LOL! Oh really? A trauma pt not getting surgery because their wasn't a typed sm
report in the system? Either you are exaggerating a bit or the trauma doc is an idio**. Never, in all of my years, have I known a trauma doc to deny surgery or not perform surgery due to a simple note not being typed. Emergency care if emergency care and they WILL bypass dictations with a simple use of the telephone! The trauma surgeon, in that instance, would have phoned the doc to receive any and all information on the patient if he needed any to proceed with surgery. I WISH my life as an at-home MT now were that special or important!
If no recollection of trauma, possibly could be gout, although
that usually occurs in the great toe. However, anything is possible.
Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
go to Wednesday's practice day if you can
I went to a tourny in Atlanta and aside from the Saturday and Sunday play, my favorite was Wednesday when they got to practice.
By Saturday I figured out that instead of following one set of players from hole to hole, it was better to pick a hole I liked and sat there all day. That way, I got to see every player. I think it was the 16th hole, almost 400 yards, big dog leg to the right, so I sat in the crook where I could see the tee and the first strokes landed the balls right in front of me. I wasn't that far from the restrooms and a snack shop, either :)
Lots of fun. Hope you enjoy yourself! I hope to be a volunteer at a tourney next year just to be closer to the activities and personalities.
He's right. They plug the toilet. sm
Used to clean house many moons ago for a lady who used them all the time. Cost her a fortune to clear the piping out.
Wednesday works
Hi trose,
Wednesday will work...ya get the info from the beginning of the week and what their plans for the wknd are.
A relatively new tradition.....On Wednesdays, my mother (who is 70 years young) and my sister J (46) and her daughter Pricia - short for princess Patricia (3) all have a sit down dinner at J's house....sometimes real fancy or sometimes just Sabrett hot dogs with all the trimmings....and tea parties.....1004 miles away from where I am.
I remember the teen years with the boys....art shows and portfolios, the football, track and baseball practices and games, them trying to get dressed in the back seat of the car while trying to shove something down their throats and the part time jobs....I kinda miss it.
Cat
I have already seen for Wednesday night
and I will not go into who hung on and so but sorta shocking on this end. I think it is a little different this year than last or maybe I have just forgotten how they started picking the top 12. Next Tuesday another group comes in and then from there another 12 picked, I guess. Can go into discussion tomorrow when all have hopefully watched.
I agree - the show is in the toilet. sm
I, too, have watched since the start and the writing has gone downhill. I guess Ray is off the show and Luka may be killed in a plane crash (I think?). Why did they mention the hightened terror alert at the beginning of the show? Did you read somewhere that Luka wil only be in a handful of episodes next year? Is Neela going to be paralyzed from the waist down after having people step on her? I agree that the show should be canceled. There are no stories left to tell and no solid characters.
Wednesday, May 30 for Miami-Florida
.
Two daughters go back next Wednesday
Two days after Labor Day. One starting 8th grade at a the Junior High and one starting preschool. I'm in NY.
I use A LOT more than 2 squares of toilet paper. LOL

