Day +8 - Goodbye From the CBYs!

That's Convery Bullock Yiauekis.  Yes, we are leaving tomorrow and putting everything (nursing and blogging) in the capable hands of Ralph (with an assist from Jim for the weekend).  We will be back, as a family, at the end of March (I'll be down on my own a few times in between) at which point things will be so totally different!  The Trough will be a thing of the past, and instead we will be fretting about low bacteria foods and whether a walk to the park will be too tiring (maybe we'll drive instead?).

Unfortunately, for the time being, The Trough continues to have new depths.  Patient quite nauseous today and spent most of her time trying to sleep it away.  On the plus side, we are on the peaks of nursing!  We've scored several shifts in a row with Bre, Barb, and Heather--all feature just the right mix of competence and compassion (and COH is into continuity of care so when a nurse is on several days in a row, you'll keep getting her/him).  Ironically enough, in her drug addled state, my mom finds foreign born nurses to be the most challenging--accents muffled by masks--and gets a little frustrated trying to communicate with them.

I hear that it's raining up north and it's done the same on and off here today as well.  I hope it continues to rain as much as possible, just not between the hours of 12:00 and 6:00 tomorrow since that's when we'll be driving, not flying (as Una might suggest).

We'll leave you with some final thoughts from Una.  She has a lot to say these days!

p.s.  Lest you worry about the loss of Una in your lives, we keep all of the grandparents well stocked with daily Una pics, so Ralph will have many from which to choose.
