Samot-Sari

I hate having 2 days off. First off, I lose a day by sleeping until past 8 (yuppers!). Yes my dear, 8pm...that's with a dose of Norco 5/325. I was supposed to work for 8 hours yesterday, but I am still bothered by my post-op pain that's been nagging me for several days now. I am on restrictions of lifting no more than 10 pounds for 2 weeks but with the kind of work that I have, the mere opening of the triage door, and pushing 150 kilograms of fat dead body weight on a wheelchair has taken it's toll on me. And I gave out. Coming back to work 9 days post surgery is not easy.I felt I've walked from Mansfield to Denton.
Before I left from work, I managed to send a funny excuse-me-from-work email to my boss yesterday. I've mentioned that my "tired frail body is giving up, and my right upper quadrant is howling every now and then." I thought she's going to call me for the very informal sick call, but instead, she responded to me in a very funny way.
And now it is past 5 in the morning. What else am I going to do. Hubby and doggie are both snoring, I am about to finish my third cup of yogurt... I think, I've drank to much water.I've Oggled and googled, watched all my missed TV shows...checked my friendster, read the news for tomorrow at cnn.com, re-read my fave bloggers, and here I am.... about to lose another day. I need to drain my energy. I guess I have to start making my schedule for September. Oh yeah, that's a long one. I am one of those who base their work schedule on TV shows.
I take that back, I now work on weekends only. That way I can watch, The Closer on Monday, Eureka on Tuesday, Ghost Hunters on Wednesday, Burn Notice on Thursdays, and Monk and Psych on Fridays. So you see, I have a very busy schedule. Then of course, local network series that I am oogling about, Such as Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Numb3rs, House, Medium, CSI, Criminal Minds. I don't like (honestly) watching any kind of reality shows. I hate it. People do get ugly in these shows in order for them to win.
Crap! It's 0554 hrs now. I have to go to sleep. I hope we can still get to watch "The Mummy" tonight.
PS: I hope I am done changing my blog layout.

One night, I was doing my charge work, when I get a call from a patient that was seen 2 days ago. He said he still have "abominable" pain and "shits" and wants to come back to E.R. for second opinion. I told him "We're happy to see you sir." His response is somewhat irate, "you don't understand, they escorted me out, and this time, I am going to bring my lawyers". So i said, "Sure Sir, you can bring your entire community and 7 lawyers, but please make sure you don't forget to bring yourself in." "CLICK!"
mwahahahahahahaha!
