Drama

So I was working with a lady at work the other day. Everything was going pretty good. She was being cooperative, but a little lazy and I was helping her get out of bed. Then all of a sudden she dug her fingernails into my wrist. At first I thought she did it on accident but she didn't let go! I had to tell her "Let go of me now!" I immediately covered her back up and put up the bed rails and went to her nurse. He informed me that I had to go to the ER because the patient was positive for hepatitis C. So to make a long story, short, I had some blood work done just in case but the doctor basically said that since she didn't break the skin, I have almost no chance of getting Hep C. That was all on Thursday and today I still have the fingernail marks in my wrist. So crazy. I'm fine and there is nothing to worry about. I was shocked because she was being so calm that I didn't see it coming. That is one messed up lady. Luckily Ted discharged her right away and I don't ever have to see her again. So that was my drama for the week. Nothing else is really going on. We are just packing for our trip home and trying not to forget anything. We will be going to Idaho Falls first, April 5-9th and then off to Evanston until we drive home on the 14th.

Until next time...

Sounds crazy. We have to love those patients. So sounds like you get a break from your work that will be good. Drive safely.
