YAY the weekend is here, and my 6 days is over! That was a long week. All my residents at work are all sick:( I got the stupid cold too. so 3 more days and we are going to Vancouver for the Paisley Concert! I can't wait. We are leaving on Tuesday morning, and coming back Wednesday night! I want to go to IHOP, and out for seafood. Travis wants to go to science world, and we both want to go to the aquarium! I know they are for kids, but hey, we can be kids for a day! I can't wait. I will post pictures when we get back. I just hope we don't forget the camera!

Scary night at work...Is it worth it?

So the other night we had a very very scary night at work. One of our residents became very Agitated. And started talking to himself, and getting mad. Well one point in the night he was climbing on top of the chair to climb the china cabinet, and we couldn't do anything to get him down. I noticed he was progressing all night, even after the maximum dosage of meds to calm him down. So at about 10:30 I was in with another resident, and I heard the nurse scream so loud for me. I came running down the hall, only to see that agitated resident blocking her in the kitchen, trying to get her. she was pinned between the door and the dishwasher, and she was holding with all her might to get him out. So I tried to distract him, the other care aide jumped over the servery, and into the kitchen to see if she could get the door closed on him. We tried everything to get him out. The resident was looking at me, and saying he was not moving for anyone. So the nurse grabbed the phone and called the cops! We finally distracted him with something, and managed to shut the door, he then tries to attack the other care aide, so we all made a dash to the back office. The cops arrived and took 2 of them to hold him down so we could give him an injection...He has been sleeping ever since...



Now I sit here and wonder is it worth going to work?? Ahh it was scary

Big confidence booster!

So there has been some shit going on at work between a co worker and myself. I finally went to management about it. I know sometimes it's not the best idea. But I am sick of it. Last week she told me I had bad Hygiene and was going to make everyone sick. So I got a call from the CEO/DOC today, saying I have nothing to worry about because they know the work I do, and say I am doing awesome!! So that was a big confidence booster. I have been there for 3 months now and I have trained 2 people. The other care aide has been there for the same time, and she hasn't trained anyone yet! So I work with her this week...We'll see what happens!

New thing!

I bought myself a Nintendo DS just after Christmas. I have bought a lot of games for it. But today I got one called my weight loss coach! It comes with a pedometer, and you have to record it every day. And everyday you will have food challenges, and physical challenges. Its funny, I have no motivation for working out or eating right. But who know a simple game will help! So I recommend this game to anyone who is having problems getting motivated. Today my challenge was to take 500 steps, and record it. Put the salt in the cupboard for 24 hrs (This won't be hard cause I don't like Salt) And the other one is to cook a variety of Pasta that I never use...I always eat pasta. So I don't know what to create with it. But it's awesome. I would love to see how many steps I take at work, cause that's all I do is walk. Maybe I will post it on monday, to let you all know! And to motivate myself!