Please watch Oprah on Wednesday
She is doing a show about divorce and how it affects children. I think she'll have experts/psychologists on to talk about ways of explaining divorce to children to make it as least traumatic as possible. Oprah always seems to get the best experts on her show, and usually they have written books that you could read too. I think how you talk to your kids about the divorce has a huge impact, and some parents get so wrapped up in their own pain that they fail to really help the kids with their heartbreak, so I think it's great you are thinking about your son first thing. So many times the kids think it is their fault for some reason.
My personal opinion is that sometimes it is better to get divorced if you are miserable, because just as we want our kids to be happy, they want us to be happy too. But, I think you have to try with everything you have inside of you first to make the marriage work, so then you can leave knowing you did everything you could to try to save the relationship (unless it is abusive in any way). I would highly recommend watching Oprah on Wednesday though. It looks like it's going to be a very moving, informative hour.
1 In 5 Adults Uses Pool As Toilet
Officials: Swallowing Urine-Contaminated Water Isn't Harmful
PHOENIX -- A new study by the Water Quality and Health Council found that nearly one in five adults admits to urinating in a swimming pool instead of using the toilet.
Eight in 10 adults are convinced their fellow swimmers are guilty of such a crime, the study said.
Nevertheless, health officials insist that swimming in and even swallowing urine-contaminated water isn't harmful to someone's health.
"Urine in itself has been purified through a whole variety of bodily processes so that it's removed a lot of the contaminants in it," said Don Herrington from the Arizona Health Department.
Swimmers should be more concerned about swallowing parasites than swallowing urine, officials said.
Last summer, dozens of swimmers in the Phoenix area got sick from pool water, forcing the closure of all 29 Phoenix city pools.
The parasite which caused the illnesses, Cryptosporidium, comes from diarrhea.
Phoenix Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Amy Blakeney urged sick swimmers to stay out of the pool.
"People who are sick need to stay home and remain at home for 14 days after they're symptom-free, especially if they have diarrhea," Blakeney said.
Though city pools electronically monitor chlorine levels, the city of Phoenix has begun to require swimmers to shower before they jump in the pool as an extra precaution.
"Taking a shower allows those materials to rinse off and go down as sewage, and then gets a clean body into the pool water, which is what we all want," Blakeney said.
Woman sits on toilet for 2 years...

um... worse is the no toilet seat covers!
what in the world???? i never even knew they DIDN'T exist until i moved to the east from the west, and they are not in more than HALF the public restrooms ive gone in... (i try to avoid these places but sometimes its impossible)...
but really that is like NEWs to me that they are no seat covers.... im assuming it is normal to everyone here that is local though?
TOO FUNNY about the hooks though... i feel the same way and haven't ever put my purse on the ground... usually they have somewhere to place it, even if its on top of the TP holder!
Worse yet - no door OR toilet seat ! - sm
I was warned about no toilet paper on a trip I took out of the country a few years ago. I was even told there would be older ladies sitting at a table in front of the bathroom who would give you 3 squares of paper for a tip prior to entering the bathroom. I was not warned about lack of seats and sometimes lack of doors to the stalls and no lock on the bathroom exiting door! I even stayed in what was their version of a 4 star hotel and on check-in had to ask for a roll of tissue (which was billed extra!). That was quite an experience!
Toilet seat cover on an airplane...sm
My mom and I were flying back from Las Vegas. We were completely "rummy" tired and absolutely everything was hilarious to us. I think this would have been funny anyway though:
There was an older gentleman on the plane and he was one of those who was always getting up and down and up and down (overactive bladder?). Well, when he walked onto the plane, we were all getting our bags put into the overhead storage and getting settled in our seats. He turned around to put his bag away and my mom and I noticed that he had a toilet seat cover hanging out of the back of his pants. He had his wife with him who was elderly also, but she didn't say anything to him. She had to have seen it because of all the getting up and down that he did. Neither my mom or I had the guts to tell him and I guess that we had a pretty spineless group of people on the flight because NOBODY told him. After we landed he walked through the terminal to get his bags with the flippin toilet seat cover STILL hanging out of the back of his drawers!!! I can only imagine his reaction when he figured out that he had had this thing stuck to the back of him for like four hours (or more) and didn't know it!!! Too funny. My mom and I still roll with laughter every time we talk about it.
My three girls start back next Wednesday, 1st grade, 4th, and 7th. nm

The sad thing is she didn't have to give them up until noon on Wednesday....
and she gave them to him today...unless she is checking into rehab again you would think she would want to spend as much time with them as possible...
Teacher forces 3rd grader to unclog toilet
ST. GABRIEL, La. — Saint Gabriel police have arrested a third-grade schoolteacher and booked her with cruelty to a juvenile.
The parents of a student at East Iberville School filed a complaint against 46-year-old Julie Landry of Plaquemine, accusing her of forcing their son to unclog a restroom toilet with his hands May 7th.
Landry has been placed on leave with pay.
Landry is a first-year teacher, participating in an alternative certification program.
Just got this at the library for our kids: Wacky Wednesday! Remember that book? haha nm

