I have a bad headache this morning and the only thing I'm allowed to take (because of the surgery) is tylenol. So far not really doing anything
I got a call that my surgery has been moved from the main hospital to the smaller surgery center because they needed the OR space. Apparently this should be better because, being smaller, it's more efficient and easier to deal with. But on Friday I went to the hospital for pre-op bloodwork and I learned my way around, asked questions about the day of, etc so I feel ready to go there. I know it's NBD but I still wish they didn't change it on me. Nothing I can do though and I know it will be FINE.
I'm here! It snowed again last night, it's crazy. Due to the snow drifts in the yard, my dog can't get to her regular potty area, so she's been going all over the place, including the pathway up to the patio lol.
Boo I hope your headache goes away HoneySpider! I've had an off and on one for like a week and a half. Excedrin would be amazing right now!
It snowed a couple inches or so last night and everyone forgot how to drive apparently. I was a couple minutes late to work thanks to idiots that were going 20 mph the whole way even though the roads weren't bad!
HoneySpider Sending prayers up for you that the procedure goes better than planned. I know what you mean...any time you have to go under can be unpleasant/scary/weird.

Oh ya know, sitting pantless with a paper drape on my legs at the gynecologist office. Like I have been for the last 20 mins! Why do they always do this to people?

I got fucking slapped today by a patient's husband. It was a total miscommunication and language barrier, won't go into details for privacy reasons, but what. The. Fuck. As soon as I was able, I skedaddled from that room and gave that patient to another nurse. He didn't hurt me physically (it was on my arm, hard enough to get my attention but not hard enough to injure) but it hurt my pride. My boss is aware and I've filled out an incident report.
I told my husband and he was like, "I'm coming up there. You do not lay hands on my wife, especially when she is carrying my baby." I had to do some convincing to stop him.
I didn't start crying until about 20 minutes ago. (This occurred 2 hours ago).
I wish I could have lost it on him. I had to bite my tongue so hard.
There's a bill coming up in this legislative session to make it illegal to be violent towards healthcare workers throughout the hospital (right now, it's only illegal in ERs, ICU, you know, first contact, high stress places). It's still battery though.
HoneySpider- I hope your headache goes away soon. ((Hugs)) tomorrow will be over before you know it.
wanderingenough- they shouldn't make half naked women wait like that!
pooh8402- ((hugs)) patients family members suck. I'll never forget the day I was slapped, similar to what happened to you, by a patient and it was a huge blow to my pride. Your H is so sweet though, I'm glad you could talk home down from coming up.

I feel YOU! NO one enjoys that!!
Ya know how to make a bad experience worse? Take a normally perky Wandering and send her to place she ONLY has negative associations (first ultrasound = no heartbeat, D&C follow up, another ultrasound for another loss), tell her that as a result of findings no booty this week (despite the positive OPK this morning), THEN have her run into her ADORABLE pregnant friend she hasn't seen in a while. Oh which one? The one who was pregnant the same time as Wandering the 1st time, and is far enough along in her next pregnancy to know the sex. Make sure to have her cute pregnant self ask if she is seeing me because I have news!
wanderingenough Girl....I'm sending you all the hugs and booze I can through the interwebs. Message me if you need anything today....seriously! I think you have my number as well. That's a ROUGH day!
((wanderingenough)) When DH was in the hospital a couple weekends ago his US was in the room we found out about our most recent loss. I started crying right when the ultrasound tech opened the door and called his name. He had to try and comfort me while he was going in for an ultrasound.
HUGE ((hugs)) wanderingenough. I'm so so sorry you had such a rough appointment. There really are no words.
awick14- Sorry you had to go through that as well. Both my losses were found in the same room at my OBs office (DH and I were joking that we have a "good" room and a "bad" room). Every time we've been in the bad room it brings back all those feelings, emotions, and memories- even when things were going so well with C, it was still hard to be in that room (thankfully the majority of our appts were in the "good" room). ((hugs)) Glad your DH was able to comfort you despite having his own stuff to deal with.
pooh8402- That's just wrong and should never happen! I'm sorry you had to experience that and am glad that you no longer have to deal with that patient.
I'm here! We just got back from a walk, feeding now and then going for a run before going to my mom's for the afternoon.
Today didn't start off good...C and I woke up thinking we would catch DH before he left for work but just missed him (the garage door was opening as we were walking out of the room). To top it off we had another fight last night and it's not resolved and I'm just tired of being bummed out by us right now. The gist of the fight is that he doesn't feel like I do anything all day while home (like taking care of C, who screams almost all day, isn't enough...on top of that I still manage to take a shower, run, eat, read my devotional, make dinner, make DH's lunch, vacuum, do laundry, take out trash, check mail, grocery shop, bathe C, and literally take care of C 22 hrs/day). WTF dude...I think I'm doing a pretty awesome job- get off my back! On the flip side he's frustrated because I get after him for not helping more with C when he feels like he's doing so much around the house (mainly yard stuff, his laundry, occasional grocery shop, picking up C's prescription/diapers/etc).
luv2rn4fun It sounds like you are kicking butt and taking names, new Mama!! I'm so sorry he doesn't see that. Praying you guys can get to common ground and get peace. ((hugs))
I'm not sure how.....or WHY....I got this email. I haven't purchased my husband anything from here in YEARS. (It sure as heck was not camo lingerie!) However, I got sent this gem in the email.
Whadya think about Bass Pro Shop lingerie, ladies? I know you're alll pulling out your credit cards!!

I am sending hugs to everyone! Seems like they are all needed today.
I am here in and out all day. Maintenance is working in the room that is connected to my office so I am kicked out to the therapy gym today. It is hard to get work done with all of the converstations around me.
My pomegranet seeds were fermented today. Or at least I believe they were. They smelled like wine. I couldn't eat them.
