Happy Halloween

this is how we do halloween in the ER....


No comment necessary.


Gauze anyone?(Its an ER...we have a plethora)


My killer costume...I know you're jealous of my silver pants.


So I have been getting crap from Cassi for not updating my blogg but I had a serious Iphone malfunction and all my pictures are on it. The top half of my screen stopped working. The things at the top of my screen are such things as my calender, text, and photos. This may be all and well besides the fact that my phone is hacked so I can't just take it into the apple store to get it fixed(they look down on the hackers) I have to unhack it and play dumb then rehack the new phone. So needless to say...it's a process. So I am sorry for my "lameness" and will try to be better.

The "dudes"

After LOTOJA we went and stayed with our friend Jane in Star Valley. She has horses and was nice enough to take us out and let us ride them. They are so fun and we had a blast. Andrews horse kept trying to eat along the way and Andrew couldn't stop him. Jane called us dudes but I still had fun. Thanks Jane! Jane's mom cooked for us a delightful meal with the most amazing potatoes that I have ever had. I snuck some out of the fridge later that day and they were awesome. mmmm potatoes.

LOTOJA

Here is Andrew's race pictures. I know a little late... Anywho he did amazing! 208 miles of pure fun...just ask him. I am so proud of him because I could never do that and I think he is crazy but he did and he is awesome! So go ANDREW!

Spelling Bee

I went to my girlfriends baby shower the other day and this was her cake. The kicker is she had two cakes both of which were spelled the same. REALLY! REALLY!

Mr. Kangaroo

Alright, I know that I need to blog about Andrew's race and a few other things but I am at work and I don't have the pictures so I will blog about other things. How many people get to hold a baby kangaroo? Well I did and it was quite possibly the cutest thing that I have ever seen. It was really soft and really cuddly. It even hopped around and was really cute. This one is actually used as a therapy pet in a nursing home and was just visiting the ER for a few hours. I know you are all turning green with envy.
She even wears a little diaper!
And she likes to eat my hair.

Boating

So I am a little behind on my blogging, sorry. I will start with our boating trip to Jordanelle with April and Brandon. It was really fun...just ask Andrew. He loves boating. I, however, had tons of fun and have posted some lovely pictures for you lovely folks. I was a little sore the next day but it was worth it.

Sticky Fingers

I love my job. People are always coming up with new and interesting ways to entertain me. A recent visitor to the ER was discharged. She decided that she didn't want to carry her backpack around so she hid it under a car in the parking lot. She later returned for it and could not find it. She was frantic and called security and they were helping her look for it. Well, security found it first and opened it up to find 2 full bags of hospital supplies that she had stolen. Ya Ya everyone steals from the hospital; it is a daily occurace. However the supplies that she stole made me laugh for about 45 minutes. I am not sure what you are going to use these for but here is a picture of the most interesting things. I have included a list of the stolen items for your reading pleasure and I will leave it up to your imagination what she is going to do with these things.(most of these useless outside of the hospital)
Catheter kit
EKG pads
blood culture bottles(have live bacteria in them and smell like rotten eggs if accidentally broken)
blood tubes
Christmas tree(for the oxygen, hooks canula to wall O2
roll of tube gauze
blood arm band(used to identify pt recieving blood)
IV connector
Bottle of saline
stinky smell spray
label maker refill(makes sticker copy of wristband)
mouth swab
Hibacleanse(soap)
assorted first aid supplies(not shown)
She was arrested and taken to jail on 2 prior warrants for theft. I sure want to know where I can find a black market cath kit.
