pain
I’ve had a headache all morning. Does anyone else suffer from headaches/migraines? I tend to get cluster and tension headaches, on one side of my head, or focused behind one eye. I seem to get one every week, if not more. Last week I suffered a headache at work and at one point started to see stars before I asked a coworker for medicine. If you opened my “medicine” cabinet, you will only find one medicine, and that is Excedrin extra strength migraine. I rarely take anything because I’m rarely sick, but when it comes to headaches, I try to give it a few hours before I give into the powers of the pharmaceuticals.
bummer
Well, it looks like I did not get that scholarship to attend the critical care conference. I haven’t heard anything, so I am taking that to mean it was given to someone else. Bummer.
Also, my glo bars arrived yesterday, but I was at work so they brought them to the manager’s office, but it is Sunday and they’re closed, so now I need to wait until tomorrow~ argh.
work
I had snake bite guy back yesterday. He had been on the ventilator a lot longer than expected because of a nasty pneumonia, followed by a self-extubation and re-intubation the day previously. I was anxious to get him extubated to hear the story of how one gets bit on the tongue by a snake, but I kind of already figured how. He pretty much said it was just a “dick” move on his part that he wishes he could forget. He was messing with the snake…a wild snake. He’ll be fine. In the morning before extubating him, we did a sedation vacation and he was acting appropriate, so we told him he was bit in the tongue by a snake, he was in the hospital, etc. He nodded to each account. Finally, the nurse I am working with said, “And the snake is dead,” to which his eyes got wide and he pouted his bottom lip. It was funny.
Hoping to spend some quality time with Mirza and see a movie. I haven’t been on a bike ride in awhile due to the unusually cold weather. I could have gone today, but my head was killing me. It is beautiful out right now. Probably in the low 60’s, sun shining, and clear sky.