He will be 10 Monday

What a boring Monday!!! (sm)
My line count is low today even though I am working my butt off to try to bring it up. I come over here for a break and it looks like no one has posted anything new for hours. Doesn't anyone have anything exciting to say (I don't!!! was hoping you did!) LOL
Monday would be a great day to have off!! (sm)
Hope your daughter feels better soon - those antibiotics usually kick strep pretty quickly!
Go in before Monday and buy the Forever
stamp, you buy it at the current rate and it is good no matter what the postage goes up to.
Happy Monday
Just wishing everyone a happy Monday! Is it Monday already??  I worked all day Saturday, but was off yesterday. Whew. Just stretching the old back muscles a bit and then getting back to the keyboard.

Went to the semifinals of DWTS on Monday!
I was lucky enough to snag a pass to Dancing With The Stars on Monday! Wow - what a totally fun show that is! (I am SO addicted!) The dancing is even more amazing in person than it is on TV - those people are unbelievable. I just wish I could go again NEXT week, as well. I think any of the 4 couples could've won, and was sad to see Ian have to leave. Still, my money is on Apolo!
(BTW - it really is TRUE that televison adds 10 lbs... everyone there is considerably thinner than they appear on camera!)
Zip. Hub's and bud are reshingling the roof on Monday. nm
s
I agree with you. Did you see all of the "fans" on Monday? sm
Totally sickening!!! And even worse is the Falcon players who had Vicks number on their face and other visible signs on team players. Personally I feel all Falcon players who made a public show on Monday night football should be fined or suspended, and if that means the whole team is suspended then so be it!! Truely disgusting!!!!
Had lapband surgery on Monday and
To anybody out there that has had or is thinking about having lapband, the first three days are very hard but they get much easier as far as the pain goes. Now, it's a matter of learning what I can and cannot eat.
IMO, it is very much worth the hard work before, during and after the surgery that goes into this whole life changing process. Do not let ANYBODY discourage you if this is the path of weight loss that you choose for yourself.
Good Monday Morning
Good morning all.
Haven't looked at our weather yet, so I don't know what we will have today.
I just cuoldn't sleep, so up I am and just put the coffee on. Come on over and have a fresh cup of coffee and I'll make us some breakfast.
Just turned T.V. on and so now I can watch it an hour longer. I'm going to have a problem with this time change.
I should be working on our income tax, and it's a little overwhelming even thinking about it.
Just a little laundry today and that's about it.
Have a great day all of you.
Why does today feel like a Monday?
This morning after washing my face I picked up a cream I put in my hair so it is a bit more controllable, and rubbed it all over my face thinking it was my moisturizer. The 2 containers look nothing alike. After I got dressed and went to wash my hands I used my new foam soap dispenser and the soap shot all the way across the sink and all over my clothes. Then when I went to take one of my dogs to the groomers the other dog got out the front door and I spent 20 minutes chasing him all over the neighborhood. Got to the groomers and they did not have my dog down for an appointment. They did keep him, but can't pick him up until between 4:30 and 5:00. DS has a tennis match at 4:30. SIGH! I am tired already and it is only 10:45. Someone please send some strength my way!
Stamps go up 1 cent Monday
I first heard of it today, they're blaming it on the cost of gas to deliver mail. At least this time I won't have all my bills returned for a stupid 1 cent more postage, like happened last time.
how I spent my Monday morning...sm
Just wanted to say how much I missed this community while I was away...take a look at the picture I've linked...that's my neighborhood during our mandatory evacuation from the Marek Fire in California... Didn't know if I should post this here or on the mental health or prayer request boards LOL! Grateful to have my home...and my home office...next time you dread Monday morning...keep this as a reminder to renew your perspective! javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Off until Monday afternoon -- Happy New Years
Off until Monday afternoon, have a friend coming in on Saturday (female) and for the first time since I have been single, over five years, going out dancing and having fun on New Years Eve. See if this old lady still has it in her to have a night of fun. Not sure if I remember how to dance. Hope you all have a Happy New Years. 2007 is going to be a good one for me.

