Wow things are a little different

Well as a sit here I realize just how much of a change major holidays can be. Right behind me is a whole cabinet of cookies, fudge, candy, nuts, breads ect ect. Nurses are known to like to eat (and discuss body functions and fluids at the same time). I have been a good girl though but everywhere I turn someone is wanting you to try a new recipe for pumpkin bread or this new cookie. When I look I gear my self over to the cheese for a few nibbles or a few nibbles of ham. How does everyone handle the "office/family" treats this time of year. Tressa

One good avoidance trick someone told me was say "Oh thanks, I'll have some later..." and that sort of stalls things....many times later never comes.

I've also been told to always have something in both hands.  For instance...a bottle of water in one hand and a napkin in the other.  That way both of your hands are tied up. Tonja

Everyone I work with knows that I have had the surgery so they don't even tempt me with sweets.  In fact, one of the Home Health agencies brought a tray of goodies and the crew put in the break room.  I didn't know it was there until I was ready to go.  They are very protective of me!  Oh, I also agree about being able to discuss bodily functions and fluids and eating.  I'm a nurse too!  What a special breed we are!  Heehee!
