Happy Thursday Everyone
Since Janine didn't see my post on yesterdays thread, I got an A on my first nursing exam of the semester. There were a small handful of A's from what I was hearing from other students. I am so happy!!! I have to write one of 3 major careplans this weekend. I have most of the data, I just need to put it all together. It shouldn't be too horrible.
I am having a hard time recouping from my 13 hour shifts on Tuesdays. I want to stay in bed and don't have any energy. I have to find a way to stay hydrated better on those days. I usually only have one Achievone drinks a day, but I think I will up it to 3 on clinical days. I can't wait until they get over their shortage and it isn't so hard to find. I don't want to feel like I have to ration LOL! I ordered some Click, but haven't tried it yet.

Well,at the tail end again but hey, I am here. LOL Today so far has not been a good one the IC support board I have been a part of since it started has closed. I pray we get it up and going again soon There are others but this one has no cliques and lots of understanding and support.
For those of you that are familiar with IC, it is Interstitial Cystitis. I have the most severe form of the disease and right now I am in a severe flare!! I was doing fine until yesterday and how I can barely stand up! IC is kind of like having the worse imaginable bladder infection. There is no cure and treatment is limited. I have tried all of them with NO luck. I have had 4 surgeries to remove the ulcer's from the lining of my bladder and I will be doing this again next month. This will give me a few months of relief. But until then I am going to have to live on time released morphine.
Sorry for all the whining.
Janine, I didn't make it out of the house yesterday ...you and understand why from this post.
