My gross job

First want to say thanks for all the prayers for our trip. Our vacation to Disney was amazing. The best trip we have ever taken.

Since I am typing this at work and I am having a really gross night I figured I would share. I remember how much my dad enjoyed this when I worked ambulance. Tonight I have gotten to touch a pectoral muscle (chest muscle). A patient of mine decide to use holistic med to treat her breast cancer. She now has no breast on one side and you can see the muscle.

Another patient has been the victim of poor nursing home care. I got to touch his coxxyc bone and in the morning I will get to touch the bones of his lower leg where his leg was ambutated.

I have also had some great oders tonight: rotting flesh, digested blood, emesis, urine, feces, C. Diff.

Here's hoping you all take care of yourself. Holistic med has it's place but its not the only way. Prayer is also a great healer. Just remeber that God gives us all a talent. The talent he gave me was to help you. My nursing skill come from Him and only Him. If you have a family member in a nursing home visit the frequently. This is how they get the best care!!!!!!

God Bless you Angie for being able to do this. I have no desire to see blood and guts and bones. TV shows give me enough. I do my part at the sharing table much less dramatic but I hope still helping people.
