The wheezing continues.

Well, I thought I was getting better...but I'm sadly mistaken. I actually got through the entire day without dying of cough...but then it got the better of me on the way home. I've been hacking ever since. It's a lovely sound...and feeling. I suddenly was glad that I hadn't cancelled my doctor's appointment on Monday morning.

Work today was busy! I don't think I had 5 minutes to sit down! Both my patients were great...they just require a lot of attention. I enjoy working with complex patients...but sometimes my back doesn't! :)

I really REALLY am itching to go shopping...and that never happens to me. I guess it's because I haven't had the opportunity to go in two weeks. Oh well, I'm sure my bank account has appreciated it. It will be good for me to save money for the trip to Disney.

Today, a nurse that I work with passed out during a chest tube removal procedure. It was so odd because she's seen a TON of them! She turned white as a sheet and started collapsing. Ironically, she still had her wits about her enough to know that she needed to keep holding pressure on the patient's chest while they pulled the tube out. Needless to say, she spent a lot of time sitting with her head between her legs and a carton of orange juice in her hand. Now, I've never passed out, but I have felt pretty crappy at work on occasion. The patient was more worried about the nurse than having big tubes pulled out of her chest. Kids are sweet!

K. Must be going now...it's nearing my bedtime and I am exhausted. Blog ya later! :)

The coughing, yes I know what that is all about. I got a cough back in September and it lasted weeks, no matter what I did. My GP finally set me up with a specialist, the appointment was in December, I was all better then, but they still want to send for more tests to make sure. My wife now has a cough, oh, hopefully this does not last long. Go out shopping, buy yourself something nice, you deserve it.
