Rick's stress test was positive. They found something when they put his heart under duress. A lack of oxygenation of the heart. So he's to not stress his heart and we go see a cardiologist soon. Rick confessed he's been having chest pain off and on for about a year. Why he didn't tell his wife/nurse I don't know. Probably cause I'd make him go to the doctor. I hope we caught this in time. The doctor mentioned a heart cath, do we'll take it from there. Yes I started a new job. And yes I'll be there for hubby NO MATTER what they say or if I lose that job. I'll find another. My family has always come first. And will always be first.

Averaging 800-1000 calorie days. More than 130 ounces of water a day. No weight loss yet. It's been more than a week. I had 2 low blood sugar episodes last night. I felt hollow inside this morning. And I suppose I sets elf up for a bit of a binge. Lol. 2 waffles. Now I'm seriously wishing it was one.

PS......any inside track on a RN job let me know. Or shoot me a message. I can't afford this current job. Talk about paycheck sticker shock!!!! I can't even afford gas. Shouldn't be that way as a nurse.
Come to work hacking and NOT covering your mouth. THANKS!! NOT! I'm sick now.
I've got to take hubby to the doctor this am. As stated previously he worked octoberfest and for him it started Wednesday. And it's 26+ days in the hear on his feet. I was unable to work it as well and I think he over did it, as he has had +3-4 pitting edema in his ankles. This is first time ever. But it needs to be be sourced out. Is it cardiac or is it renal? And I have a sisters maturity shoot with Aiyana Tewa Bell this evening. So prayer for stamina would be awesome and that the doctor gets us in this am. Ty

I need to ask for prayers. My grandson had a siezure this past afternoon and was taken to the ER. He will have to have an EEG and MRI Friday. It was out of the blue he is 8mnths old. I so wish to be there as I have to work, but both my daughter and SIL will be there. And my youngest Lanie slipped and fell down a flight of stairs at school. The whole flight. She denies injury but I'll have a chance to see for myself soon. All this and it's Octoberfest weekend for our family soooo basically 16+ work days through Sunday. TY in advance

I remember. I thought our country would change. It did but not in any way you'd thought. Our vets aren't first. We let millions demand rights and "entitlements" they have no right to as they aren't citizens. They are criminals. We are weaker. Our government is aligning it's self to be socialist / Marxist. Our government undermines local police forces and is attempting to end our health care system as we know it. Soon it will be a federal police state with federal military sent to every town city and state. We will no longer have independent control of our states. And the health care? Well the government can't get it right for our veterans. How in the world did they think they could handle the whole country. One vet is still waiting has been for 6yrs. He's dead now. Died waiting. We must curb federal intrusions. END ENTITLEMENTS. STOP ALL AIDE TO ANY NON AMERICAN. Stop paying for foreigners to go to college for free here and educate our own. Open more trade and skill training centers. Stop poisoning our food and environment. Start thinking small local. Sustainable. Clean up energy. Get main stream affordable solar. Offer tax credits. Big ones. Start encouraging citizens to grow food in front yards and putting up food. Just small ideas

Poor Chunk. He is grieving over Lanier being gone. He was acting crazy and throwing up before she left for months cause she was packing and stuff was being moved. Now. Chunk vomits many times a day. We've changed foods. I've add stomach medicine. I've been spraying that calming spray. We've done cat nip. I don't know how much more we can handle. He's ripping his hair out and he's chewed off a few nipples. We have added play time. We go get him and love on him. We try to draw him out but all he wants is to hide in ladies closet. I'm afraid we are heading to the vet. He has been on nerve pills in the past. They don't work. And we've tried antidepressants. For him. I don't want to put him to sleep. I don't know what else to do

