Today I am thankful for having a few days off of work.. I am a nurse at a hospital in a small town and this week I started working nights for one month. It is hard on me and my husband Dale. We are trying so hard to adjust to the new change in our life,but like I said it is very very hard. People aren't supposed to be up at night, that is just pure craziness.
Well, the reason I am happy to be off work for 2 days is last night at work I really had a rough time. I had two people die, one person went into fluid overload and another patient I cardio- arrested him. It was so emotionally draining. I walked into my first room and she was dead. The second patient I went to assess was having trouble breathing so I called respiratory and called the doctor and we had a lot of now medications that needed to be given. The Third patient, I walked into the room and he took his last breath. By the time, I left his room I was crying, I certainly could tell it was Friday the 13th. It wasn't a very good start to my day, so when the supervisor called up to the floor and asked me if I wanted to go home early, I said "Heck yeah" little did I know I was going to hit someones black cat on the way home. The question is do you stop in the middle of the country at 4 am and try to find the owner of a BLACK cat? How many wild cats are out there, this cat might not have been anyones. I said a small prayer for this cat and hoped it would make it to kitty heaven and I kept right on driving along until I got home. When I got home I was so relieved to be home I just took a shower and went straight to bed, and today I have a better outcome of my day. Hope you all had a wonderful, fabulous, and Crazy Friday the 13th, hope there isn't anymore crazy days for a while...
