Ventricle? Ventricular? You nut...

Thank goodness for a sense of humor, right? It can get you through anything. Hang in there girl, he'll be home soon.

I popped on just to say a quick hello, then realized there were like 5 pages since last night!

Bummer about Shawna's DH's job. But you know what? People who are very good at what they do are always in demand. He definitely should look elsewhere, find an employer that appreciates the work he produces, not the hours he puts in. DH is in the same boat, can do the work of 3 people, puts in extra hours as necessary, but not if it isn't. He finally works for a company that recognizes and values what he brings to the table, and they are doing everything they can to make his current job/pay so good he won't even think of going elsewhere.

He worked with a guy who regularly works 80+ hours a week, but is very laid back, goofs around at work, comes in on the weekend with his kids, and maybe gets work done that a normal person would do in 40 hours. But he prides himself on working 80+ hours a week, and bosses who value that sort of behavior (rather than looking at the work he accomplishes) will keep him and promote him. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

 

[Alex2kMommy]

OK, I gotta run already. DH is home today (Yay!) and DS3 is really sprung (go figure ) so gotta keep 'em busy. Take care, G, and let us know how it goes today. I'll be thinking of you!

And thanks!

hubby has a dialysis tech that admitted he works 14 hour day EVERYDAY, except Sunday. Hubby asked "are you nuts!?"
and the guy said he does it to afford a house

Sorry if your working that much to make mortgage, then what are you going to do when you become ill.. get in accident or get hours cut at work?

ummmm maybe lose your home??

Not to mention, the dialysis patient should ask themselves" do I really want someone who's finishing up 14 hour shifts for the past 5 days, to be digging in my arm with needles and setting up my machine?"

uhhhhh
NO!

Hubby keeps an eye on every detail of machine set up, asks to look at the test strip to make sure no residual chemicals are in his reusable "kidney" dialyzer, and that the settings are correct for his dry weight, etc.

Lots of patients just let the staff do what they want, no involvement.

People have died from improper cleaning/rinsing from the dialyzers. Toxic chemicals are used to rinse out the blood and get it ready for reuse.
Some centers have single use only dialyzers, safer. But pricey and slower because they are tiny.

Waiting for Monorail in TL, CM announces that the momorail will be down for a few days in the coming week

"But as an alternative activity, you can participate in the scavenger hunt of finding your favorite monorail cast member at a tommorrow land attraction"

[MotoXPrincess99]

Have you ever accidently let them go? You have to hang on to alot don't you? Is it true that if you're balloon pops you can trade it for a new one?

 

[funnygarcia]

Oh Bernice.... You seem to be doing better now... heard anything from dh yet?

NOPE!

I'm not sure if I want to deal with the scary male nurse I talked to this morning either.

Nothing wrong with male nurses, hubby has had some really great ones on previous hospitalizations.
An ICU nurse who was extremely gentle , friendly and all around nice (told him I was a former nurse, he let me stay in the room all day-- most ICU visitors can only stay for 10 minutes once per hour).
Dialysis nurse who gave comfort/reassurance when the kidney failed and had to start dialysis again (he also let me stay with E during the dialysis run).


but this particular nurse had an attitude.

Do you want me to release my sis on them? She is CRAZY!!! She is all of about 5ft tall... but quite terrifying let me tell you!I wish I was there, so I could take you to the hospital...

I have let a few go... most is like 6. usually have around 50, have held 80 before... yes, if it pops or fly away, you cna get another one with evidence...

but if it flys away, how do you evidence?

Our guest of honor badges backs broke off, we brought them in (ahem years after purchase) and they gave us new ones.

I see they no longer write names on regualr hats, I was so bummed. We bought N a hat, expecting to have his name done on it like hubby and I had done (bought ours a few years ago , before they switched to the new machines). Found out it costs extra-- grrrrrr!

 

[MATTERHORN]

Hi Bernice. So sorry to hear about DH, please keep me updated on how he is doing. Hope you get a nicer nurse soon!!!

Well I have just been dealing with a lot of stuff (DH trying to come around, etc.) and this whole job thing is bringing me down. But enough of that, are you hyenas getting excited about your upcoming meet/?
