TGIF

Good morning campers.

I truly earned my Journal subject this week!  yesterday was nutso in the clinic..I gave breathing treatments to grumpy old bastards (looks at gaz).. cleaned out ears..gave phenergan shots to people who had the stomach bug..who then proceeded to puke all over my shoes..gave vaccinations to a man traveling to India for his cousins wedding...did EKG's..about a zillion Strep tests..flu swabs..you name it I did it yesterday..and all with the help of one part time newcomer..I have to give credit where credit is due..she did pretty good..she cut out of there as soon as the last of the new patients were in a room leaving me with 6 full rooms..but that's okay...you just wait lil missy..pay back is a bitch... ;-) So yes I think I am fully entitled to say TGIF!!!

I have to go to the base this morning and get groceries..we are out of everything and I am not exaggerating..no milk this morning and no sugar..that is just wrong on so many levels..I noticed hubby's car was in the driveway last night though ..hmmmm.... wonder why he didn't go to the store???

I can't do this entry without referring to the death of Anna Nicole..I know you are sick of reading about it already but to me it is a tragedy. She was a mess. Watching her was like stopping to look at a traffic accident..you know you shouldn't be looking but you just can't turn your head away...her reality show before she lost all her weight was one of the most bizarre shows I have ever seen.. she was just "out there" Obviously the woman was hooked on some kind of Narcotic pain meds..her slurred speech and dry mouth were a dead giveaway...but there were some very "real' moments in that show...I can't help but wonder where her assistant ..(the female) is and how she is feeling..I got the vibe that they may have been lovers at one time..Anna certainly lashed out at her..she would verbally abuse her on the show..but it was obvious they had a bond too... I think Anna was a lost and tortured soul who was craving love and attention. Losing her son was just too much for her. may they both RIP and may her sweet baby girl be raised away from the media and have a somewhat normal life with her daddy..who I believe to be Larry.

Okay folks I need to get moving here. I hope everyone has a great weekend...stay warm or come to Florida..;-)

Yeah the whole Anna Nicole thing is very sad.  I saw her on ET the other night and you were dead on in your description.  So sad.  I feel for her child.  
It's a wonder you are not on your deathbed after dealing with all of the sickies in your clinic!  Yikes.

Your description of Anna Nicole is so accurate. She was fun to watch good or bad.  I think it is a tragedy that the media would not leave her alone.  She did her wrong doing too, but who doesn't.  Hope work calms down for you.  Sounds overwhelming.  :)

What a tragic end to what was a very tragic life....she mirrored Marilyn Monroe in so many ways....sad, very sad.  I do hope so very much that her little girl is afforded a much better life than her mother had.

What a week.  Last time I had a strep test I warned the nurse that I wasn't feeling well and that I had a quick gag reflex.  I asked for a drink of water first but she would not wait and jumped right in and swabbed my throat and guess what happened?  I threw up all over her of course.  I was absolutley mortified!!  I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who has thrown up on a nurse. :)
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Lynn,
Yes, I think that Anna was way out there and very bizarre.  Very tragic story.  Wow I hope they get someone to help you with all of that nursing. You deserve the weekend!!  I need to get out of the house soon and do something other than unpack.  Hugs,
Lisa

Everyone has something to say about Anna, she was a strange one but I do think it is very tragic. And I agree that the loss of her son might just have been too much for her. But its her little girl I truly feel sorry for, never getting to know her mom or brother.

Enjoy your weekend, yes you earned it. hopefully next week will be slower...and if not, there's a newbie that you've gotta payback! lol!

Hope your next day at work is far less crazy! :)
I agree about ANS, she was a lot like a train wreck, yet very obvious that she loved her son. It's sad that she left a 5 month old baby. :(

God Bless

What a week for you. . hope you enjoy the weekend .I have been reading about Anna Nicole . . what a shocking end to her life. . .to lose your son must be unbearable ,maybe she found that so hard to deal with.A third person has claimed he is the father of the baby girl Lynn. . i hope that baby has a great life.I never saw the reality show. . she was a character wasnt she.I hope she rests in peace.At the end of the day she is someones daughter and Mum. . .aww,such a shame isnt it.

You deserve a great week-end after all that. At least the receptionest window didn't fall out in the waiting room and break into a million pieces like my new doctor's did this week. Paula

Hi There,
Wow did you have a very, very busy day. I can't believe that gal just cut out of there and left you with all that...ERRRRR. But I know you will get her back....LOL I hope you have a great weekend and get some chill time.
I also am writing about Anna Nicole too, just a little bit. It's all just so tragic.

Take care :)

I have to hand it to you.  I wouldn't be able to do all that administering to sick people that you do, sweetie.  Bless.  You're a stonger person than me!  No wonder you are constantly sick.

Oh poor you!  I understand how you feel about all the sick people into your clinic.  And to have your newbie cut out early isn't a good sign.  I check in a little boy the other night whose mom said all he was complaining about was an earache.  No sooner had they walked out of the triage area than he vomited very loudly all over the lobby floor.  Lovely.  Cleaned it up myself (least fav jobs) cause housekeeping never showed up (figures).

I feel sorry for Anna Nicole too, but mostly for her little girl who will never know her momma.  

If you get tired of Florida, you could alway check out Arizona.  Course there isn't a beach right outside me door, just a mountain.

Thursday and Friday were just crazy for us. Friday I did 4 EKG's and seen so many sick people it wasn't even funny. Stayed until 7. I'm sorry that your newbie cut out early on you....yep paybacks, that's all I can say! lol

Anna Nicole was a tragic story. I watched her reality show too and it was very weird. I hope that her and her son RIP.

Have a good Sunday and a good week!

Hugs,
Gretchen

I hate when I find I have NOTHING in the house - when the bread. milk and other basics are gone.  

As for Anna Nicole - I think we are all facinated.  It must've been so hard for her after her son died plus, she had all those battles.  She just never seemed to have real peace in life.  May she have it now, with her son.

The show ANS should have starred in was "Intervention."

My heart goes out to Anna, and he baby.  I wish they would just get the DNA and put her to rest.  She had a tough life...  She deserves to rest in piece.  I have no idea who the father is, I just pray that little girl is loved and protected...

Lyn, I'm sorry your day was so hectic :(  I remember the days of working in the E.R.  esp. on the weekends  sheesh...  it'll get smoother, really it will.
About Anna Nichole?  I agree with you and it is truly sad the path her life had taken... I too think that she just wanted to be loved and needed ~ two of the things that apparently weren't given to her the way she needed...then as you said, the loss of her son?  it was too much.  My main concern was/is for her Baby...

Well, I hope your weekend made up for the Friday you had.  I'm with you about Anna Nicole. Tragedy.  But the mind, body & soul can only take so much.  I pray her for that baby.
Have a good week.
