how about drinking?

Good morning,Loungettes!Boy did I get absolutely nothing done yesterday after the first few
hours when I got a couple loads of laundry done and played with Sadie.I had a headache Friday night, was having
trouble sleeping, took some advil and a xanax,spent most of the day yesterday very relaxed and snoozing in my comfy
recliner.Poor Sadie had to wake me up
to go to bed!OK, Loungettes, I'm going
to need a few of you in my pockets tomorrow, gonna tell the boss I can't/won't
see that patient I saw Friday, the one I had before.They are both still chain smoking, still
lying about meds, and expect Hospice to provide all the pills they want
whenever they want them.Just like before,
and I spent a good part of Friday night wheezing until I broke out the
nebulizer and dosed myself.It is so
hard for me to not provide care to a patient for any reason, but most
especially for my own benefit.Deb--Let me tell you
about my run with Tamoxifen.I started
out on Tamoxifen and was absolutely terrified that it wasn't helping because I
had NO side effects.None.I couldn't tell I was taking anything at
all.I got so scared by having no side
effects that I actually asked to go off it and go on arimidex.I hated the hot flashes, but at least I knew
it was working.With time and more
clarity, I know now that the tammi was working, I was among the many women with
no side effects, and I made a very emotional decision to change to
arimidex.So not everyone gets bad side
effects from tammi, or from arimidex, or any of the hormonal therapy
drugs.So don’t borrow trouble, try it
and see what happens.And congrats on
being so close to done with rads!Cammy--patients who
are addicted to drugs will say and do anything to avoid taking responsibility
for their problems.Nothing is ever the
fault of an addict.The docs won't give
them enough drugs, won't give them the right drugs, the pharmacy won't fill the
prescription accurately, or won't fill it when it's needed, the insurance
company won't pay like they are supposed to, and on and on.I'm not going to take this one on again.Tried and failed, time for someone else to
take over the fight.Genny--pull up a
barstool and join us!I wonder how many
of us may have had the radiation from the mammograms contribute to our getting
bc?Cammy--yet another
bit of evidence that medicine doesn't know diddly most of the time.Julie--glad you had
a good time with CynCyn and DorFarta!Have fun with Stella!I saw the
Jack Daniel Bacon Mac &cheese on FB, thanks for the link to the recipe!ORLA--I like the
"tea" cups!The best
"nerve tonic" ever made is wine!Where did you find the Unicorn meat???????????Cammy--that's a
unique way to measure snow!Princess Glitter

Hi NM--ok I have an opinion---Holy Chit yes.
U have every right to explain why u feel it inappropriate for u to care for this patient--talk about u'r nubeulizer and how sick u did get, but more importantly for some reason I think u feel guilty from pulling away, like it's u'r fault. I've never gotten that feeling from u--u are a very caring and giving person to u'r patients u always care and I know everyone arounds u know--so take it easy on u'rself--some people just can't be thankful for what u do and if they need more drugs of course will lie, but u don't deserve to be involved in their lying--U are so above that please don't feel like u are not doing the right thing. Because u are for u'r own health. U do too much good for one person to make u feel bad. So just do it--Everyone there respects you, as do we. OK I've said it now relax with u'r decision. And who cares if u did nothing yesterday and if u'r up to it do it today or not.

