Recovery

Wow... that knocked me on my behind! That surgery was painful and awful! I'm still hurting and taking vicodin. Apparently my wisdom teeth were very large and they had to cut them in pieces to get them out. Now I'm all drugged up and just trying to eat and stay awake. DH was an absolute prince and took really good care of me and didn't even run screaming when I threw up and passed out (he doesn't do well with vomit). I've watched lots of movies and done lots of sudoku puzzles. Now DH is on a business trip, so it's pretty lonely, but I'm starting to function again.

Wisdom Teeth

My wisdom teeth are coming out tomorrow... I'm really nervous. What's the point of wisdom teeth anyway? Why the heck do we grow them if they just get taken out? What did people do before oral surgery existed? Ugh.

Time to go make some jello...

CPR

I did chest compressions the other day. I'm a charge nurse and I've been involved in a number of code situations, but I had never gotten there in time to do compressions. I broke a rib. We got the patient back. There was a happy ending to the story, but I was shaking for an hour after it all happened. It's truly a lot of work to do compressions. I only did 2 cycles (60 total) and my arms were very tired. It was another code involving what's called a "PEA arrest" where we can still pick up electrical activity of the heart, but it's not actually beating-there is no pulse. Kind of mind-boggling.

30 weeks

I should be 30 weeks pregnant today. How very different life could be right now. Instead of preparing for a baby, we are preparing for a trip to Italy. I'm excited... but still would rather be having my baby. I have a mound of never-ending work to do for my job and am feeling overwhelmed by it all. I'm letting DH do a lot of the the planning for the trip, which is fine. He usually takes care of planning most things. We're going to Rome, Florence, Cinque Terra, and Venice. We may stop by and see Pisa if we have enough time. DH is setting up some pretty cool tours at the Vatican and a hike along the coast in Cinque Terra. I'm sure I'll get more excited about all of this closer to the time we leave. I'm feeling too overwhelmed with all that I have to do right now and preparing for this trip is just another thing to do.

Still here...

Just catching up on life (work, house chores, sleep). Not much happening...
