And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
We survived Monday!!
I didn't sleep great last night, and I'm a little bit tired this morning. Nothing that some caffeine won't help, but I'd rather have stayed in bed at 6am.
Yesterday was mostly chill, although I did have one patient, an older person who told me all about their life. They sounded like a miserable person, and possibly a slightly senile one? It was a 20 minute call, during which they told me all the dirt about their entire family, and about their highly personal physical problem that they were coming in for. It was one of the more uncomfortable calls I've had to deal with. I was really glad I had bread right after, because I needed it.
Dad continues. Nothing really new to report, though I see in today's labs that his white count is shooting up, so we'll see what that is going to mean. They finished his round of antibiotics yesterday.
I'm so tired of this. He's been on the ventilator for 8 days now, and there's no end in sight. When they take him off, he's been hyperventilating and they end up rehooking him. It's just frustrating. This was sold to us as a short term solution, and instead, it's been dragging on. I continue to not be sure that we're doing right by him.
Last night, my sister noticed that the cat was missing a fang. Not sure how it happened, but she has no fang there. So, we all panicked a bit, and set her up an appointment at the vet next week, so we can see what's going on. She's acting fine. Playing, eating, drinking. She's getting up there, and hasn't been to the vet in a while, so it's probably a good idea that she get a check up. Of course, this is causing massive anxiety for Jess and I.
We had our first cut of meat from the farm, and oh wow. Apparently, a steak that has been dry aged for 30 days has a marked difference from supermarket steak. It was so good, buttery and a little sweet, and SO tender. Just really delicious. I am now depressed that they only do this once a year, so I have to wait until next summer, or buy dry aged steaks at an astounding price from our local butcher. We'll see how long I can hold out til I crack and pay the price for a couple of pounds of steak.
Tonight we're trying the ground beef, so we'll see how their hamburgers are.
And on that note, it's time for me to hop off and start putting on pants. Everyone have an amazing Tuesday!
