The Queen's Meme #2-Mission Impossible

1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it? I can't live without my iPhone-I definitely need my music!

2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you. Please sit down, followed by the next time I tell you to sit down and be quite and you do not follow my request we'll start with one tsp of chlorahydrate...that will definitely work.

3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile?How would you handle it?

I would read the blog for awhile and then I would take that person out to lunch, a drop hints about things they have written on the blog to a point that they will know I am onto them.

4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on? Diet Lemon Snapple

5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve? A nice home cooked meal---probably Hamburger Mush-it's like Shepard's Pie-it's my Grandmothers recipe...Every time I have made it-I've gotten compliments.

6. You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. What do you do? Probably die laughing! The OtherHalf is 6'1 and I'm 5"4-ish. I hope he does stretch out my favorite clothes.

7. Every astronaut must have shots! Choose your vaccination: You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences.

#4, why not you only live once!!

The problem with healthcare medicine

One of the many problems with medicine is all the freaking, unnecessary tests.

I was a patient recently of some, "Big Named hospital" and I recently received an itemized bill for all the test performed, like the pregnancy test, that I insisted I did NOT need. Why, you ask?
First with the last pregnancy not only did I have a completed previa, it turned out my placenta loved all of my previous c-section scars, especially since I had already had 3 c-sections- therefore I had an accreata, which I was monitored very closely with during the ENTIRE pregnancy, only to find out after my delivery a few days later, it was a percerta(worse case scenario), noted I said a few days after I delivered I was told this, because that's how long it took them to finally decide to wean my from the vent, replace more blood and bring my back from the otherside in the ICU etc.......

I had a great Oncologist, who helped with the c-section(better at identifying large and small vessels), anyway they removed my uterus, tubes and cervix no less, and it was preformed at the same f-ing hospital were I was sick, they have EPIC(medical/online medical records) and I told them this and said really you have EPIC access, yes, then look it up?.....seriously now they are charging my insurance for some stupid test that couldn't even be true, and trust me I'M NOT THE VIRGIN MARY!

UUgghhhh! Family

Well, I guess I really pissed them off, the in-laws, I wrote, " I was going to write something nice about my, "family members", but I decided not too, on facebook.
Now their not talking to me...aaaaa go f-yourselves. Really, did you think I may have been talking about something else or someone else entirely? Get a Grip! My Life and The Other Half's do not completely and entirely revolve around you folks.

I really wish I could have enough money to get up and move the my family to the otherside of the country.

I have to go to work again on Thursday and over the weekend. We have a lot of gastroschisis babies due in the next month or so, "They'll fuck ya, everytime". They have a shittest fetal strips and 15% die in utero by 35 weeks, we end up delivering those babies for one small possible decel, and sleep cycle that looks at little flat...good times ahead, good times.

I saw a super cool TRAP sequence at work. We did an RFA on the "blob" and then cut the cord so there was no cord entanglement later, pretty interesting to say the least.

Long Live the Queen!!!!

Sunday Stealing: The Double Stealing Meme

1. If you could turn back the hands of time to correct one wrongdoing, what event would you choose and why? My oldest friend and I were not close by any means right out of high school. She became pregnant and I did not even know until after she had her daughter. I can not believe how scared and unsupported she was by her own family. I wish kept in touch with her during that time. Good news is we have been very close since I got married.

2. Are you one for tradition? If so, what traditions do you strongly believe in? If not, what makes tradition hypocritical? I try to keep the family traditions of spending time with my family on holidays, however being a nurse and having to work every other holiday pretty much put a damper on that.

3. You were taking part in an event and you had to crossplay, who would you crossplay as and why?

4. If you only had one day left to live, how would you spend your last day? Would you be tempted to live fatally if you knew you were to die the next day, and if so, what extreme measures would you take? I would spend my last day with my husband and kids doing absolutely nothing but lying around snuggling in bed--yes, I'm completely boring:)

5. What are your top five sinful materialistic items, ones you'd expect from others including those closest to you? I don't really think I have any, but I do LOVE my iphone

6. I am...completed exhausted, recovering from night-shift again is like functioning in a haze

7. I feel...tired

8. I see...sick people- (Nurse's Humor)

9. I need...a mental day off from work soon!

Tupperware

I love Tupperware just like most other women I know...BUT stop bring shit in Tupperware containers to the Triage Room in the Labor and Delivery Unit, it is just f-ing gross!

Public Service Announcement # 41.

No Way!

An old patient of mine, decided to call the Labor and Delivery department to let me know she is expecting once again this August!

It was very thoughtful of her, you see... she is a G14, P12 and I delivered her last 7, yes, thats right..I was the nurse on when she delivered her last 7 children. Hard to believe but true, she specifically asked if she could call me when she goes into labor with number 13. Kind -of - an -honor, kind-of Crazy!
