Part of problem solved, swopped the 2 nights for an afternoon and a day shift, so I'll have one sick day this week so thats good. THINGS WORK OUT. I say this to myself since the kids were little and I would get overwhelmed by the stuff I would have to do the next day, like needing to be in two places at once. Often a friend would offer some help just when you need it or you would just feel better in the morning. I am finding I am much better if I dont get too tired, esp emotionally. Today I am tired as I worked my two shifts, they weren't too bad except I had the high anxiety group also 2 of them were our nurses so you feel extra worried for them. Sometimes they ask you to do something but I think oh you are 30 years younger than me and I am tired. My thumb is really sore from pulling on those horrible support stocking I hate those things they particularly annoy me as the literature says they dont do anything anyway. Money for crap.
There is an ad for nursing saying 2 days are never the same thats for sure, one day our ward is a midwifery ward the next its the dumping ground for everything and anything. Two of the mums had diarrhoea which is going through the hospital and the community so I may a genuine sickie
if I'm unlucky.
I was late to tennis today as the builder came and a friend rang but I went anyway as we were going out to lunch for one of the lady's 70th birthday. The charge sister rang to see if I wanted to work this afternoon or tomorrow yuck no.
When I was driving to the restaurant I was imaging what a tsunami would do to our town as we are next to the sea. Wolfgang, our only male tennis playing said he was thinking that too. It makes me cry looking at the pictures from Japan.
