feelin caca...

alrighty.... i am sick of feeling like poo. i am not ill too often so when i am i can handle it. however, when i do come down with something, it is generally an upper respiratory issue. you know, the common cold. not so yesterday and today. i haven't felt this way in years. no bueno! i was unable to sleep yesterday which means i was no fun at work. i was even less useful. they sent me home @ 430... that's how lame-o i was.

so here i sit. unable to do anything. can't sleep cuz i gotta skeedaddle into the potty. can't eat. it won't stay put. grr. i have had sprite and saltines. i know i am whining and i am sorry...

surprisingly, while i was "working" i got lots of reading done! i am super into reading strangers' blogs. does that make me a creep??? i don't even care! i read this one woman's account of labor and have never chuckled to myself like that...
then i read another woman's heartfelt desire to be a mom. it's funny cuz they were nothing alike but definitely got me thinking about the whole situation. especially cuz i have been battling my uterus as of late. [i'm sure you don't want to know details...] i officially am sick of gynos, being *probed* or shall i say violated! i am sick of hurting and feeling sick. ugh. sick of it all! and i know i know, everyone has troubles. it's just funny how one such trouble can make you question everything you thought you wanted....

also, i would like to comment on patients. i have never been one so i really don't know what it's like. but i can tell you that taking care of patients who are my age or so is the weirdest thing i've ever done. i can't even tell you how strange it is to walk in on a man with a purple pe pe or to have some lady, legs up, ask me "if that is normal".... surely you can only imagine!
up to this point, my strangest patient inquiry was "will a catheter hurt when i have an erection in the morning? i have one every morning. it's healthy to have an erection every morning." well congrats to you sir. i don't know the answer to your question i will get the nurse. i am so grateful that i am able to give that answer regularly, particularly when i am uncomfortable. so, nurses, thank you for being the suckers who have to have the full on conversations about healthy morning erections.

however, i would also like to thank the family members who provide more entertainment for myself, my family, and my friends. thank you for your brazen disregard for clothing while in bed with your wife. the one who just got back from having her parts removed. and for asking when the soonest you can resume your "nookie sessions".... do i look like the doctor?!? no. don't ask. i may know the question but that doesn't mean i actually want to have this conversation with you.