@NicoleArbour @YouTube I am a nurse and I agree with you. There are conditions that obesity can't be helped entirely such as thyroid, PCOS, even diabetics are now thought that it's a normal response to high sugar to gain weight, muscle and bone injuries. But fat folks cannot take care of themselves or work someone has to wipe that butt. Their medical bills are astronomical. They end up on disability. Do you know how hard it is for 3 staff members to move a 350 or 400 or yes even 500+ person. And JS but the obese patients I've seen are NONCOMPLIANT with their diet. GORGE themselves and don't even make an effort. But I'm suppose to pay taxes so they can stuff their faces on the tax payers dime. #fatshaming. And yes I have obese family members. I've watched family members struggle. But they were doomed to fail. It is seen as a deprivation but it's about choosing healthy. Fad diets don't work. We have to move. We have to drink water. We have to control portions. We can have treats. I don't hate fat folks. We have to work in conjunction with our health care team and society needs to stop hating fat and help each other. I am sympathetic. But we as a society have to step up take responsibility for our weight. For our finances. For OUR BEHAVIORS. #wakeupamerica

NO I do not think we should open our doors to some of the refugees. PERIOD. International news is making a big deal over 800,000 refugees. But we here in America have millions of illegal intruders and their tether babies and I don't see a big deal being made.

Lorraine reminded me today to be positive. I don't know what happened but once we hit the interstate I just was hit with a wave of anxiety. Uncontrollable unfiltered anxiety. I became negative. Was so for most of trip until hubby held my hand and helped me take a deep breath then stopped and got me a chocolate milkshake. Maybe I took to much Diabetic meds. I don't know but it was hard to breath. And Lorraine sensed it. I realized she kept checking me out. Watching my face. She teared up a few times for no real reason. She in small ways acted out. She sees me as this person who mostly but always shows up when Mommys weak and sick. I swoop in scoop them up and take care of them. So I think she sorta looks at me as a stabilizer?? So this insightful little thing was upset because she was reading my face. Wow!!!! When it hit me. It hit me hard. And instantly I changed. From that moment not one tear. It was smiles and laughs. People if a 2 yr old is that insightful to the emotional atmosphere think of the energy we send out by every word. Expression. Comment. And action. It was powerful. This little girl reinforced a major lesson. TY little one!!!!!

I spoke with Dr Prickett and he wants me to go back to River City. I'm humbled and flattered by his praise. Most of us nurses get so little praise. It's mostly why didn't you do this or that we leave often feeling defeated or a failure. I don't ask for complementary feed back. I just keep doing my best putting patients first. It's great to know that someone who never said it to my face noticed. I grew so much at River City both in my compassion with patients but with myself and coworkers. Again I say it's enough. I am enough. We are all enough! I'm thankful for each moment. And every kindness. God bless you today

Ok so I don't normally do testimonals.....but I'm a firm believer that when you feel your higher power working in your life... share the hope..... if you saw my post over the weekend I had professed to be humbled and open to divine intervention..... I states I was open and accepting. So with my former job situation.... I didn't really want to leave but felt pushed into it..... to that end I felt I had to live with missing those that I think are so awesome and the patient care my job let me do..... I thought that was it..... but then Admin changed up...... corporate intervened and things got shaken up and changed. Friday I called and spoke with Vickie about possibly returning to work......I had mention that for me to return it would entail a humbling on BOTH parts and that it would all be what it would be..... to me it seemed a prime time to return with all the changes going on.......Ive been praying hard for a long time.... so anyway Vickie said she'd have to get approval..... its been mostly 2 days since I spoke with her and I had left a message 5 days before that..... so it felt to me I wasn't welcome.... and that fine since I have a job..... and don't really NEED to change. But I miss so many coworkers..... its the first place that started to feel like home to me since I worked at DMH........well I get to work... have a moment and checked my cell phone...... Dr Prickett had called me and left me a message ASKING me to come back to work at River City.......talk about flattering and making me feel better...... it also was clearly the hand of my higher power working in my life..... I just call the Assistant Admin.... left a message..... we'll see...... so again I say I have faith ....... I am in no rush...... I accept what I have as enough...... there are some pretty GREAT people working at USA as well.......f thought I'd share because it is clearly an answer to a request......

I really do not like the lead actress in Fear the Walking dead. She does MOT ACT LIKE the mom of a teen drug abuser. She acts military & bossy. Her emotions are of one note. Doesn't matter the up. The down. The fear or love. Her expression and emotional tone is all the same.

