I’m so tired of this

by

Hmmm I think I’m going to give up on waiting for my husband to come home. He’s been away all weekend and as far as I know -at least according to his call at 1 pm he was going to be home sometime this afternoon. However, here it is already 7 pm and I haven’t heard from him in 6 hours so I think it’s safe to say that I might as well eat alone.

Something I do most weekends lately. I’m getting tired of this.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he calls in a little while and says he’s too tired to come home or that his parents want him to do something for them so he’s staying overnight. He’s done that many times. I’m really not happy living like this anymore and I can’t wait for this to be over. We’re sort of living separate lives – we just need to officially make it official. In the meantime I need to get back to work and start pushing around both computer carts and medication carts. I need to earn money and keep busy .. get my life back.

Time to relax

by

I’m trying to relax this weekend. This past week was fairly busy. I’ve been working to get my house in order – cleaning and sorting things out, getting taxes done and on top of that I’ve also been busy trying to get my old job back. I had appointments with my family doctor and the Occupational health doctor at my workplace this past week and it looks like in a couple of weeks I may very well be working in the Emergency Ward again. Yeah!

I also saw an old friend for a little while this week too. Man his place was a mess! I guess he’s become a bit of weight lifter or something in his spare time. There was exercise equipment in one corner, magazines and xenadrine ripped reviews. He looked good though so I guess it’s working for him. He has the absolute cutest little dog. I have to get my dog and his dog to meet. I’m sure they’ll get along famously!

Ok … as I said … time to relax, that’s what the weekend is for after all isn’t it? And if I’m going to be going back to work again sometime soon I’m not going to have that many weekends left anymore because I’ll be working at least every second weekend.

New nurses uniforms

by

I’ve been on medical leave from my job as nurse in the emergency department of a nearby hospital for a few years and I’m hoping to go back to work sometime in the near future. I say hoping – hopefully. I don’t know if I’m really able to go back just yet, but I’d like to and well frankly I may have to … so with that in mind I’ve been doing things like trying to see if I really am ready to get back to work and two browsing around for nursing uniforms etc.

While I was looking around online I came across some uniforms that I kind of like at Marcus nurses uniforms. Certainly if I do start back to work I’ll need some new uniforms so I’m sure I’ll buy a few new uniforms.

Have you ever had to take a medical leave from work for a long period of time and then had trouble getting back to work again? That seems to be what I’m going through. I’m still sick, but I think it would be a good think if I could go back to work … however working in the emergency department might be too much for me, I might just have to face up to that.

My husbands job is changing

by

My husbands job at the hospital has been changing lately. For the last few years he’s worked in the Recovery room as an attendant, but the hours are changing there and the OR is in desperate need of assistants so to make up for the hours that he’ll be losing in the recovery room soon he’s been training as an O.R. Assistant for the last few months.

In fact the last few weekends he’s been finishing up his training. He does everything from setting up the O.R.s for surgeries to assisting during surgery when needed. Assisting can be anything from helping hold a patients limb or handing things to a doctor or nurse during a procedure. I suppose if his hours continue to decline at the hospital between his experience as a Recovery Room assistant and his training in the OR he’d be able to apply for Surgical Technologist Jobs at other hospitals or clinics.

Hopefully between the two departments that my husbands been working in he’ll get enough hours. As of right now he’s working 6 and 7 days a week, but that’s only because he’s training in the OR once the training is done we’ll see what happens.

Pulling out my hair!

by

Ah! I think I’m about to start pulling my hair out!

I was talking about one of my friends on my other blog. She’s dieting and she’s been doing pretty well but she keeps asking me questions wanting all kinds of quick weight loss tips. I’ve helped her out, but it’s getting to be too much.

I’m a nurse so I guess she considers me a good source for health information. I think I am … certainly if I don’t know something I’ll looking it up or ask others for info and then pass it on.

I guess I’m just a little frustrated because I’ve helped as much as I can. She’s frustrated because he weight loss has slowed and she wants to lose at least another 10 lb. I keep giving her advise (that she keeps asking for) but she does the opposite. Grrr.

Sigh ..
