I guess I should be glad that this is only the second migraine I've had so far this week. sweatdrop It could be worse.
This CCU thing is killing me. Getting up before 4:30am is killing me. 12 hour shifts are killing me.
I keep finding myself thinking, "Well, I need to do dishes and cook some of the things I have in the fridge... I can just make it through this week, and then do that over the weekend." Then I remember that I don't have a weekend. CCU is 7 days a week, for four weeks. ********.
It was a relatively good day until mid-afternoon, when we were trying to do all our afternoon treatments at about the same time as a whole slew of emergencies came in, and the post-op patients started rolling in. I gained four new patients in about an hour, and by evening rounds I barely knew what was going on with any of them.
I also got bitten by a dog today. Wasn't bad. Had to fill out a bite report and an on-the-job-injury form anyway.
I think I'm going to die before the end of November.
