I guess it's unsafe to eat politicians, too.:faint:

Crap, there goes another food group. I think they are listed on the Taco Bell menu too. Always thinking outside the bun.:hungry:

Oh i hate renos too! poor u, will insurance pay for a hotel room?

Nope, no hotel room here. Do you think that I could ask my boss if I could work at the local hotel he would agree? I think I will suggest that tomorrow. LOL

That's funny Neenah.

The contractors are still in my house and are yet to be finished at work. Apparently, we are moving in the newly renovated lab this week. The problem is that there were some things that never made it to the final draft like some of the plumbing is missing. There are 4 drains missing, the drains that get rid of biological waste from the analyzers. The manager says we are moving anyway. I say the first time we need to dump some of the waste, he should be the one to do it.

Ha Ha, you do that Wheezy. I can empathize with you. I just got home from work after a 24h computer downtime. What a mess! It was fixing all the paperwork after the computers came back up that was the problem. I've been manually entering lab results all day and my eyes are buggy.

Yuck, Wheezy, thats nasty, I don't even want to know what 'waste' would be, I can only guess.

I admire you for being able to do that kinda work. Nurses too, yuck, thank GOD for people that can handle that stuff. I can't even do my own kid's puke. My husband had to clean it, til the kids got old enough to clean it up themselves. lol. I'm not joking. I can clean up poopy bums, but I don't do puke!!!

OH MY GOD Becca, been there done that!! That's one of the worst things that could happen. Computer downtime procedures are terrible and even worse when they are back up and running. I'm curious, do you have someone check the manual entry before you release the results?

When people ask me, how I can work in the lab with blood and guts and all the other excretions you can and cannot imagine, I tell them that at least it's in a test tube or some other container. As for nurses, they have to deal with it when it's coming out of the patients. And that's why I didn't chose nursing as a carreer.

No, not after the downtime just because we are so backed up when we're done. But manual entries always get double read before they are released on a regular basis. This was supposed to only last 10 hrs but it didn't work out that way. Boy were we tired when we were done!:faint:

I feel for ya! Tomorrow we are moving from one room to the other. It involves, IT (computer people), maintenance, and us. We are doing all of this without interupting services. (Ya right!) At least that's what all the docs and I'm sure patients expect. These things never go smoothly. I told my husband to have the martini (or three) ready when I get home.

Wish me luck. And when it's all over I have to tell you all about the people who are moving into our department.......Like I said wish me luck that I don't do any physical harm to anyone Haha!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
