My dad's doctor just called, he said he suspects that my dad has blood based leukemia. All of the bodies blood is filtered my the lymphatic system so it may have spred to that.

It's not confirmed. It's just not. And the blood test that they did was $1,100.00.

I want one. Like ..... I don't know but I want one and I want it now. ....Yesterday.... Shipping takes 2 weeks so I want one two weeks and one day ago!

*sigh*

Hello everyone, I'm alive, and reasonably healthy, safe and sound, if not sane. I'm just tired and busy. I have been meaning to check in for weeks but well life such as it is is busy as hell. I have yahoo messenger now so I can be contacted through that. Emerald_Faith_2003 even if it shows that I am offline I may not be.

As I sit here in the middle of my second 40 hour work week ....I mean clinical rotation I realize this much like the rest of my professional life is gonna suck. Between the contact precaution patients on the floor with the worlds laziest bitches .... I mean nurses, and the pissy patients, old crusty patients, and hysterical family with their insane patients, not to mention horn dogs hitting on me, I have had a weird trying week and it's only Tuesday.

Seriously I had a patient today I was doing a obstruction series on who was happy to see me. I do mean HAPPY. Hands behind his head look at me, where do you live HAPPY. Yes he asked me that.

I was embarrassed for him. He was not.

I am tired. My feet hurt, my calves are charlie horsing and I have the day off tomorrow. I am going to sleep most of the day while my parents go to Houston to pick up the truck they bought. A Peterbuilt.

So this is me checking in and saying good night all.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays from me to you.

I love my weather man. Okay, that's not entirely true. I live a block and a half from Lake Eufalah. A flood zone to be sure. I have heard all week how Gustav was going to flood sections of Oklahoma that I happen to live in the center of. Aside form a lot of rain we are fine. All of Gustav's tornadoes went East. Aside from my sick Aunt who fell during this mess' home which is standing in a foot of water and has no roof we came through well.

Keith has managed to tear up his air conditioner and two tires. I fear the bill.

We cleaned out my dad's truck today and as I type Mickey is putting his stuff in it.

I'm tired and I have a Positioning book and lab test tomorrow I need to study for.

....And I have to cook dinner.

I'm too lazy to check on when my last life post was but three weeks ago I had my first clinic day. Aside from the fact that my clinical instructor couldn't be bothered to show up and nobody else knew I was going to be there, and my feet may never forgive me everything was fine. ..... Until I got lost on the way home in DOWNTOWN Tulsa. Straightened out and going south (I only broke three traffic rules to manage that) I got to the section line that would have led me home in four short miles after eight hours on my feet and the front driver's tire blew all of the tread off of the tire. When one is flying down the road at 75 MPH (yeah I was speeding) and you feel what you think was a blown out tire, be less concerned about your fender than the approaching ditch.

I'm fine as so is my truck. I pulled over and the tire was holding air so I called my dad who wanted my to hurry home and make dinner so I limped home at 3 MPH.

The weekend continued, mom came home from Louisiana and life went on. I'm worried about Aunt Agnes

Monday - Thursday.

School and it's many tests and annoyances led into Friday and my second clinical day.

Friday.

My clinical instructor bothered to show up. How kind. Of course she was moody. Bitch. By noon I was having a hard time breathing. I left at three and got lost again. When I made it home the weekend started and the usual tests. Monday I had a lab test and just felt off. Tuesday I had a Positioning test and I had trouble breathing again. Wednesday I had an Imaging test that I failed and I started running a fever. Thursday I registered a Connors and My fever and breathing trouble was added to by a general sick to my stomach feeling. Thursday night I called Tracy my clinical coordinator 3 times. She told me if I ever have any problems day or night to call and she would fix it. I still haven't heard from her. I called Ernie Tracy's boss and I haven't heard from him either. All I wanted to know was what the protocol on being infectious at the clinical setting was.

Friday morning.

At 5:00 a.m. I called the hospital to tell them I wouldn't be there. My symptoms had moved on to breathing trouble, fever, throwing up, a headache and my knees wouldn't support me. I liked to fell twice.

I'm tired. I'm sick, Gustav is headed my way, and I and going to bed.

I am sitting here trying to concentrate and my father had a karaoke show of some sort blaring through the house. I firmly believe the inventor of the karaoke machine has a special place reserved in hell just for him with a karaoke machine, Britney Spears, and Ho Chow, or what ever the oriental guy from American Idol's name was. And the creator of AI. I've see three episodes and that was three too many.

Let's see, where was I. Monday I had my first positioning test. Tuesday I had an Imaging test and a Patient care test, Wednesday was a Positioning lab and Thursday was another Patient care test. Ernie gave us a take home test in Imaging and Intro both, and Thursday I turned in a paper for extra points on the questions I missed on my first Imaging test.

Monday the 27th I have a Positioning test then Tuesday I have another Imaging test followed by an Intro test Wednesday and who knows when Tracy's next patient care test will be.

I'm tired and I still have hours of work to do before I can even get to start studying what I have done plus all of the general house work to be done. I think I may take an hour long nap and get started again.

I cleaned and rearranged my desk computer tower and monitor Friday. I should be ashamed. The dirt was something like 1/2 and inch thick on the vent.

Yesterday my mouse which has been dying a slow death bit it when I dumped a full glass of Cherry coke on it. Well maybe not bit it, I can still use it I just can't highlight, cut or paste and the roller ball doesn't work.

I have an Imaging test Monday that I haven't studied near enough for. I need brain food. I think I'll go to McDonald's and pick something up. Grease fat and empty calories. Yum.

I admit I am advertising only because the banner has Hunter on it. I may go back for the Batista banner too.

Which Goddess lurks in your soul? Hera It is obvious that leadership is your strong suit! Hera was Queen of all the Greek Gods and the daughter of a Titan. This is no small boast! Hera is selective on who she inhabits and rightfully so. Only those of majestic grace and keen intellects are considered and she will leave in a heartbeat if her host is ungracious or in anyway corrupted by a powerful position. Like Hera, you are a true born leader of the people. Many have come to you over the years seeking guidance and patient understanding to their plights and pains. Your advice is usually rooted in the experiences of your own life and given with great care and caution. Continue on this path and Hera will make you a Queen worthy of remembrance!

History Mystery


Have a history teacher explain this----- if they can.


Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.

Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.

Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets really weird.

Lincoln 's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln .

Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln , was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln , was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.

Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.

Now hang on to your seat.

Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln ' made by 'Ford.'

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater.

Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

And here's the kicker...

A week before Lincoln was shot, he was in Monroe , Maryland
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.

Creepy huh?

Hey, this is one history lesson most people probably will not mind reading! If you choose to pass it on.
