A Little Rattled

I've been so busy lately, like I'm sure all of you have been to! Why is it that this time of year people get especially busy?

So here's whats been going on lately. Work is good but I can and will say that for the 1st time in 2 months (cause I've only been at the new job for about 2 months) I am a little nervous around one of the new kids that was admitted yesterday that suffers from psychosis. And people suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic. psychotic, literally means abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality." And that is something that he has lost - a loss of contact with reality. People experiencing psychosis may report hallucinations or delusional beliefs, and may exhibit personality changes and disorganized thinking. This may be accompanied by unusual or bizarre behavior, as well as difficulty with social interaction and impairment in carrying out the activities of daily living. People who are clinically found to be psychotic may simply be having particularly intense or distressing experiences

Though I don't let on I'm a little uneasy around this patient I am. I make sure it stand tall and be firm to show control eventhough part of me questions my safety. But I do feel torn. I feel like all it could take is one little thing to set him off and I just don't want to be that person that sets him off but I still need to inforce the rules in the class and that pertains to him also. One of my friends at work (one of the nurses) told me to becareful around him. He is a big kid that towers over little short me. I guess I have to watch my back and stay sharp. It's just a little uncalming knowing that at the drop of a hat something could happen.

It's just going to take me some getting used to with my new schedule!!! But i have been and will be reading.. Hopefully i'll get on a new schedule quick.. and Hopefully my new lil cousin will get on a schedule for her mom and dad...

Grandpa Is Ok

I just heard that my grandfather is doing ok.. He made it through surgery and the doctors were able to put in 1 stent! I guess 1 is better then nothing.. He is resting comfortably and will hopefully be able to come home tomorrow or the next day!!

A big thanks to everyone for thier well wishes and prayers. It is greatly appreciate! You have no idea how much it means during a tough time like this!!! Thanks again!

Grandpa Update

Thanks to Rebecka from Mommy Moments for making this picture for me!! I will post the other ones she did later on today!!

My grandfather is still in the hospital! They are moving him today to another hospital where a Heart Surgeon is going to try and put stents in to open up his veins and arteries! Awhile ago the doctors said his veins were too small and closed for this procedure so I guess know we will just have to wait and see...

I tried to visit him the other day but had to wait for over 2 hours because he was having another sort of procedure. By the time it was over the waiting hours were over and I had to go home!! Visiting hours are only from 12 to 2 and wold you know I showed up and it was 11:58 and the nurse wouldn't let me in!! A little aggravating, especially since I had my 90 year old grandmother standing with me, lol....

I will keep you poosted with how everything goes today. My mom said it could be dangerous or a big let down if the Doc's can't get the stents in.. So we just have to wait and see!

Damn You Google Analytics

So i have had Google Analytics installed on my Blog for about 6 months now and it wasn't until just recently that I have been obbsesed with checking my stats! Especially since some of my other Bloggy friends have been having problems lately with some of their visitors!

There are some updates I've been wanting to give to all of you and after checking my Map Overlay and all of the visits I've been clocking in daily, I've been getting nervous about some of the closeness(location to where I live) and quanity of my visitors! After talking with Brian - he mentioned that at least for a little while I should "nix" speaking about certain topics dealing with possible finacial increases(if you get my drift!)... Call me paranoid - but like I said - I'm noticing some weird things; isn't

technology great!?!

Google Analytics is really cool and if you don't have it installed on your blog format you should think about it! It's so cool to see who is checking your blog, where they are from, and how many times they are

stalking visiting you! But then on the other hand - you may start to get paranoid like me - it's a little creepy to know someone down in the next town over is checking out your site multiple times of the day...

But I guess I'll get over it!

Hopefully I'll be able to share good news soon! We'll see!!!

MIA... Still?...

It feels so refreshing to be online.. I think I'm obbessed with my computer, lol.. I have figured out the problem with my internet connection. And it goes something like this: the wire running under the ground my my landlords house to mine went bad and now verizon has to come out and assess the problem and then try to reinstall new wiring.. And we all know this isn't going to be a quick and easy fix.. GEEZ.. Don't they kow they have a computer obsessed blogger lives at my house?... And that I am going through withdrawl!!

I am thankful that I can connect at my babysitting job on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays... So i guess that's going to have to do for now! I just feel so out of the loop! I have been visiting everyones blogs because I can connect fromn my newe Blackberry Pearl Phone! It's just a lil too hard to comment!

Thanks for listening.. I wanted to give you all an update!

Please don't forget about me!

Grandfather Update

My grandfather is home and resting... Brian & I went to visit him Friday night.. Though he doesn't look great - he says he is feeling much better!

I had a talk with my grandmother and just hope I got through to her. She said she'd call me next time if something happens!

I cried the whole way home - thinking about what it would be like not to have him in my life...

Let's keep our fingers crossed that he feels ok for awhile!

Thanks for all of your kind wishes and words!

UPDATE

My Blog redesign is 60% complete. I am hoping that it will be done within the next week or two! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
