It's been a while, allot has happened, but I keep on moving forward with positive energy. Let me begin by telling you the good news, I have transferred to CSICU (Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit); I'm definitely mentally challenging myself, I am learning so much & have done SICU (Surgical Intensive Care Unit), MICU ( Medical Intensive Care), & CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) rotations. I have opened another door to a wealth of knowledge & have met some really seasoned critical care nurses! I hope to soak everything up & develop my bedside skills. Work life has been awesome, working days for the last 3 months has allowed me to see how things run during the day, my observation: busy as hell. I have a new found respect for the day shift nurses! You guys rock!
Moving onto my family: this year my girls turn 27, 26, 25 & my boys turn 21 & 19; not to mention my grands who will turn 1 & 2 next year! Wow! How time flies! My girls are already thinking about PA ( Physician Assistant ) school, post grad school, & grad school! My boys are moving forward as well, my 21 year old is debating coming back home to work on his music,& my 19 year old is working on starting college & looking forward to a computer engineering major! I can't forget to mention my Marley, she had 2 seizures last weekend & we took her to the emergency room & was told they were benign episodes, for now. So we are diligently watching over her, for now.
As for my social life, since I've been working the day shift for the last 3 months I have been enjoying my nightly rendezvous with my bed! And since most of my close friends work nights except for Denise, who would rather watch TV than go out; I have been spending allot of quality time with myself! I'm learning that I make my own happiness & that I am determined to succeed in all my endeavors! I have been reading allot self help articles, exercising & meditating. Being alone has
taught me allot of self discipline, which has allowed me to rediscover my worth.
And now for the bad news, somebody who I believed to be close to me, passed. This person was very instrumental in my healing process when I was broken. And for that I will be forever thankful, he restored my confidence & reminded me of what I'm made of & what makes me unique. His passing has giving me yet another prospective on life, never take friendships for granted.
On that note, I'm sending all positive energy & sharing some happy memories with you!
Miss my 4LW family!
My 19 year old is really trying to make his way!
