Work, Work, Work


I have been super busy at work. Since Friday we have been slammed by many patients coming in for contractions or ruptured membranes (water broke). Here it is Sunday and I am here at work wishing I was at church celebrating life with my church family. I love my job but this weekend has left me desiring for ME time. When I feel like work is stressing me out, I continually keep in mind my patients best interest and their feelings of excitement about their pregnancy. I honor those feelings and emotions and do my best to make their visit as pleasant and as comfortable as possible. For whats to come afterwards isn't so pleasant. As convienant as epidurals are, it too has the minor side effects of itching. So a patient's comfort and safety is a top priority to me.
This evening I will visit with an old Marine friend who will be leaving to Iraq next week. I will enjoy the rest of the weekend I have left. I have my Labor Day off this year so I will relax. Thank You God!!

What a good attitude to have, thinking about the patients. But I know that it can be hard working so many hours, its a strain on ones peace of mind.
