More work and nights 8-14th September. Work up about 8ish on saturday so probably only had 4hours sleep, not much. I tried to be discreet getting Dwayne out of accommodation but Dutch students saw him. Am sure no-one will say anything as I have seen one of them with lad. On late today and felt so tired at work could easily of fallen asleep in handover. Had coffee afterwards and felt so much better and shift was ok. We had 2patients with blood products and one aggigated patient, who wasn't that bad really. Then Sunday on another late but was nice shift could tell it was a Sunday afternoon. We also had a patient die and it doesn't get any easier, probably didn't help as was first to realise breathing changed.
On Monday 10th got up about 11ish was going to to Birkenhead point but couldn't bothered. So instead I had a lazy day just went to Rhodes and got lots of food for night shift. Also my shoes arrived which I ordered from eBay today and were just as lively as picture. At night went to Liberty Grove were Sarah house sitting for the week. Bianca cooked us lasagne for tea was very nice with garlic bread and ice-cream. I had to leave early as my 1st night shift tonight. But first my pass wouldn't let me into accommodation so security had to let me in, which was fine. Night shift was a lot quieter than back at home actually had time to sit down and I only had 8 patients. In the morning handover seemed to take forever as CNE listened in and wanted me to involve patients more at 7 in morning, really!!
On Tuesday 11th I woke up about 2ish then watched TV for abit. I foolishly went back to room to listen to music at 3.30 and was dozing on and off ti I eventually got up at 5ish. Night shift was busier as my patients not really settling. Also since only open to 25 patients one staff got moved to emergency to special patient. Did not sleep as much after night woke up 12.30 and went to Rhodes to book Manly surf lesson through Groupon as only half price $35 for 2hours. Some , Bianca and Nat going to try surging which am sure will be amusing. I also priced up car hire for weekend which finally going to sort tomorrow. I also went for my first run since fall which felt sluggish only managed 2.09miles at pace of 10 is normally less than that. The night shift on Wednesday 12th I only had 6 patients so thought it might drag a little. But it was actually ok kept busy with trachy patients requiring a lot of suction overnight. In morning showed the staff how to clean inner cannula and do cuff measures on her. As there both had not really looked after her before and needed a refresher.
On Thursday 13th got up at 1.30 and didn't really do much once up. Waited til Bianca finished and so we could book car hire. We went to the library but was shut so we had to phone up requested a manual car, which said was fine. Was miserable day looked cloudy and grey most of day and rained later on. Was supposed to go to Korean BBQ as sounded interesting with work but didn't feel up to. At work one staff got moved to 1north so I had 12patients and were more settled tonight which was good. When I finished work was still wide awake so finished book and went to sleep at 9ish. Woke up at 11 went to toilet then went back to sleep til 1. At nightbisnca cooked us lasagne again at Sarah's house sitting flat. Then we all went to watch Madagascar 3 which was very good, very funny.
