I am going crazy…  I can’t sleep.  I have been awake since 3:00pm Friday afternoon.  Ok, I was being paid to stay awake for 12 of them, but i should be tired and I am not.  I am not feeling so great and usually all I do is sleep when I don’t feel good.  But this is different.  My stomach hurts but I’m not feeling nausea or anything like that it just hurts.  I mean it actually hurts like on the right side.  I have no desciption for this pain.  I think I finally feel like one of my patients.   I am thinking of having the surgeon on trauma duty with me tonight give me a check up, maybe run some blood tests for me see if anything comes back.  Because this has just gotten worse since yesterday.  I am not a cry baby I’m a good soldier.  I have been working with a crushed 5th toe for 5 weeks and I have only mentioned it twice on my blogs until now. (I dare anyone to read them all and tell me I’m wrong :P)  I can take pain, but this is worse than anything I have felt before.   I’m a nurse damn it!!! I’m not supposed to get sick!!!!   I’m pretty sure I read that somewhere. Didn’t I???

Maybe it is gas…. I have just never had gas pain last this long without something major coming out if you know what I mean lol  I’m trying to be more lady like.  But it is hard sometimes.  Being in Iraq I was surrounded by mostly guys except for the few female nurses there were.  So I learned to smoke cigars, cuss, and just hang with the guys.  I was honest with my boyfriend when we first started dating.  I told him I can shoot an M-16 assault rifle and a .45 automatic handgun (i prefer the 9mm Glock b/c it is not as bulky) with good accuracy.   And I can crack a chest and give open cardiac massage in under 2 minutes without a saw :)  Which basically means…. If I shoot you I know how to fix it

Well, my pain isn’t getting any better and I am rabbling on about nothing, so I will go read I guess.  Maybe that will help.  I have been enjoying a book about the history of Stonehenge.  You know those are some biiiiigggg ooooollldddd rocks.  I hope to see them in person someday.  Take care and be safe.  kisses
