After the exhibit, we made a quick stop at Trader Joe's and then ate some delicious avocado egg rolls from The Cheesecake Factory. Then we came home and crashed on the sofa. So nice to be home for once!Only one more week of nights, and then I'm switching to days!! I only had to put in 3 months of nights before the switch, so I can't complain. At first I was pretty bummed to switch--I love the night nurses, the pace, the vibe of nights so much more than days. But days is just so much more conforming to living in an 8-5 world. I'm not looking forward to getting up at 5, but I am looking forward to sleeping in my bed every night!!
Crazy work moment of the week: Walking in on my patient, who delivered 2 days ago, and her husband getting busy in her hospital bed. I knocked, she answered, walked in and they abruptly sat up and sat on opposite sides of the bed facing away from each other. Uhh....awkward!! She asked for Percocets, I left to get them, came back to the room, knocked, she answered, I walked in, and caught them again!! They pulled away from each other, and then I noticed the baby was in between them!!! What is with these people???
Who's thinking of that after pushing out a kid? Eeps.

Yuck! I don't know about other people, but that was the last thing on my mind after having a baby. She must have been feeling pretty good! I can't believe you have already been a nurse for 3 months now. Time sure flies!
I would always sit in awe during class and just think about how lucky I was to have a body and to think that everything I was learning was happening right then to me. I get sad when I think about the harmful things people do to their body...usually these thoughts occur while I'm wolfing down ice-cream!
No way!! I have never heard of a woman wanting to even touch her husband after she delivers!! WTF?
Maybe her epidural was still in effect so she felt nothing because even after 6 weeks post-delivery it felt like Eric had a condom made of sand paper on.
That is so unbelievable! It is amazing to me that they were going at it again when they knew you would be coming right bak with meds. Some people have no brains.
Also, the new camera that we got is a Canon PowerShot A590. We like it so far, and it was not that expensive on Amazon.
i think you were giving her too many percocets.
Wow-- that's a pretty crazy story. Did you feel the need to do some teaching about the "6 week rule". Several times, when I was working in the NICU, I had a few dads ask me if they really had to wait 6 weeks-- because according to one dad, "She only had a c-section." Stupid men.