Please don't tell me the dogs name is Leia? Orla - too funny. I love your new avatar. Super picture! I am fairly certain there is a law against Unicorn Meat. I mean they are an endangered species, right?
Hi princesses. How's it going? Yes I love those cartoons too. Brightens my day.
Welcome to the new girls, Genny, Deb, o dear, I'm forgetting one.
Who likes their wine? Was that you Genny? Because whoever was talking about whether the should or shouldn't drink wine, should in my opinion. First, there is no medical evidence to prove drinking anything causes cancer and second, with so much going on in your life right now, normal routines are important. If yours was to work, come home and enjoy a glass of wine with your DH, then I think that's fine. Just my opinion.
NM, I have my stern voice on now. I am disappointed to here you talk about failing when you are looking after an unreasonable patient. There is no failure in you at all. The failure is all theirs. The responsibility lies on them. If you are a good nurse (which you are) and they are disagreeable (which they are) AND they are affecting your health (by smoking) then you have the RIGHT and the responsibility to yourself to see that they are cared for by someone else. Never think it was something that you did, it was all on them.
OK stern voice over. Look after yourself sweetie. Not every patient needs to be yours. I'm sorry this is affecting you so much. I'll be in your pocket with a couple of beers tomorrow when you talk to your supervisor. I'll try to be quiet.
Cami, sure is quiet today. Your flower pot filled up so you know it's 5 inches? Teehee. I love that. Why is Julie taking Stella to the UK? She sold her baby for a goat last time she went on a trip!
Julie, are you sure taking Stella to the UK is the right choice? Are they ready for her?
DorFarta and CynCyn are you still having fun? Wish I was there! Of course you're having fun! What was I thinking.

They're not Stella just members of her family just so u know who we're talking about.

well stella did behave the last time,didn't go out at all, the fact it was pouring with rain and cold probably had something to do with it.
nm -you are a wonderful nurse and these pts are a danger to your health mental and physical, we have a term for them"one shift pts"
how are all you ladies doing that are currently in active treatment?
in work tonight and i'm ready to start drinking

Ok, I'm home!!!!
Lara, back in the ER from new meds? Girl, you have such a time with everything (((((Lara))))). LOVE the new avatar! It's tiny, be we can see how cute you are.
NM, great words about how we did NOT cause ourselves to get the RB. It just SOOOO PISSES ME OFF when I hear people being told, they got cancer because they drink, or because they are over weight, etc., etc., etc. Glad you are not getting work over load. OMG, I remember the couple acusing you of stealing pain pills. Glad you asked to have that one given to someone else. OMG, you went anyways? Then had an asthma attack, on top of being accused of stealing again???
Ha ha Genny, nuttin wrong wif a good bitch slap, eh?
Hey, I just thought of something, maybe WORK caused us to get cancer???
BCdeb, is the BC for British Columbia or the dreaded breast cancer?
Cami, you are sure getting slammed with major winter there. And such sweet words to NM, you are a doll.
Welcome back Princess, I thought maybe you left us. That happens a lot here in the lounge, gals will come in for a few days, and then they leave.
Red, indeed Stella sold her baby for a baby goat, and thank goodness she was made to give the baby goat back. That girl is in no shape to take care of a baby of any sorts!
Julie, make sure you keep a close eye on dat girl. When are you leaving? Sawry bout da ruff night at work, have some chocolate and go to bed wif sweet dreams. What all did the 3 of you's do? And what time did you go to bed, or did you???
CAMI, BITE YOUR TONGUE WOMAN. STELLA DOES NOT NEED TO GET PREGGERS AGAIN. And if she does, we are sending her and the baby to you!
Oh Genny, that is a sweet picture. I assume that is your fur baby? what is his/her name?
Bernie, Kat, MemaSue, Shannon, Beans.....miss you girls, I hope all is ok.
We had a fun weekend, not too much gambling as we hung out with friends and Basia. Helped her on Friday, then on Saturday we went to Lake Havasu, went out riding with friends in their razor, and target shooting, then dinner, and then met another business associate that evening at the casino, and home yesterday morning. Broke about even with the gambling.

Lori u'r home--I'm so selfish, when u'r home everything is in place.I hope u helped (Lordy) the waitress like u planned and again u came out even--Good going. Oh I did forget the goat and Stella-

OK newbies now u see stella being nice and LilFarta(Dork) being bad.

Well , it goes something like this. We went to breakfast at a small Denny' s like place and there was a bus boy who was giving us a little too much attention and actually snuck up while he was cleaning the booth that was directly behind us and poked his head in between Dorty's and mine and said "hello ladies, can I interest you with a newspaper? We have piles of newspaper..they pile up...You can read the funniest " . Now this is all in the deepest game show host voice. Dorty left the restaurant before Julie and I and when we joined her outside....there he was hovering over her in conversation. He was creepy.
