I had a super busy day yesterday! I had a 34 year old Filipino guy. That was weird in itself because every patient is usually 55+. So it was weird that he was young and independent and had really good veins!! So yes, I took him down to CT scan and he had fluid in his left lung. Had to come back...given tons of meds and insulin. D/C'd one IV and FINALLY inserted a new one. I've done blood draws in the past, but I've never had the chance to do an IV. So yes, yay me. Anyways, after all that we went and took him down to Interventional Radiology (IR) and he had a pigtail drain placed in his posterior chest. From that moment til the end of my shift, he drained over 2 liters in about 3.5 hours. I was like "no wonder you had trouble breathing!" It was great that he was so young because had he not been, with that diagnose, he would have been intubated probably since Monday. So yes, it was another good, but very busy, day!

It's so hot right now. The only thing I'm looking forward to this week is going to the A's game on Saturday night. Why? Because I'll be out in the bay...and I'll be in bay weather. Nice & cool I hope!

Caroline saw my wacky away message the other night "PLANNING MY WEDDING." Kee wants to start looking at venues and working out details. We want to get married around next fall! Crazy, huh? So he was all "we need to find a place so we can book it a year in advance!" I'm like Okay, but you need to propose first! DUH! I'll keep you posted on how THAT all goes.