Here's my post I'm faking it till imake it? Nbbbbj
Somebody's gonna get their nutz cut off. JS. Watch out. This craps old.
So I decided to lie to myself and say I'm fine. I did not go to the doctor again. I went to work. My spider bite looks done better. But every step any jiggle of my abdomen HURTS. I just want to cradle my gut. Something's up. Not sure what but I think if the ABTs were gonna work they woulda already. I don't want to be a puss and go to doctor all whiny.

I'm really struggling. I'm asking for prayers. I'm still having severe abd pain. Nothing has helped. Eating hurts. Not eating hurts. My abd is severely bloated. It hurts to walk. Even deep breathing hurts. Top that off I got spider bit Friday night and I think it was a black widow. I've been doing baking soda on it. But it's red hot swollen and turning into cellulitis. I almost asked rick to take me to the ER. And I don't do ER's. Only the strength of will has kept me from going. I am going to have to go to doc office in am. I'm suffering. It's been days of pain now. Going on the 4th week. I'm on 2 antibiotics and neither one has help my stomach OR the spider bite. I'm tired. Can I throw in the towel?

I'm just warning ya I'm a wee bit tipsy.... been nursing a bottle of wine while cleaning the kitchen. Today I hid my pain and discomfort well.... I did nothing strenuous but I took my daughter to Montevallo.... I did not cry .. I did not make a scene.... I didn't even linger. I guess when I started buying stuff one year ago in preparation that was my way of coping. I feel like it all might hit me really hard here at some point .... Lanie is all moved in...Dorm room looks good but honestly.. Connie Holaway Hulsey it could use your touch... you are just so creative.... that said we didn't do to bad.... the vehicles were unloaded at 930am and stuff was carried up at 10am, I stayed up stairs and cut tape.... lol..... good excuse right? we had her squared away buy 130p.... we lingered till 215 she had an orientation at 4p, Rick wanted to stay till after 3p but I thought she needed time to wander or just relax.... he was tense but decided we'd go......I hugged her by with last minute safety advice. and we left..... I love my husband but other than once a year on a cruise we haven't really been alone since we dated. I hope this new time in our marriage is or can be like we are dating again. with all this and my mom having health issues as well as 2 aunts and then my new job.... I am feeling anxious and ambivalent .......hence a bottle of wine... late night kitchen cleaning.... also I would like to add........ I knew I would miss those from River City.... but not this much I miss everyone.... the patients..... the coworkers..... I grew so much there .... I so want to go back.... I really really really do.... nothing is ever perfect.... sure i felt forced into my position of resignation..... but i miss it all....... I had time to do nursing.... I run so much and see so little of the patients on the night shift.... they are asleep rightly so.... but still...... Ive waxed on and on..... so many changes in this life.... I must have faith.... if I am suppose to be at River city the lord will humble me and those involved and a door will open..... or life will I don't know.... I just have faith that the next course of action will fall before. I have grown so much this year spiritually. I turn to prayer so freely now.....for others and myself. I get all turned around inside trying to define God or my higher power.... its there..... undefinable and I have faith.... I am open to the next chapter in my life. whatever is in my higher good I am ready..... that said please lord no deaths... and while I'm asking I could do with a few less health issues..... just saying.... your will be done.... but if you're listening .... I had to say..... God bless everyone.....

I was off tonight because we are moving Lanie Bell today to college. My doctors note is for yesterday today and Friday. I'm off the weekend. Back on Monday. SO I'm technically missing 2 days of work. AND NONE OF IT WEEKEND SCHEDULED DAYS. And I've been told that missing 2 days triggers so many points that I will POINTS OUT. 2 days with a doctors excuse means I'm fired. Honest to God.

I guess there's not much worse than being sick and having to move your daughter to college. So I'm dealing with Physical illness while facing a major Emotional life event. Complicated by the fact my daughter has had had congenital health issues her whole life and we as a family are probably tighter or I don't know. I just know my last chix is leaving the nest and is so far away. And if she were to become sick Mom can't make it right. Time for her to grow up and deal. Well I am the grown up and not so happy about it.

