Lull of Life

There's been a lack of blogging on my end for many reasons. Mostly, I've been writing so much for school, I haven't been able to muster up any more enthusiasm for writing elsewhere. And of course, life is in a lull, not a whole lot going on outside of the norm.

My grandmother recently had knee surgery, and is doing well. She's determined to drive asap so she's pushing it extra hard with the PT. Makes me proud, yet worried all at once. :-)

I finished my psych rotation. Bummed to see it go because the 12 hour shifts are up next... Transplant unit, hopefully, I'll hear some interesting stories while I'm there.

Justin's out of town this weekend, doing a Marine Corp hosted mud run in Columbia, SC with his buddies. He's excited. Hopefully, I'll be productive in studying for my trillion upcoming midterms while he's gone. I am also going to sweet J's bridal shower and to see sweet Emi cheer at her middle school football game tomorrow. It should be a good weekend!

Little men with copper wires and hamburger spaceships

I had my first full day on the psych unit at Wesley Woods Geriatric Hospital yesterday. It was VERY interesting. I encountered so many delusions and hallucinations.

"Glass is in my mouth so I can't swallow"
"There is a gas leak in my room"
"There is a vacuum in my bed trying to suck up my fat"
"There is a fire under my bed"
"Sleep is death"
"A space ship landed beside me and turned into a hamburger so I ate it. I need to eat objects made of metal to feed it so it can gas up and return to outer space"
"Little men with copper wires are in my toes trying to cut them off"

I was dreading my time on this unit, but it's actually quite fascinating. Looking forward to my next two weeks there!
