Work, dentist, flat, pizzas and drinks

Wednesday 26th September Rome up about 8 read for abit and kept saying round go for run. I eventually went for a run at 10.30 only managed 2.10 miles. Was two stray horse loose on helipad which were trying to catch so had to go slow past them. On late shift was specializing a patient as on half hourly observations. Do mainly looked after all in 4 bedded bay which was nice for a change. Also managed to swap shift shift to early for comedy show, what a relieve.
On Thursday on early was very busy as my patient who specializing yesterday still needed special. His femoral line came out was blood everywhere and needed pressure on wound and sand bags for 30minutes. Also he was cytotoxic so had use cytotoxic spillage kit. Didn't go to lunch til 2ish and only had about 20minutes. After work I went to dentist to sort out my filling so I thought. Bad mistake as found out nerve dead and probably need root canal and crown for $2400. But their repaired for now and put medicine in the tooth. But do it slightly different to UK as covered tooth with plastic 1st which felt strange. So glad I got my Bupa healthcare sorted as would of cost $228 but Bupa paid $160. I wonder how much there will give me for root canal and crown. After dentist went and bought soup and yoghurt for tea as thought best to have something soft to eat. Also spoke to mum on Skype and connection bit best also struggling to speak abit since analgesia not worn off. Luckily when I got home and ate soup analgesia worn off.
On Friday went for a run but too hot only managed 2.11 miles and had to stop twice once to redo laces and one to catch breath. Phones Bupa and unfortunately root canal and crown seen as major surgery and not covered til a year so would only get $50 back. So I think I will leave it for now until filling falls out again. Then me and Bianca went to view accommodation at liberty grove $750 week furnished 3bedroom town hall. Was abit concerned what furnisher would be like be nicely done all neutral. Me and Bianca really like just need to discuss with Debbie and show her pictures. At work was busy lots going on blood products, had to re-inflate trachy cuff which I did for first time.
On Saturday didn't want to get probably as couldn't get to sleep last night. Also knew was going to be busy shift when told had MET call overnight. I just don't know where the time went didn't have break til 12 so had lunch and coffee together and was ready for it. At night off out for pizza at lipari pizza at Rozelle, Sarah found offer there. Could have 6large pizzas between 4 of us but could only manage 4 and couldn't have take-away, shame!! Was full afterwards but decides to get bus to Newtown and have chocolate pizza at Max Brenner. Which was very good and Debbie not had before think she liked. Got train back which was very busy could tell was Saturday and got back 10.30.
On Sunday on a early shift and was such a nice shift actually felt like how a Sunday should be. It probably helped as our patient with trachy got sent to ICU overnight as had low sats. At night me and Debbie went for drinks at Opera bar as never been before and tons is nice. It was good as had live band could sit outside under heater and we shared a cocktail jug of vodka, strawberry, apple and cider, definitely have again. It wasn't a late one as Debbie on late next day.
