My first nursing job...
Auntie Mary had lumbar fusion surgery. This basically means that she has had a piece of her hip lopped off and put up by her lumbar vertebrae to stabilize them so the bones don't rub together when she moves. They had to do this because one of those little discs in between the vb ruptured, and she had no cushion there anymore for when she was in any kind of motion. I would imagine that it must be what chalk feels like when it is scraped against a blackboard... if chalk could feel pain... you konw.
But now it's fixed, and she is recovering with her cane, her cat, her sisters, and me, at home...
So far the extent of my nursing work has been eating pizza, laying on the couch with her, and watching Kissing Jessica Stein with the commentary on DVD.
This is the life. I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
