Another surgery!

I had surgery again on the 22nd of March - My first being on the 22nd of Feb. They didn't find much on the first and were starting to blame my poor gallbladder. I thought that they were going to take it out....but they ended up putting a scope down into my stomach. I don't know many results yet, but he took 2 more biopsies. It's a good thing I work in the OR because right as they were putting me to sleep the doc walks in and says...We are doing a colonoscopy with no sedation, right....Just as I screamed no...he says thats right....we're not, but we didn't have time to clean the scope between cases. Man oh man, if I didn't work there I would be really worried they were serious....
Hmmmm...I think they were kidding. Anyways, I came out, without having breath smelling of poop. I did have to have oxygen, although the guy next to me in the recovery room who was 83 did not have to. I did have a few tatoos that I couldn't account for, kept finding more and more later in the day. But I felt pretty ok. Took the kids on a bike ride and played church volleyball that night.
Wish me luck at work on monday, and tuesday at my doc appointment.

It didn't take much to knock me out!

So, my friend, the anesthesiologist says....how ya feeling? I say, I don't want to remember anything. One tube in, then another, then he says "do you feel it working?" I say yes, and that's all I remember.... Wow, it didn't take much to knock me out! And ya know what, I don't remember a thing, dang good thing!!!
The Doc took 6 biopsy's and said that he is concerned there is some area with no visible blood vessels. But said nothing too concerning...so I'm happy. I have an appointment on Wednesday to find out test results, wish me luck.

What to do?!?

So on Friday, I get a call from the hospital. Silly me, I thought it was test results from that morning. It wasn't. It was the Nurse Supervisor. She offered me 2 jobs. I told her I would think about it over the weekend, and let her know Monday when I went to work. I'm still no closer to deciding. So I need help. Should I take the Health Unit Coordinator job in the ER - 7pm to 7am 3 nights a week. It is checking people into the ER, contacting Docs, Arranging life flights, billing, and filing, and switchboard. The other Job is CNA in Med/Surg PRN - that could end up many hours because they are so short on nurses. I could decide on either and go for an interview or I could take neither. Any ideas?

Work and the Glory


We went to see the 3rd Work and the Glory Movie last night. I love the first 2, so I assumed the 3rd would be just as good. Well, it was good, but for being the last in the series I wasn't impressed. There seemed to be no real ending. They ended it with you thinking there would be more to come, but from all I understand there will be no more? Oh, and we sat in the worst spot! The theater was full when we got there, so we ended up on the very top. There were these 2 teenage girls that kept going back and forth back and forth back and forth. I'm usually pretty patient with that, but when they weren't going back and forth, they were running up the stairs, down the stairs. I almost had to make a scene at a mormon movie! Over all it was a good night out. Thanks mom and dad for picking up Brad at the school so we could go!
