I feel so… restless tonite. or something. Not sure why.
One thing that I think I’m getting a bit anxious about is that the work on the bathrooms is going to begin next week. yikes. I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing yet, as far as the pieces and parts n’ stuff. I do know that I want to try and keep the Arts and Crafts architectural style of our bungalow as much as possible. In fact, I’m going ga-ga looking through all of the bungalow related magazines and web sites. Of course I’m sure most of the products are way over our budget, but they’re good for ideas.
I don’t want to break the bank on the downstairs bathroom ‘cos I want to spend more upstairs, as well as on the kitchen, ya know? I should take some “before” pics pretty soon…
Besides that stuff, this weekend past was the first time in my 21 yrs at the hospital that a patient got reeeally pissed off at me. Really. It’s a long story, but the gist of it is that the patient insisted that she was getting her therapy a particular way all along, when in actuality, we NEVER do it that way. Not to mention that I was the one giving her treatments previously, and did not do it the way she claimed. Geeesh.
After hearing of her dissatisfaction from the ad rep, I went to talk to her and to apologize (the customer is always right ya know). She was still fuming and would have no part of it, and admonished me out of her room. And damned if that didn’t make me all teary n’ stuff. I’m not used to that, ya know?
At least my co-workers assured me that she was a whacko, and had a whole bunch of funny quips related to things that she had said (‘cos they really were ridiculous), so that made me feel better.
Anyway… when I got home last nite, I just chilled and made a little Easter-ish set over on FMG (yup, still do that once in awhile). That de-stressed me as well. So there ya go.
Okee-doke then. Until next time kiddos.

Having spent a good deal of time on the patient side of things now, sometimes people are just used to a certain way, and it’s nothing personal when someone else wants to do it differently. I many times had nurses tell me “we never do it that way” when in fact every other nurse had done it that way.
Don’t take it personally. I’m sure you’re awesome!
THERE you are! I couldn’t for the life of me remember your new url.
Good.
As far as that patient thing – what she was talking about was not even an option. Physically not possible. nada. She was confusing it with something else.
:)
oh well.
Yes, well, I’m not saying SHE wasn’t crazy. ;)
And believe me, after my 9 week stay, I have an immense amount of respect for what you do. *mwah*
