Again I have been off of here so much lately! I cannot believe I can honestly say I have been busy working, it is an okay job and I have gotten one paycheck already(and spent it on granddaughter’s b-day present which was too much fun!!!). It is a fairly easy job and will like it once my training is over so I will be in my own office. It is so different than what I have done in the past few years where I was the boss from the day I began the job I just stepped into a large dept or numerous depts. joined together and just did it. I was the one everyone came to that could fix things. Now I am putting cash register tapes in the right order on a piece of paper in the right corner and I cannot use any of my giving insight that I am my creativity and my writing means little just that all returns are stapled on the back of that sheet. And if I look at the cheat sheet one too many times an evening I must be a screw-up. I must not forget that a few years ago I was signing people into hospice without guardians or talking families into making that decisions or doctors reading my notes and knowing exactly what the issues with a resident was that week. I do so want to get back to that work again, I grew up with that as a core of my upbringing and it is an essential part of who I am. Today I was talking to my friend that has worked in skilled nursing for over 30 years and she gets so upset because she cares so much for the residents and it hurts to see how the younger staff members treat the residents. We both know the residents should be treated with respect to give them the best quality of life possible. I could just get started and continue on and on!This flu has really kicked me in the ass and I called my new neuro today and asked about steroids he wanted to wait a few days, he thought it would be better to wait I have never had a doc want to do that and the nurse that called me also said she was going to ask him about LDN and he likes it when patients want to try new things so she will return call me tomorrow. I am excited! I think that maybe peanuts are causing my migraines, I ate some of peanut butter GS cookies yesterday and wow what a bad headache! It took two Immitrex to get rid of the headache, oh whoa is me I love peanut butter, so I am going to try some experiments to figure it out.I talked to Gary yesterday after watching a Law and Order about juvenile detention facility. So needless to say I was very tearful while talking to him he is still very optimistic and he is reading and has joined a book club. I really mess him! Sorry about the earlier bit about how I seemed ungrateful for my job, I am not at all just a little aggravated no a lot aggravated about doing this and being made to feel stupid or slow about it. I feel like I can do the job I love at least part-time, I can say one thing about this company they are so wonderful and concerned about my health and needs and everyone is so kind and friendly! Time will tell how things work out I do not know what is around the bend for me as far as anything and I am still so excited about life and what the future is holding for me!!!