We are now arguing the legalities of removing illegals and their tether babies. All here illegally abusing an amendment never meant to shelter invading Mexicans. Really people. They are arguing the legalities of deportation. I don't give a crap. Go Trump

For the LIFE OF ME why can I not get patients to understand that Carafate/Sulcrafate is a melt tab meant to be dissolved in H2O. It comes ONLY in a quick dissolve tablet or a liquid. And by taking it as a tablet they actually create issues like ulceration, failure to coat esophagus, and not least of all FREAKING CHOKING!!!!! It's melted so that it coats the esophagus and then into stomach if it gets that far. And nurses that don't do annoy me because those taking it are usually elderly and have swallow issues anyway. GEESH LIOUSE

May I see the hand of the fallen and be given the strength to lift them up. May I see myself with the same love, accepting the flaws. I kneel in your grace and say but not by will but yours'. And all this I pray for each of you.

I'm so not happy right now. We've had one mature mated pair of O'sprays here at Wheeter Wild Life Refuge on the river right on 67 for many years with many clutches raised. We have had a lone male for about 3 years building his best to attract a mate which he got one this year. Well one of them is dead on hey 67 this morning. I called and left message for the wild life office. I'm just sick. This rare wonderful large raptor dead in it's breeding prime MIND YOU WHILE ITS RAISING ONE CHICK!!!! Now the single parent will have to attempt it alone. Which is not likely to be successful. Please pray. I'm just disgusted Doesn't look purposeful but we humans leave a lot of carnage don't we

Happy birthday to my first born. It's been an adventure in this life with you. I've seen your independence and your creativity grow. I been blessed to see you become a young woman and then a wife and a business women then a mother. You are the reason I am who I am. Through all our ups and downs I only wished to protect you. But I'm not sure you needed that. You are strong. You are bold. I love you so very much. My life is blessed for having you in it.

When did we as an inclusive society decide it's ok to teach kinds to not respect people. It starts at home with discipline or lack of. They don't respect parent siblings then teacher and the education system fails because parent expect teacher to be everything and no learns then it's disrespect of authority. Kids are to good to do minimum wage jobs. Cause that's what those jobs are meant for never meant as a career unless you move up in management. And so many aren't responsible enough to move up. They're actions. It's rude to police. Rudeness to counter help. It's a sickness now. Like people use it for attention. It's turned into a disease a cancer in our society.

Y'all know I don't cuss. But I'm so mad if I don't vent somewhere I'm gonna pop. I'm so tired of MF's. They are everywhere. Hold my hand and pray with me at the start of the shift then "diss" while making it look like a joke. Make me the brunt of your shit. Peyge Sims knows the hard nurse I can be. I went into this job trying to be a kinder friendlier team player. But some people must think I'm to stupid to see through the BS. It took me 4 days over 2 weeks to figure it out. But you want the bitch charge nurse well you got her. You keep doing you while praising Jesus with your mouth but sinning inside with your foul ugly hearts. I will never again hold your hand in prayer. It's about time I found my back bone. And my voice.

I don't know why but I'm feeling sad. I have no reason to be. I started a 7 day trial on Plexus Slim. I've recently spent time with both Lorraine and Rowan. I spent an afternoon in the pool. My husband is building me a "nail shelf station" for my nail supples. Since I've given in to this new hobby. I'm getting the feel for my knew job. Is it that everyday brings me closer to the day Lanie goes to college. And life changes. I've always loved spending time with my husband but doesn't the dynamic change when it's just the two of you? I don't know. I've nothing to be sad over.

I've posted a lot of opinions today. I had been doing well as of late not doing that. I mean I thought I had. But anyway I've been up more than a day so far and when I get tired I don't hold my tongue well. But I can't stand abuse of children, animals, women, elderly, spouses, FREEDOM, and abuse of immigration. These are my issues. I do not mean to offend. And I know it is better to keep this stuff to myself. I don't see these issues as drama. I see it as taking a stand for something. Drawing a line and saying here no further will I retreat. I do not mean to offend but more to light a flame. For you to find out where your line in the sand is..... AND STAND!

