No gore...............now that's boring!


Mingalicious but scabalicious too! As you can see we have closure, well not totally but nearly. There are still little bits along the scar which collect fluid underneath and then pop to drain the fluid out! Kinda like a blister really but a bit more sinister........

I have started my care of the acutely ill adult course which should be very interesting and useful, well apart from the 7000 word essay I have to do to pass it :(

We have started first choice on the ward which is a system we use to encourage better discharge planning and have pts leave the ward before 11am on day of disharge therefore improving efficiency, saving money lost on poor bed usage and in theory it will mean we can have elective pts in earlier and not have a rush of admissions at the end of the day. It should work and I was in charge the 1st day we did it and when the head of nursing came round I was able to say we had discharged 3 pts before 11am, cha ching that was nice!

I am talking on friday about missionaries in India..........an extra talk to blend with the honourable Mr Carey series.

The new discharge system sounds great! When I was in hospital, they didn't discharge me until 3pm though I could have left much earlier- and that was with the ward manager chasing the two people who needed to see me before I could go, but who had forgotten about me!

Glad Mr NN's wound is getting better.

Well, I waited ages to get out after having Daniel.....and they wouldn't even let David remove my venflon which was killing. Never mind. Justmake sure you consult your friendly OT in plenty of time before discharging those in need! Oh, and do I look like an egg to you???!!!!

About scarring: Try Health Aid Vitamin E High Potency Cream. It says, 'As a moisturiser apply to stretch -marks, surface scars, lines, blemishes,wrinkles and rough, dry skin.' I think it's helped scar formation for me anyhow!
And if this Choice System works then this particular carer will definitely rejoice... no more long waits for TTAs etc.
