

by

Did I ever tell you that the cosmetic surgeon that I worked for did liposuction? Guess who got to put the fat sucked out of people into bio hazard containers? Yeah me! Fun stuff huh?

I always felt more than a little bit sorry for the patients as they left the recovery room after their procedures. I knew they were going to be in some pain for a little while. However, when they’d come back in for follow up appointments you could really see how well the liposuction had worked for them.

I’m not sure that I would ever get this procedure done. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with it, it’s just not for me.

However I’m wondering how many of my readers have had this procedure done? Or if you are considering it? And if you have had liposuction did you like the results?

More free stuff for my readers

by

I found another site where you can get free stuff! I know you’ve appreciated my other posts where I’ve told you about getting items for free or discounts on items so I thought I’d let you know about Freebie Fanatics.

When you visit Freebie Fanatics you’ll find hundreds of articles on how to get free stuff for babies, or even free wedding stuff. Just go to site and browse through the categories. Once you find a category you’re interested in, perhaps one such as the free food where you’ll find articles about how to get free samples and even full sized products from many different companies.

I know that a lot of people like to use coupons too. There’s a whole section at Freebie Fanatics with free coupons where you’ll find articles on how to get free coupons for just about any product you can imagine.

Oh, and if you have pets you’ll enjoy the section that has free stuff for pets such as free puppy training items, pet food samples and even toys for your pets.

My bet is that many of you will check out Freebie Fanatics- who could pass up free stuff? I know I can’t. LOL

Our cable has sick signal syndrome

by

Yes, our cable – you know the stuff that brings in television stations, the internet and sometimes even internet telephone – is sick. I’m so sad.

The cable guy came over today. He arrived at about 12 noon. Right away he knew that we had a serious problem. The signal was very very weak … and our channels … *sob* were about to go to digital heaven.

The surgeon technician had arrived just in time. He continued to monitor the signal but it continued to be weak. There was a signal in but no signal out – it was … dying. We had sick signal syndrome. Outside he went and he got to work installing a new pacemaker cable box.

It was touch and go for a while. We thought we were going to lose the patient signal all together. Then, the worst happened. My cable modem red lined! No internet connection at all. The doctor technician went back to the pacemaker cable box and discovered there was a corroded cable connection outside. The wire was replaced.

Finally after three hours, the signal grew stronger and the internet came back online. Our system is still very weak, and needs medicine a service call to the area to fix the service trunk to strengthen the overall signal.

As long as the pacemaker whatever he did keeps working we’ll be online and be able to watch and record our favorite shows on the PVR, and then once the medicine kicks in service call is complete we should be out of the woods and back to normal again.

If by chance I disappear for a while, well you’ll know that the pacemaker cable guys work failed. We’ll be back after the transplant service is restored.

Cross your fingers that everything keeps working!

Celebrity Weddings- who cares?

by

Just glimpsed Entertainment Tonight and I see that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going to get married very soon.

You’d think they were royalty the way the media has been talking about them continuously over the past year or so. I can’t wait until they get married and then maybe the press will settle down about all this wedding stuff and give it a rest for a while.

Of course they won’t though. Yet another celebrity will be in the news for eloping, being engaged or getting married. What’s the big deal. People get married every day. It’s a normal thing, and it’s supposed to be special, but celebs and many non celebs treat marriage so casually. Marriage is like buying and wearing underwear – you don’t just throw them out when they get dirty, you have to wash them and take care of them.

Are you as tired as I am about hearing about Cruise and Holmes and other celebs and their weddings?