I just wanted to say I have the best husband in the world. He always picks up my prescriptions. Goes to my doctors apts when I need him too. Whatever I'm into he goes out of his way to be supportive. As in buying me a bookcase he can remodel into a "nail station" for me. He does more than his share of housework because with my suckie health I'm not often up for much. He does the yard work. Feeds the dogs. Does his own laundry. I just can't say enough kind things about him. Ohh he can cook and grill a mean steak. I may have pulled the short straw on health but my man knows how to buy my chairs. ps random movie reference there. I love him with my whole heart and thank god for him everyday.
I just wanted to say I have the best husband in the world. He always picks up my prescriptions. Goes to my doctors apts when I need him too. Whatever I'm into he goes out of his way to be supportive.

I think there's not a thing in the world wrong with my heart but stress. I blazed through. Heart jumped up in under 12 mins but my BP never really went up. All good strong indicators. So my inner nurse says it's all good.

My Kiffy chillin once momma got home
I did my first real shift at my new job orienting. It's a BUNCH of patients. But I'm beginning to feel I did the right thing. I miss my routine. I miss my patients. I miss the comfort of the familiar. But I'm open to the new path before me. God bless

Well just finished doctor apt. I'm 80% likely to have an MI in the next 6 months. On 3 new meds and scheduling a stress test and a cardiac ultrasound. Told to not do anything strenuous but to walk. Maybe my chest pains have been real. My labs meant it was not diet affect. Good news I've lost 8lbs in the last month. So I got that back on track. Doc said it was shocking how bad and how fast my labs changed.

Great night with one awesomely sweet little girl. Posted pics earlier. She dragged me around this house and bonked me in the head with her balloon. There was laughter. And squealing. Good medicine for my soul. She amazes me with her observations. Her laugh. I hope with my new job and reduced hours I won't have to go so long in between our "Lorraine fixes"! She remembers where everything is. And checks to make sure it's still there LOL. It's a trip to our room to get some lip balm. Then it's explore the GKids room to make sure all is well. The it's chase the MiMi around. But she calls me "My". There is the usual chase the kitties. And then tease the doggies. She seems to like Sarg the most. Then it's her supervising me moving her high chair into place. I taught her to stick her finger in the peanut butter jar tonight. Lol. At one point she had us both in the gkid room and she picked up this padded toy whacked GDaddy on the butt with it and said BAD GDADDY! I peed I laughed so hard. I love running and chasing and squealing with the munchkin. Next visit. We are building blanket tents. I spent this morning getting Rowan slobber kisses. Ohhh and I painted Jessica Diane Zelaya and Sissy's finger and toe nails today. GREAT DAY. Again I say. If the lord takes me now my heart is full. God bless

Have we forgotten? I think we have. 9-11.........America and the idea of FREEDOM is under attack and has been for a long time. The sheeple are distracted by the controlled media. What wear, what to buy, what to eat, fear this fear that, they want us on the hamster wheel so we endlessly chase the next thing. We start to get organized and its race baiting. It's always something. Homosexuality. Other countries. Other governments. We are lost. Our lives are not our own and we sow the seeds of a bitter crop. I have lots of opinions. And they are only that. I will continue to make love my guiding star. I am blessed and have more than enough. Soon to be less with my new job LOL but I will gain self respect, and a new chance so I am much richer in spirit. Walk softly and carry a big stick.

First ever on the job screaming fight that nearly went physical. I'm shaking spitting mad. And I already reported this person once. Hence why she felt it's okay to call me a liar.

Will say as dawn breaks on my last day at my current job. It sure is funny you're only important in as far as you can be used. It's humbling and a big dose of reality bites. Ways part. That does not devalue time served. Or the hours given in loyalty. I walk away head high. If I was meant to remain at this job someone would have made sure my "issues" were taken care of. I will sorely miss many here. And am just as sure that I WILL NOT BE MISSED by many more. Either way GO EASY DUDE.

