Home finally

Well its Thursday and Sonja will be home in a few days. I am excited to have her back here. It has been pretty boring without her. But it helps that I have been on call. It makes things go a little bit quicker. I woke up and went to work. It was busy with a few x-rays in the ER. So that started things off with a bang. It was nice to get right into something like that. Suddenly it was coffee time, which isn't saying to much because I started at 8:48 and coffee is at 10, but regardless it is a nice milestone to see pass. It slowed down a little bit after that. Lunch finally came and I had a sandwich. After lunch I went back to work and it continued to be slow until 4:20. A patient came in for blood work and so I did that. Then the doctor wanted some blood work on a patient in the ER, an inpatient and an x-ray. So everything kinda broke loose at once. The x-ray was interesting because they had given him some pain killers, so he was feeling pretty good. It was tough for him to stand and he was overly helpful when I was trying to position him. So it took a while, but I got it done. I went back to the lab and found more blood work waiting for me to do. When all was said and done I wasn't out of there until 6. I came home and changed and started to make some supper as I was pretty hungry. I sat on the couch and talked to Sonja for a little bit. After hanging up with her, I got a call from the hospital wanting an x-ray. So I went over there and saw the air ambulance flight crew prepping the patient for the flight. The doctor wanted an x-ray to check for a tube placement as they had just intubated him for the trip. Then they added blood work. So I just stood back and waited for the flight paramedics to get him ready to take off. When they were done I did the x-ray and blood work. I came home around 7:30 and finished making supper. It was a fortunate thing that I turned the oven off before leaving because other wise I wouldn't have had supper or possibly a place to live. I had a a chicken burger and corn on the cob. It was pretty good.

The forecast was predicting a thunderstorm this afternoon, so I was pretty excited for it. But of course the forecast was wrong again. It hasn't rained for probably 2 weeks, so I was really hoping for the storm. It was just cloudy and pretty warm. But that was my day. Hopefully no call backs late tonight so I can sleep through.

Thats all for now.
