Ohhhhhhh the horror........the chaos..........the mad, mad place called the ER.
Yeah, try from 5:30PM..........and got out at 11:00PM...a tad later actually.
People are bizerkker................crazed lunatics.........and my mom was big time sick and messed up...........and we thought it was a stroke.......oh and the whole ordeal of the BP and the tachyacardia and heart rate.........and the coumadin level...............blah blah....................blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
So, O.K. I got to say this..........it is packed..........packed.............and at least with her heart rate and all they take her right away..........BUT let me tell ya......I'm saying it.............SPANGLISH...........it makes me want to scream.....either speak English OR Spanish, but no way with the Spanglish, alright...........cause now I got a headache..........and praise all good things for my brothers..............cause they sure are there for us..........and honestly ya only need but one person there........please as one got three teens......well a young adult too...........and they all need that car to get to work........and I don't trust none of them there teens..........so I say go HOME!........my other brother is having open heart surgery...........and like some new fangled sort of pretend ticker put in the end of June..........no, I don't need another A Fib in here..
Then they got a kid next to my mom..........now I KNOW how awful it is when your child is hurt...........and little kid slid into first base........and needed stitches..............the dad was so dang jumpy..........they give him the needle to numb it and the dad LEAVES..............LEAVES........and the mom was speaking another language................does anyone know what language she is speaking and the screaming six year old..............he ain't saying what language...............O.K. so fine, but let me tell ya we had stitches enough to sew half of America together growing up...........and yeah ya let out a yelp with that needle............and then ya started to cry as they sewed.
My dad used to say............."Awww, knock it off now it's a few stitches it'll be over and you'll still be crying"..............true dat...........you kept crying and he demanded "Knock it off and SOLDIER UP".............so ya did...yeah, yeah I'm a whiney old recovering addict...........but the screeching and they kept saying "Now we're going to clean it and it'll sting"...............ARE YOU NUTS?
Don't tell that kid nada............just hold him down and get on with it......and the dad LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And mommy was confused and I felt bad for her......and the kid repeated over and over "I don't want it".
I'm then in the hall when they take her for tests...........whoa, cute guy with some ill ink.......scorpions on his feet and stars from his forearms all the way up his neck...........and they just leave him high and dry on a gurney........he goes "Hey do ya know when they'll take me?"...............nope.........he says "I walked off a roof".............OUCH.............and there it was the sodium bag..........and dang if they hadn't not just hit that port thingie with something good cause he went OUT.........right there and opened his yes and smiled at me...............ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I do know that smile........and dude ain't had no idea hopw it felt to fall off a roof cause he got him some demerol.....yeah, yeah I asked..........I'm like "Well looks like they hit ya up with something good"..........I think it's demerol...........YEPPER!
I felt like stealing that bag and port.........and getting on the gurney..........cause I got antsy..........and I was worried.........and PO'd............and I thought
"Stupid, and God forbid ya truly got hurt someday and ya needed that and you were using and they'd never give ya enough for your tolerance.
Yeah, LIFE CLEAN...........that's how ya roll...........that's the way it got to be.
Ughghgh..........now my mom is getting sick.........UGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
How is your mom tonight? I hope that she is feeling better....
I read your posts and want to laugh and cry at the same time. Me I would have held the kid down. I think I did more then once, there is no other way when the child can't breath and needs that iv now, or the meds now. The hubby would have booked. I could never understand that. He always leaves, he turns white, starts to sweat and to literally itch. I thought he hated them and it seemed so odd, now I know it drove him crazy to see one, and made him lust......
Man with ill ink ( hmm ill ink, no ink is ill, lol ) Walked off a roof....Damn I am shaking my head......
Hang in there
Love,
Tina

WOW Bryn sounds like a real crazy night you had there. You know i "use" to want to be a ER nurse "because i like the choas" never know what's coming along type job. It takes a TON to gross me out. It's a job i feel i'ld like. I have a relative who is a ER nurse she says it's a lot of paper work and general dealing with peoples bull****. She got burned out quick.
Then getting into recovery I KNOW I could not take giving shots and pain meds the urge to use would be way to much i'ld lose that job and get junked out in the process.
Family choas is a major stress factor in my life too it takes a toll on you emotionally. Hope your holding up remember this too shall pass.

How is your MOM?
Thank you for asking my frisky little kittens........O.K. so I steal that off Craig Ferguson.......I think it's funny......because I am easily amused.
She's good..........much better, but still got a "dead leg" is what she is calling it......got her an appointment with a orthopedic............they did a dopler I think it's called and no, no, no blood clot.........I guess not when you with the coumadin out da roof...........my one sibling he's a comfort "It ain't no stroke cause her speech would be effected. Whas she talking? Don't tell me. Plus her arm would be dead too so not only will you have to run around for her you'll have to be her arm"............he's a smart a*s..
I can tell you she has one of those braces that's like well I don't know the fabric, but it's really hot..........and has the velcro straps.......they told her do not walk on this...........don't she go getting washed and dressed and leaving last night...........I'm like where are you going? Oh outsdie I ain't letting these neighbors think this will keep me down..........GO FALL GO AHEAD FALL!
Yeah, ZG, man you would be good at that...........yeah this is your RN Zero Girl.
Indeed you don't like things predictable...plus you could pass them boards easy.........and indeed I know you got the family chaos and drama too.
Tina, WOW let me tell ya I for a minute thought that about this kids dad.....like maybe he wants that rig..........hey, ya never know........he was mighty white too..........Tina, you sounding like that film where Debra Winger gets sick and the mom flips out screaming "GET MY DAUGHTER HER SHOT"........I forget who that was........Terms Of Endearment"........seems like a Cher moment to me............yeah Loula Bella's the way my mond works it was running wild....I should do a reality TV show.
Danka, my Danie girl you're so sweet...........and you too got all your own stuff going on.......put it this way I didn't lock her in the closet yet.........of course she'll live cause as she says "I ain't going down that easy".
Ohhhhhhhhhh I'm glad I got a huge sofa and setee shoved in my dinning room too...........yeah so she can fall getting through......yeah that's real wise.

Hi Bryn,
First let me say I'm so glad your mom is doing better. And while all of your posts are very funny, I loved this one. Probably remembering mine getting stitches, while the ex felt faint and I also just had my own ER episode. Thanks for laugh! Too funny and so true, all of it.
