Today was Halloween, but more importantly, it was my check-off day. So I woke up to my alarm at 6 am in Jalyn's room. I'd gotten maybe an hour of sleep last night, but I got up, grabbed my jacket and puffer, said bye, and left that place. On my way out of Towers, after descending twelve flights of stairs, I saw a piano in the laundry/commons area, so I went in a played for a couple of minutes. It was kind of fun.
So I left there, walked all the way back to 333, which took a little bit, got in my car, and drove to Nana's. I really wanted to just go to sleep, but I had to go to my check-offs, they were in less than two hours. So I took a shower, got dressed in my scrubs, and left. I didn't even really review any this morning. I went to McDonald's and got a steak, egg, and cheese biscuit. That felt like a bit too much for this morning, but it's okay. I ate that in my car, and went up there at about 8 am.
I got to Crisp and reviewed my rubric and made sure I had all of my supplies out by that vending machine area. So I was doing that for 10-15 minutes, and then I went up to actually do them. They called Kaylen and I right in as soon as I got there, because Kaylen also had this time slot. She chose the trach ones first, so I did wound care and Foley first. I was so nervous and maybe still a little drunk. Just kidding, I know I wasn't drunk, just groggy. But I got through those two. On my catheter one, the water syringe exploded everywhere again. But Mrs. Stinnett just said to keep going, so I did. So I got both of those done and the only thing I know I did wrong was forget to wash my hands after taking off the clean gloves. Then Mrs. Stinnett and I started talking about Halloween movies, which was kind of fun. She's a really nice teacher. Then next I did the trach ones with Mrs. Hall, and those were a little harder. I thought that I still did alright though. So I finished up, grabbed a donut that CJ had brought on the way out, and went home.
I got home and slept from about 10 am to 2:30 pm. The grades were in by this time and I passed the wound care and Foley insertion, but I failed the trach ones. Dang it. So I'll have to make those up next week. I really don't know what I did wrong, I guess I wasn't careful enough while I was sterile. I am pretty sure I didn't do anything else for the rest of the day, I don't really remember. I definitely did not go out for Halloween, I was still too tired. I know I was out some with the dogs, played some Club Penguin that night and watched Chamber of Secrets.
So I'll just say that was my day. It was boring and stressful this morning. But that also wraps up October I guess. This month as a whole wasn't too significant. I'm trying to recall it a bit. I did blog most of it, so that's an accomplishment. But yeah, today was a 3/10.
