Ok. I'm really getting ticked off. I changed my background and everything got knocked off and now I can't remember how to add them. Shoot!

Pollen Season
It's April in Carolina. Everything has a green sheen to it. And my sneezing would definately wake the neighbours.
My friends Gail and Karen will be here next Thursday night. I have to work until 1900 but Naomi said she and Joe will pick them up at the airport. I cannot wait to see them. A touch of home. I need to spend some time on the 'net looking up things that are happening around here and plan a mountain trip. With a little luck and a win Sunday and next Tuesday we may get to go to a Playoff game. (Please, please, please, please let it happen!!!)
Just a short note this morning. Work is calling my name. Ah, to win the lottery.

2009 and Counting
It is almost the end of January! That is so hard to believe!
I had made a promise to myself that I would do better about writing on this blog. Not doing so well so far. :) So, catch up time.
The year didn't start out so great. New Years Day was quiet. Very quiet as I can't remember doing anything outstanding. I saved the fireworks for January 4th.
I was working Minor Treatment that day with Ashleigh. It was pretty steady but we were having fun. About 1630 I came around the corner from the med room slipped off my shoe, fell to the floor like a beached whale and broke my foot. Thankfully it wasn't super painful, (Ibuprofen worked fine), but I ended up going home early. Next morning I woke up absoulutely miserable. Head congested, sore throat, aches, etc., etc., etc. The good news was I wasn't due for clinical until Thursday but I missed Length of Stay on Tuesday and Quality Improvement Council on Wednesday. Oh well. Didn't make it to work on Thursday and Friday that week either.
By Monday the I had had enough of my own company. Off I go to work, and ironically enough, back in Minor Treatment. Worked all day and about 1730 one of the new managers comes in and informs me I shouldn't have been working. (She could have come at 1230 instead of near the end of the shift.) I was not to be at work until cleared by Employee Health. Joy in the garden!
I had to go see Raleigh Orthopaedics, in Garner no less, passing by two other of their offices to get there. No weightbearing longer than five minutes and no ambulating greater than 50 feet.
Thursday I had the pleasure (NOT) of seeing Dr. Hammer. He's a rude little man who is the Employee Health physician. He informed me he used to run the ED. (Couldn't do it now bud). He also informed me that the 3-D boot was no good and he had been telling the people in the ED that for years. It was kind of fun telling him it helped me. Made my foot feel better. HeeHeeHee.
Anyway I am relegated to triage until cleared by Dr. Boone next week. I told folks I would need a psych consult by the time this was done. Someone suggested Liz Bruce. I decided I would be fine.
So that's my first couple of weeks of this New Year. The Year of the Ox in China. More to come.