why is everyone so mean on a monday? geez, how would you like to be shut up in a house never to go
i had a dog get attacked and killed about a month ago by another dog in my own fenced back yard. never seen the attacker dog before in my life nor again since the incident. you can't always protect your pets just like you can't always protect your children, but yet you have to give them some freedom. would you lock your children up in the house never to go outdoors because of the violence? i think not. the OP has a valid point and her SIL is being extremely disrespectful and careless with her dogs.
to the OP, i would tell MIL that she is responsible for those dogs while they are in "her care" and to do whatever it takes to keep them off your property. you have the right to protect you home, your property, and your animals. i'd get a bb-gun and shoot them until they learned to stay out of your yard.
We have snow flurries and 20s today. It was 65 Monday...sm
gotta love this crazy winter we're having!
It's Monday...What's for dinner tonight folks?
Cat here....Been wondering what you've all been up too. Been kinda lost as well considering my computer died over a month ago and was finally resurrected this morning.
Tonight's fare will be venison pot roast style (about 4 hours on top of the stove) with string beans and potatoes side, hot water cornbread and strawberry jello for desert.  Cat

Did mine Monday, tiny refund $58 - sm
and "accepted" by the IRS on Monday night, so all done. Just need to print out the state, sign and mail off with our payment to them by May 1. Will probably do that over the weekend then will be all done.
I went to a strawberry pickin' farm Monday. The owner sm
told our large group of homeschoolers (both moms and dads) during our tour that he had to learn the hard way that women make THE GREATEST strawberry planters. He said he hired a bunch of men one year and that was the last time he did that. He said now they are all women - they take their time, take pride in their work, and just do something for the soil where he has huge, gorgeous berries whenever they plant them. All the women there broke into applause. I thought it was so funny. I just liked seeing a man actually admit to something like that.....
Lucky Gwyneth!!! Go ahead, make your Monday :)

This man gives me chills!!!
When it happened before
about 5 years ago it was about 3 months after the birth of my first child. I have an 18 month old and she was born via C section. I had a pap smear about a month after my 18 month old was born and it was okay. Just the one in April has come back abnormal.
Oh boy! I'm really sorry that happened. SM
I don't blame you or your son for not inviting him to wedding. But perhaps, just perhaps, you should have. I have a feeling ex-hubby probably realized he made a huge mistake long ago and is sorry for it. He is probably now taking that anger out on you. If he continues, (gulp), try talking calmly to him and tell him you understand how he feels. If he has shown any atonement, see if your son would meet with him, briefly.
It takes a lot to show forgiveness. Be the better person.
That happened to me too.
I gave a HS gal money for her grad, never heard a thanks. Then I gave her $ when her baby was born a few weeks later. I thought well she doesn't write thank you notes apparently, but the next time I saw her at a picnic, she didn't even say thanks. I still think thanks are necessary when someone gives you a gift.
What ever happened with that?
NM
Happened to my mom . . .
she was a little devastated at the news when she read about pulmonary fibrosis, but turns out she didn't have it at all.
This happened to me before, too, SM
This happened to me once. I was taking a walk this time of year (late October) when a TON of blackbirds flew up. They landed on all the trees, telephone poles, etc. all around me. It was really creepy.
Even though you're having a warm day, they probably are getting ready to fly south.
Hey! Maybe something happened
to my husband when he went through Roswell, NM on a trip for work!! He didn't see any UFOs or aliens but plenty of ads. He sure has selective memory on many occasions!
