It's a shame when a woman thinks she can be a b__ch just because she is pretty. So it is cool when you get a chance to put them in their place. Well, glad to hear you are out of the hospital. Happy healing!

Then I stopped that wheelchair trip twice to exchange hugs with two other nurses who were just plain good people just to make sure Miss Snarky Pretty knew exactly where she stood with me.

I've had a few nurses that were in the profession to genuinely help people and I've had a few who just did it for the paycheck. You can always tell who's who! Wink

What I am doing is learning how to take a shower (great things, showers) and taking rides to local doctors to have stitches pulled and drugs adjusted. Other than that, a jug of milk exceeds my lifting capacity, so even getting a cup of coffee is a stretch on things.

Speaking about Amanda the snarky pretty, she was banging up on me for "exceeding my lift limits" while moving my suitcase around.

I paused and asked "Does this include the 200+ pounds per hand and arm I have to put out to rock myself back up into the bed?

She thought a minute and allowed that 200+ pounds of force putting myself back into the bed was an OK thing ......

...... just leave the 40 pound suitcase alone.

Did I mention she was Very Pretty?

Some young idiot boy will marry the girl, be assured of it. May well already be married, as all nurses take their rings off due to the incessant hand scrub that goes on on entering and leaving a recovering patient's room.

=======================================

Pulse rate "afib" issues with cardiac work. Working on your heart "injures" it and every injured heart reacts by defaulting to the easiest, least damaging heart rate it can find.

Historically with mechanical valve replacement folks like me this means a very light, very fast pulse.

At the hospital the max I ever saw at rest was 150 bpm -- a hummingbird's pulse rate. This slowed while I was there to 124 bpm, then by the time I was released it was down to 114.

After a week at home I am down to 98 bpm and I am entering the general turf called "normal".

ah, progress .....

My pulse rate was already well over a HUNDRED all the time, so it wasn't her making me go pitty pat .......

You know, she never gave me a sponge bath either --- of which I had several from the nicer nurses. She was too lazy and would have a nursing assistant do it.

Please understand I was a broken up old fart the whole time I was in the hospital and I didn't think amorous thoughts about any of them.

Reply #44 - 02/23/16 at 00:16:04 OldFeller, You inspired me although I don't know you well. If I get to be older and in a hospital (hopefully not), I'm going to pass my time talking to the nurses about the time I had a Savage with a big single, and an improved petcock....yea it was a beautiful motorcycle. LOL
