A year gone....

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 16:47:02 -0800

where did this year go???? wow...its going to be hard to write 2010...lol

Its been another interesting year for me....of course each year is. more learning for me. but of course i think that is the point of life. no learning + no growth= lump on the couch. lol

Mom has gone downhill and is long term care now. SHe got her sense of humor back which is great. I have had a few weddings to attend this year and that was wonderful. ONe here at home.....a week long affair of golfing, parties, and BBQs and the other in Victoria where the weather was wonderful and I got to see Buchart gardens.

I have bought a van.....very very funny van. Its brown and orangie looking. Its got a queen size bed, table, all that fun stuff for camping....I dont use the toilet because there is no way in hell I will go and empty that thing for a two day trip. I guess I could but that would constitute learning how. Its from 1981 and has orange curtains....my neighbors laugh when it backfires. I am pretty sure one of them is trying to figure out how to report it somehow to remove the "eyesore" from the neighborhood....he is a grumpy old man. I call it the scoobymobile...or shaggin wagon. But I cant find any scooby stuff so my friend says i should use my next favortie...Betty Boop.....I am so going to be stopped for some sort of infraction next year I am sure...

I had laminate put in my house...much cleaner with a dog and several foster cats. I have made several more planting boxes in my huge yard for a garden next year and am now composting....

My work is terrible right now...so stressful I get chest pains. there is no other full time job out there in my field here so I have to learn to relax and plug through the days.....My biggest problem is that i have to looooove my job and put 110% into it. I did. Now I dont. Its hard for me to learn to treat it as a job...its hard to remove myself from the energy and just do my job.....that is the lesson for this year...

What is the biggest lesson you have learned about yourself this year??????????

Life oh Life or is it Karma Payback???? what did I do???

Another insane time.....I seriously must have said something or thought something really bad .....seriously.

A few weeks ago mom fell and broke her hip and had to have surgery...it went well and then it created a clot....he went in again and did surgery and cleaned it out. She was home and doing well. walking around with a walker and being her little busy self. This morning her site hurts like hell and her legs are swollen...shit. Off to the hospital and it is what I expected. Blood clots and an infection. So of course its blood thinners and antibiotics. But, they want to send her home.....what ? She is not supposed to move and they are sending her home because there is no beds. I drive her home trying not to cry thinking the clots are going to move anytime and she will be gone...meanwhile worrying if she is in pain.

In all this I have a week holiday in which my friend is getting married...so in that week is the shower, staggette, BBQ at my house, golf tournament, wedding, and day after. While we are getting ready for the wedding my friend sees that my room downstairs is full of water.....ug....its seepage so the insurance wont pay for it.....its finally fixed....but my antique bedroom set is ruined.

So I think I will just run away and take my fabulous new camper van camping....its 38 above, i sweated off one boob, one lantern is broken, the other doesnt have a wick and the flashlight dies. So picture this...I am sitting in the dark saying hi to everyone that is passing by to go pee.....Hi...Hi ...Hi.....
The knob falls off the stove then The WORST of all.....the top of the coffee pot just comes off...breaks....so there I am holding two pot holders pouring through the glass what I can.....I am not giving up the coffee. I dont drink beer but by this time and with the heat I am on my sixth. nap time....

work is the shits,,,everyone wants to quit it is that bad...and I have chest pain.....ug....

Hmmmmm maybe I will go camping next week.......

Stressed and worried

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:33:57 -0700

I never thought it would happen but my mom just tripped and broke her hip. I had flashbacks of her stroke as i sat in emergency holding her hand and trying to keep her calm.
She was a high risk surgery with Copd, fluid on her lungs and an extremely large heart...but she survived the surgery. I couldnt leave her without it because she was in pain.
Now she is stoned on morphine, which I hate because I dont know if she will every come out of the confusion. She thinks she was playing baseball, tripped and got a new leg. She keeps poking me in the eye trying to straighten my part..but then she tells me she loves me or says something very funny. very sweet.
So now its a waiting game to see if she will walk again or need to move to a place that needs more care. Its stressful to care for her and worry. She is like my little kid...or big kid.

While I am doing this..I am holidays so prepare for my friends wedding. It has already been a week of prep, a stagette, shower, now a golf tourney, BBQ, rehersal, wedding and then final day....ahhhhhhhhh

One day at a time......

QotD: Work Challenges

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:15:33 -0700

What's the hardest part about your job? There are so many things....but the one that comes to mind is when one of my residents is going downhill or pallative and we both know it......and it is so emotional and hard.....

Fibromyalgia????

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 10:33:46 -0700

Another wave of pain has actually made me look up information on the internet...and blog about it. I have had sooo many car accidents over the years and the worst one being in 1995 landing on my head out of a rolling jeep. After that life changed and I have never lost the weight I have gained or gained my health back.

After years of different ways of dealing with the pain and never knowing what to eat that wont make me nauseous...the pain is still getting worse. I have all the symptoms of fibromyalgia and yet some people still dont believe it actually exists including my doctor. He says I dont have it.....now I dont want to sound like I am looking for some sort of disease....or some hypochondriac....but yet he still but me on a antidepressant that he perscribes for those with chronic pain including fibromyalgia.......what?? but he doesnt think I have it??????

Oh well, whatever he thinks....the pills have helped some of the rollercoaster pain days where I cry getting out of bed. still I go to the gym and work out because it is good for you....I feel better but hurt more. I go swimming because it is better on your joints...but I am cold, miserable and hurt. I lift weights to gain strength, feel good about myself but get muscle spasms.

this is just one of my life sucks moments....it doesnt happen to often...really. I wake up every day happy with my blessings and people at work say I am so happy all the time they wonder if I am licking the pills....

I guess I just have to keep smiling......any suggestions for coping?????

Still sun!! woo hoo!!!

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Sun, 31 May 2009 17:43:28 -0700

sunrise

I have an absolutely beautiful yard and finally this year I am trying to enjoy it. I had some friends over last night and sat and soaked up the heat, good food and laughter. Even though I have so much to do I still enjoyed the sun...ahhhhhhhh.
Now even if it wasnt for my hick neighbors ......ahhhh. sorry for the hick comments...but these people turn on music or Jeff Foxworthy out of their van and drink beer in the alley while yelling profanities at their kids. No I guess I am not sorry for the comments.....backwards trailer trash, bad parents, hicks, .....shitheads.....lol

I cant afford a high fence.....now I am thinking of putting up lattice and planting something poisoning......

Holidays are almost over...ahhhhh

nobody@vox.com(nursebabs) — Fri, 22 May 2009 08:18:10 -0700

I cant believe my weeks of holidays are almost over....ahhhhh. I am still not done my "to do" list because the weather has not cooperated. There are a few nice days coming up so then I can hopefully finish painting the fence and organizing the garage.....
However...I will miss sitting and watching day time programing!!!! lol
