Remarkable progress has been made in the 30+ days (off nitric oxide, off CVVH, PEEP from 24 to 12.5), but it does feel like sometimes we've taken 1 step forward and end up 5 places back.
Pt actually settled once we evacuated the stomach last night...amazing how well you sleep after you're relieved of 2L of fluid in your belly. Came in tonight and a complete 180 from the misery of last night - pt actually smiled (first time I've seen it in 30+ days). Of course, we had a trip to CT at 2000 (fun start to your shift), fortunately looks good under the hood from that perspective.

Booked a frozen four hotel this morning. Grabbed a room in the Sheraton a couple blocks from the rink. Rooms are already 369/night so Mookie used points.

We're at Le Meridien - wasn't cheap, but not too bad. It's a converted court house.

Back at it tonight. 2 pts, but both appear to be on the mend (for now - *knock on wood*). Came in 2 hours early for a meeting and had to get a parking ticket to park in the garage - better not have to pay in the AM!!!!! :mad: :mad: Am allowed to park there for night shift, but apparently, not for meetings that start just prior to my shift!

Good to hear.

I had an NP friend who would park in the Drs lot. They wanted her to park in a satellite lot when her office was 10 ft from the Dr lot. She told them to pound sand- tow her and she would quit. She saw a ridiculous amt of pts. They ticketed her every day. She never paid. Was stupid.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #180: Holiday Onslaught

Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale Lodge! It's close to 90 here today. I almost don't want to leave.

Had an office event here this morning with a member of the US Wheelchair Rugby team. What a cool guy. Threw some excellent shade at Canada, the #1 ranked team in the sport. Cool guy, very genuine and thankful. Which is saying an awful lot as he's a quadriplegic. Everyone should have this guy's outlook on life. The world would be a better place. I would love to see these guys win it all in Rio at the Paralympics.

Heading to Tampa in the morning. HP1015 - what's the weather look like up there?

Tuesday didn't start as a Tuesday, then it really tried to Tuesday, but ended up not Tuesday-ing. In fact, it was an anti-Tuesday. I'm just as shocked as the rest of you.

Good evening Lodge.

Off yesterday and today and tomorrow.

Got the pup back from the trainer yesterday. Pup did a tremendous job and the trainer was impressed. The trainer asked if I or we would be interested in entering a NAVHDA (national association versatile hunting dog association) event as he thought that pup has potential to score in the top of the field. I informed the trainer that pup has strong genetics as his bloodlines has elite scoring pedigree. I showed trainer the pups papers/bloodlines to which the trainer really encouraged us to get involved in competitions. No way. Takes money and time.

Took the pup to a game farm today and holy shiat he was a pro. He's a natural. I am a novice when it comes to hunting pheasants. I partnered with an older guy who is a seasoned pheasant hunter as I wanted him to provide his opinion on my pup and give me some tips on how to run the dog. He told me that he has never seen an 8 month old pup work the field like my pup did. It is quite an impressive sight to watch a pointer work.

I love that stuff. A good friend has a German Setter http://s3.amazonaws.com/pet-uploads.adoptapet.com/1/7/a/107028192.jpg?336w he (and now his wife) got from a private seller (they aren't into the pedigree stuff, btw). Was pointing out stuff when she was just a little tyke (I remember holding her in the palm of my hand). Probably could have been a good hunting dog. I dog-sitted often and even now, years later, I visit, and the dog remembers me, and guaranteed will cuddle up with me on the couch.
