Friday's Dispatch

• "What else do you shave? Do you shave your legs?"- A recent text message I received.
• "Wasn't that uncomfortable?" Last text message I received in response to this text I sent out-" I had my underwear on backwards for 17 hours before I just noticed."
• Apparantly not too bad- it took me 17 hours to notice.
• The odd thing? As soon as I noticed, I couldn't go another second without turning them around.
• Hitler finds out Scott Brown wins!
• Had to leave my patient barely able to breathe this morning- rare for me, but nothing I did helped. Part of it was I upset the apple cart by repositioning and turning to change and bathe her, but her comfort was really fairly marginal the entire night. All I could say was,"Please help her- do something for her." to my relief as I left. If she still needs my care tonight I hope I can make it better.
• She was a patient whom I had when she was more intact and then was offered her case again later. After the first night I cared for her I was holding her hand saying goodbye she said," I enjoyed spending the night with you my love- come back."
• Did I mention she's 90 years old?
• When I came back last night there was nothing there- semi comatose/non responsive whatever you want to call it.
• The Cults Edie (Ciao Baby) is still one of my favorite songs and I love it more every time I rediscover it.
• I made a post from a funny comment in Cyrillic left by a Russian reader combined with translation by the genius hottie who graces this little blob occasionally- Mzchief. Oh, and set it to post January 1 2029. So stick around if you missed it the first time.
• There was a documentary called The James Dean Story made shortly after his death if you get the chance to see it- don't.
• Status: disheartened, disillusioned, disappointed, discomforted, discontent, dissatisfied, disconsolate.
• No, not disfigured- still got my pretty face so that's a start.
