Well, my day. What a day. I started my first transport of the the day looking for the patients chart. I looked for awhile and decided to just find the nurse and get the patient ready. So after looking for the chart, finding the nurse, getting the ticket to ride and the linen etc. ready I go into the room just to see that respiratory is in there just starting a breathing treatment. UG. So i ask how long it will be and she says 5 or 10 minutes..(yeah right) We all know that is too good to be true so i go to distribution and pick up a wound vac for the OR, go all the way back up to the floor and the treatment is done. Just as I'm walking out of the room to go hunt down the chart again the cna makes sure to tell me that the patient I'm taking to xray has the "squirts". She says " yeah, it is just flowing out of her like water". REALLY........Well I'm thinking that it cannot be that bad and if it was at least this gal would have some protective wear on.....so not the case. She starts inching to the edge of the bed and she is sure to let me know that is is steadily coming out..all over. So i take a peek and sure enough we have a pond of poo. I make my way down to the linen cart for a new gown, new robe, wipes and new linen. I also make sure to track down the cna for a protective wear weapon. You see you learn to be a step ahead of loose stool. Its sneaky like a ninja. I grab the safeguard and weave it through the legs, yup poo all over it as it comes out the other side. Where did it come from..I DON'T KNOW. I am done talking about this..but as you can gather it was bad and long. Way way way too long. There are a lot more details that i just cannot muster up into words.
I also got news today that some people that i knew back in bozeman are losing their son today. They will be taking him off of life support sometime this evening. Yesterday he got in a head on motorcycle accident with someone else. He is completely brain dead and so his parents are having to make a really really tough decision. He is only 11 years old and has an older brother and a younger sister with cancer. You know when you hear someone say that God wont give you anything you cant handle..you really start to wonder if that's true! So my heart is really aching for them today and i just pray that God gives them peace. Nick and Jill I'm so sorry for your loss.
Whew. Okay...I gave my notice at the hospital today and that was kinda hard. My supervisor is sad sad sad to see me go. It made me feel great that i will be missed so much. But i plan on resuming in the fall. That's it for today. Goodnight.
