All in a days work

Today was my first day back to work at the hospital where I could actually have direct patient care. The 2nd room that I walked into was of a little girl with burns going for skin grafts tomorrow. On the spur of the moment, without any preparation of my own, I had to prepare her family for going through that experience. The mom of the patient is a friend of a friend, so she was somewhat up to speed on what all had happened to me. About halfway through pre-oping her and her husband, I had to stop and apologize because I couldn't remember everything associated with going to surgery. The ICU nurses that took care of me tell me that memory probs from all the sedation drugs are normal. I felt really awful but at least it was with someone that I could just say, "you know, I just can't remember". They had several questions that I just couldn't recall the answers to. I even asked one of my nurses the other day where the Kleenex were kept ... the supply closet! HELLO! I had to send out an email that afternoon to my nurses warning them about my memory problem because I know I'm going to be asking lots of questions that I should already know the answers to. They pick on me about getting old and turning 30 in a few months so this memory trouble has only given them fuel for the fire!! My afternoon was consumed with vomit and porn in the playroom. At the same time that I was notified about a teenage boy looking at porn on the computers, I had a little girl puking all over the place. What possesses someone to access porn on a public computer in a playroom at a CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL! I couldn't believe it! There was a volunteer to help clean up the puke girl but I had to handle the porn ... and in Spanish no less. He claimed to not speak any English. I had to get someone to translate for me. I need Luis to teach me Spanish so bad but he may get a little nervous when I need to know how to say porn in Espanol!
