unfortunate...

How unlikely would it be to get sick or not feel well and you are not aware it?  Or let me rephrase it to - how likely it is that you are under the weather yet you're not aware of it?

Hmmm... possible.

Sentinel have a lot of anecdotes in her pocket to share every time I come back in the Kingdom from my every other week world-alienating  work as NP.

She said, she was dumbfounded knowing our other Mama Sia did not know she has renal failure.  Hmmm, that is too unlikely and unfortunate.  Before all of them (our patients) step foot in the Kingdom, I am pretty sure their PCP or Nephrologist explained to them their condition, that they needed dialysis.  It was unfortunate to hear that Mama Sia had the biggest surprise in her life -- her kidney is not working anymore!

And so did Sentinel, she had the biggest surprise in her entire hemodialysis stint, stated "na-werla si aketch neng!  Tinusok na't lahat, tatangalin na lang ang catheter, hindi pa nya alam na may sakit sya sa bato at sira na ang bato nya".  Ah, I cannot translate that... honest, it's better written and heard in Tagalog.  She did reinforce educating Mama Sia about the kidneys and dialysis.

Now.....

How likely would it be that you already ditched your girlfriend, and she doesn't know it yet? 

Very!

I won't remember you....

I won’t remember you.  I never remember anything that hurts me.   Harsh huh!     Acknowledging the pain and feeling it is one way but the easiest way there is when you have pain is to suck it up and forget about it.   I did that.   Done that.   I learned to be cynical and stoical.   I never remember anything that hurts me.   When my father died, I only cried the day he was laid to rest.   I cried hard in 2013 when I left my mother in a hospital bed without all her senses and memories…and the day she died.   Crying helps.   Instead of avoiding our feelings, we can simply feel them and forget about it.   However, when events and circumstances overwhelm one to the point where they are an emotional wreck --- there’s always a medicine for it!   So, Mrs. M got her dose.   She passed away.   It was sad.   She was a happy soul.   Someone just hurt me.   I won’t remember you. ...

Sunday's child...

I may not have a fair face, but I am a Sunday child.  Forty-something years ago, on a wee hours of a Sunday, my mother had a 10-pounder.  I was born from an unfortunate situation of my parents who were in dire need to uproot themselves from the very place they called home since their childhood. Most of my siblings were born and grew up in the same hometown.  So growing up in a very different environ caused havoc to some of my older siblings --- who are unable to see the tin line between leaving and living.  On the other hand, I did not realize the difference between us and them (my older siblings) even they kept teasing me and the other two younger siblings "Moros".  I remembered how I was schooled by my older siblings about the sun, the moon, the stars...and why the sky is way up high.  I've learned how greed can cause you hunger and misery from the story of the monkey and the turtle .  I even learned the eye-flipping story of the pin...

so who's on the floor?...

Today's a freaky Thursday... it should have been a throwback Thursday huh, but nah, we do not have that in the Kingdom.  It is either you go out here smiling or freaking-out!  And everyday is a deja vu, not a throwback! But today is freaky in a different way... So me and the Black Widow switched days, that is why I am here on the other side of the Kingdom with the Extraordinary People. At 5am, I was surprised to see Black Widow in the floor... eh, I am pretty sure that I should be in the floor today.  It turned out-- she was here to help as we are short-staffed... and she will be one of my Techs, freaky, LOL! 7am, the Iron Man arrived in a hurry, mumbling about how bad the traffic was from I15 to 91 to 55 to 405.  Who wouldn't?  She lived in the mountains LOL!  A fashioned mountains anyways, with the biggest known casino in town. And there were three of us RNs -- in the floor for the first time...how prolific! or Epic???  Since we a...
