The faker patient

Aloha!

Yesterday I worked all day and it was not the funnest day or anything... The day went slow and just dragged along. I worked with Shawna and talked about traveling to Hawaii for nursing for 13 weeks. She had done it before and totally hiped me up to do it. I even sent an email to a company just to get some info!!! I want to do it soooo bad! I checked the baptist policy and it looks like we can be gone for up to a year - this is something that is so possible for us!!! I really hope Harold will want to because i dont want this to be a regret when i get older! A married life reallization I made was that I can't just say "i'll go without you..." its about us now... that's pretty freaking crazy and scary! i mentionied it to harold today and acted like he had thought that through already and was perfectly ok with the idea... I think he knows he'll always get what he wants.... i'm so scared to butt heads with him about something... i know its bound to happen but i'm so not looking forward to it!

anyways the big thing that happened to me at work was that i had this patient from cuba that was having "10/10" pain to his "liver" - well the whole day i'm dealing with the guy and he's NPO and hungry and I talk to the doctor and he says "this guy might be faking it .. he doesn't look like he's in that kind of pain and someone in so much pain wouldn't really be hungry" I say to myself - true but if the guy says he's in pain then he is... so anyways the doctor orders a procedure and says the pt cant eat until we have results. So i explain this to the pt and he's upset but they come and pick him up pretty fast so he gets entertained with that for a while. SO... he comes back and is all upset because he's so hungry and if we don't feed him he's just going to leave AMA - I tell him to relax and put a call out to the MD to see what we can do... so 6pm rolls around and no one has called me and i'm closing up my charts and getting ready for home when i see this guy walking in his clothes with his walker (perfectly strong) - I ask him what he's doing because he's so weak - how is he even going to leave here - he says "i'm hungry give me the paper to sign" - mind you this guy just wants a cigarrette and a drink!!! So i tell the charge nurse and get the AMA paper.. and I tell him he needs to sign he starts to sway like he's gonna fall and i have to catch him and sit him on a chair... DRAMA QUEEN this little shit! so at that moment the GI md walks in and says "well if he's gonna leave over food just feed him" - i looked like an ass - the pt was happy and let me roll him to his room - it was such a retarded situation!!! The guy was faking everything and i totally fell for it. I hate that shit! whatever - that was what made my last hour fly by!

When I got home harold was waiting for me outside with roxie on the bench.. i love coming home to him!! we went to Humberto's house for some beer... i got to see Miko - that was nice! we just hung out.. no big deal - made fun of ER - then went home. Nothing too exciting!! Humberto sent me a text on the way home saying "Marrige suits you - you look very cute and happy tonight" I thouth that was sweet!

Today - today i went to compentancies at work... no big deal.. i thought i was going to fail my tele test but ended up getting 3 wrong!!!! I was so excited!!! Now i'm cleaning the house waiting for harold to come home from car shopping...

talk to ya after!
