For now at least. Gosh, the feeling of my last blog stuck with me a few days. I thought I would wake up Saturday feeling refreshed with being off work, but not so. It took a minute for that to pass, which is good that it finally did, but not great that it's harder to shake now than usual. Situational depression? Blows.
Work was better today. We're getting used to the new doctor and realizing she is a pretty damn good leader. Also, there was very little drama today. Staff moved like a well-oiled machine...well, as much as we all can. We did have a Code Yellow (Code Stress) when a dude came in on an affidavit. But he's a well known consumer, and we anticipated him fighting as soon as he got in. Of course since he was actually fighting with the deputy that brought him in, we had some pretty good signs of what was to come. So, a bunch of big dudes on campus came, doctor ordered a PRN IM, and ol' boy got a fine injection to help him de-escalate. No staff got hurt. No patients got hurt - perhaps damn scared (hello scared straight!) but not hurt. Good day.
Shoot, I even came home to food to eat thanks to my mom. I thawed the rest of the soup she made when she was here. I was supposed to save it for Joe, but after sending a second care package, I don't feel so bad. After it cooled a bit (ha), I took the dogs for a walk, watered the plants, played a little ball with Dex, picked up the backyard, did my evening stuff to prep for tomorrow and got my ass in bed, which is where I am now.
And so, I have to be at work an hour earlier tomorrow (8AM) for training, which I'll have for the next three days, minimizing my actual patient contact for the rest of the week. Woot. This also wraps up Joe's (hopefully) final week in Mountains. Still haven't heard anything about his first FTX, so I hope he passed that and is passing currently. The only thing I really need to worry about right now is if the massive bug bite on the back of my left calf (sustained yesterday while intermittently changing Joe's car battery and getting chased by a hornet) continues to blow up. I know it wasn't the hornet that got me, but I don't know what the hell did. It's big, red and hot right now. I guess if it starts rotting I'll hit the urgent care clinic.
I hope you all are having a great week and thanks for thinking good thoughts for me (and Joe)!! xoxox

There's a lot to be said about a job when a decent day is described as "no one got hurt". Crazy, man!
