I'm so glad your mom is doing better!I figured those of you who have been keeping up with what's going on with my mom, would be interested in knowing this:
My mom is officially out of ICU. They moved her to another room yesterday morning. She's awake and incredibly alert. The doctor told her that she has made the fastest recovery that he's ever seen. I kind of disappeared from here for a few days because for a little while, my family was worried that we were fixing to lose her. She got pretty bad for about a day or so. I wasn't handling it very well at all and ended up having a meltdown at home. I picked myself back up and kept going though. My mom is one hell of a woman, I can tell you that. She's even stronger than SHE thought lol. These nurses have been really impressed with her and one of her ICU nurses fell in love with her sense of humor. He was constantly laughing at something she said (this is where I get my sense of humor from ).
We still aren't sure when she'll be discharged but that's okay. I'm just happy to be able to sit and talk to my mom again. I was worried I wasn't going to be able to do something that simple, ever again. We couldn't let go of each other the first day she woke up in ICU. I really do think that a lot of people could learn something from this. Learn to appreciate the little things in life more often. You never know when it might be the last time you talk to someone, or even have them look at you.
And yes, I have listened to my gut once again and I've decided that I will be going to nursing school as soon as I can. I want to be an ICU nurse. I have the drive, the passion, and the heart for it. Plus I'll look pretty sexy in those nurse scrubs....
Inspiration is a powerful thing.

You'd be too hot for patients with a weak heart.
Make her join us so I can marry her too. :suggestive:
Romero! Pull yourself together - it's Tremor's mother for crying out loud!
I'm sorry Tremor - I've tried, I've tried for the past 6 years to get him to behave himself and it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm sorry.
On a serious note, I'm please to hear that your mother is doing better... Fabulous news!
Oh I'm sorry, the usual excuses apply and I'll hopefully recall what they were...Romero! Pull yourself together - it's Tremor's mother for crying out loud!
I get confused sometimes. In the less illuminated parts of the staff forum I have to meet certain expectations, and sometimes I forget where I am. Umm yeah, I think this was one of the excuses but there should be a few more. Femme taught me how to excuse myself, but she's right: It goes in one ear and out the other.As for Romero, I don't think the word "behave" exists for him. He doesn't know how to behave
¯\_(ツ)_/¯You know you're not very well liked when only two people Snapchat you- and one of them is Team Snapchat.
I was told by two different nurses today that once I go to nursing school, to come back to them and they will do everything they can to make sure I get a job with them. Cool beans.
