Eventful
The past two weeks at work have been eventful and longgg. It's kind of why I haven't really updated this in like two weeks.
Okay, so, on with the first week!
One of my first patients that I dealt with was upset. She was crying over something she had on her toe thinking it would hurt when the doctor did the I&D (incision and drainage). So I had to try and calm her down and get her to stop crying. When the doctor was working on her he was trying so hard not to laugh. It was hilarious but I stayed professional.
Then at the end of the day, my very last patient, I had to draw blood from her. Once I collected all the stuff I needed to do it she started acting nervous. I asked her if she was alright and she said yeah. So I went on with preparing for the blood draw. I got the tubes I needed filled with blood. And no sooner I took the need out of her and got the gauze on her she said she didn't feel well so I had her lay down immediately. As soon as she laid down she passed out and started convulsing. At the same time I was trying to hold her on the table, straighten her arm (she wouldn't straighten it) so I could get a bandaid on her so she didn't get blood all over, and stay calm. I finally got it on and went to get her water. And of course, her mom left the room to go to the front desk while I drew the blood. I needed a urine sample from her also so after I had her lay down, she felt better. I walked her to the bathroom and then left to go get the U/A stuff ready. Next thing I know I'm being told she's on the floor. So I had to bring her back to the room! I didn't think it was ever going to end!
Then, two days ago, I had another person pass out on me. Literally, ON ME. I still had the needle in her too. She fell right on me and I was trying to hold her in place with all my strength while trying to keep the needle in her so I could finish getting the rest of the blood I needed (which is what you're supposed to do). Her arm fell and the needle came out and there goes blood spurting everywhere. Her mom FINALLY gets up and grabs her to lay her down. Turns out, the reason why she passed out was because she hadn't ate all day.
NOTE: if you're getting blood drawn and it doesn't matter if you eat before or not, I recommend you eat because you never know if this will happen to you or not.:-p
So, not only did I have to re-stick her with a needle to get the last tube filled, I also had blood to clean up everywhere. Ugh!
Okay, enough talk about work.
Yesterday I wanted to try the aspirin mask to see how well it would work for me. So I went to the store and got aspirin that wasn't enteric coated.
Aspirin is a beta-hydroxy acid which is a very effective type of salicylic acid that acts as an amazing pore cleanser. It gives you a deep down clean that keeps your skin blemish free. It's also said to be a good exfoliator that brightens the skin and leaves it smooth and amazingly soft.
You can just mix a few pills with a few drops of water and then put it on your face, or you can do what I wanted to do and do that but mix it with honey as well. And of course, the ONE TIME my grandmother doesn't have honey is the only time I need it. The honey is used as a moisturizer. Just adding water to the pills and putting it on your face can dry it out so you would have to put a moisturizing lotion on your skin after if you didn't add honey to it.
I'm so glad I finally tried this out, I've wanted to try this for a few years now. My face is so smooth! I have to wait a little longer to really see any affects. I can't wait to see how it turns out!:)
Lately, I've been trying a bunch of different things and am having all positive results. Go me!
Damn! It's expensive being a girl. Haha.
My 21st birthday is in 9 days and my boyfriend wants to take me out to eat at any restaurant I want. But, the thing is is that I don't really eat out anywhere because I don't eat a lot of foods. There's countless restaurants here and I have NO IDEA where I would like to go! I was thinking Olive Garden at first because I've never been there before and we're both italian (haha) butttt, it's too expensive so I think not. Now I'm thinking Golden Corral because I know I LOVE that place. Haha, they have the best brownies ever. I could eat them all day! Not only that but they have lots of things to choose from. But the thing is is that there's not one that close to here (of course!). I'd have to drive all the way to Ft. Pierce which is like maybe 30 minutes away. Ew. No fun. SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO!:-p Give me some ideas.
Oh yeah! Whatchu getting me for my birthday?! O_o
No alcohol, please. Haha.