I need a bookcase 7ft tall and at least 36inches across
Thursday, July 2, 2015
I made it 56hrs off my medications. I would never tell a patient to do what I did. But I wanted to try. I take so much everyday. I just wanted to know what it felt like again to just be in my body. All the medicine I take effects me. My energy. My outlook. My drive. My ambition. And honestly my memory too. At 24th hour through the 40th. It was awesome. Energy. Clear mind. Active. Hadn't been there in a while. But I could feel it all lurking. Building. I can't walk right now. My legs are so bad. My feet are numb with that needle prickling. Every joint is cracking. My head is thumping hard. My ears are ringing. I received a spider bite on my thigh while being all energetic and cleaning. And in 12hr with antibiotics in my system before to buffer it. It's red swollen pitted. I've a rash across my low back radiating from the bite. My hearts beating so hard it's in my throat. AND YES FOLKS I remember I did it to myself. I ain't complaining. JS! Lol. It's one thing to know you take meds that you have to or life threatening complications will occur. But another to be brought to your knees so fast. I won't be repeating this experiment again. I'd rather take my meds like a good patient. And work an extra shift here and there to save for Lanie. My doctor is still gonna have to have a wake up call that I can't handle all her consults. Hehe. Alright this hard headed nurse has been taught a lesson now let's all learn from this people. TAKE YO DAMN MEDICINE!

Tonight's dinner: fresh herb roasted chicken in celery and onions, with onion sautéed fingerling potatoes with fresh dill, paprika, cayenne pepper with splat of sour cream. I hurt myself eating.
I've had a few health issues this year. Well I always do but I've had new ones to deal with. I gained 20lbs on a new medicine Belsomra for sleep that was the only change band as is posted I was down into the 160's before that. So all the work over 3yrs gone. Even with 800 calorie diet I gained. But if Belsomra for 3 weeks and I've lost 6lbs. I'm going to announce a few next. I decided to stop taking all my medications. My heart pills. My blood pressure pills. My diabetic pills. My daily antibiotics. It's over 300$ a month most times near double. Several reasons. My doctor has planned 3 specialist consults. I've moaned about those expenses previously over 1500$ estimate so far out of pocket. I can't afford it. I have a daughter going to college and two grandkids. And I do like to actually spend some money on myself too. So in all honesty when I don't comply with that treatment plan which includes a cardiologist a stress test more mess and Neuro with mri's and more tests not to mention the sleep hormone study out of pocket. Well when I don't do that she won't want to be my doctor anymore even if it's because I can't afford it. So why wait to not have a doctor? I'll do it now. No more medicine. If I get sick I'll go to a doc in box take my chances. I've do delusions to what come next. Headaches out of control. Chest pain. Severe body pain. Muscle rigidity. Crippling joint pain. But I've learned to. Deal with a lot in my life. I can find a way to deal now. Besides the money I save on meds and copays will put my daughter through college for 3 years. I turned in my notice for full time at river city and offered to remain PRN. Whether that happens remains to be seen. But I will now be joining the USA group. It will be less pay. BUT NO OVERTIME. I'm so tired of working overtime every payday on a MANDITORY bases and still getting asked to do more on top of that. My job taught my to be compassionate and how to show it. My job helped me learn to connect with people better. I am thankful for that. But I felt the lords hand in my life opening new doors and I trust what comes next. There are people at that job I will never forget and love. I pray we continue to stay in touch. I maybe share to much on Facebook. The last year I've tired to be more reserved and private. Sometimes successful and other moments not so much. I am blessed. And hope each of you find comfort and know whether near or far I love you and I am sending you light and healing always

Not meaning this petty. I'm going to make a lot of people very happy soon. People who have been nice to my face but really don't like me. That's life though. I appreciate the pretence. We all have to do this. Make nice to have a community. To socially have peace. And you see how "well" that works out by listening to the news. PLS pray for me. I'm doing the best I can in this life. I'm so tired of feeling like a failure.

Things are changing for me in a way didn't plan. Part of it make me feel bad. Makes me feel like I broke my word. But we are allowed right? For the right reason. I have so much love for people in my life. I feel guilt and remorse but hope.
