    I'm only keeping two of them. The other 4 will be finding homes. I'm just hoping to get them fixed before I adopt them out. I want to at least get the girls fixed, since they're the ones that would actually end up having more cats.

    There's edith, spot, and zoe that I'm keeping. Unky, alty-cat, aura, and mop will be getting new homes.

    Hello! Morning here! :)

    Hheath, if you can try to constantly blow with your nose, that should solve the problem. I never really did that until I learned to do somersaults with the wall of the pool. At the beginning, water would go in my nose and my! How they 'burned'!

    Try blowing slowly with your nose instead of your mouth that should work. If you're going deeper, then, special masks are required, with the bottle of oxygen :) , or if you know how to do snorkeling, it'll be fine. I never learned how to use these under water though.

    Hheath! Poor unky! :( Take good care of him. I don't want him to become one-eyed...

    I won't. And it's easy now. I failed the first thing because it was all pop culture related projects. Not my thing. Read and analyze, like my summer course is, is my thing

    Unky, I've tried that. I end up running out of air, then water goes up my nose and I drown. Not a huge deal. I don't go swimming much, anyway. I just wondered if you had any other suggestions.

    Unky's fine. A few hours after it happened, that eye was just slightly less open than the other. It's fine now. Now even a little red.

    It was just the most pain-filled gut-wrenching cry I have ever heard come out of an animal. It scared me and had my heart racing and lodged in my throat. I've heard cats who've gotten stepped on, shut in doors, had a chair leg land on a tail or paw, and any number of household mishaps. None of them even came close to the sound he made.

    CONGRATS, EMOP!! What color were your robes? Are you planning on going to college? Did a lot of friends and family show up? Are you having a party?

    Slowly hheath, you breath out with your nose slowly when you swim.

    I wonder now... when exactly do you get water up your nose? Because in all of the four styles (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly) one can manage even without blowing water, to have a longer breath and go faster in competitions.

    Try keeping your head horizontal when you swim.

    Diving is another matter :)

    My robes were white two. The boys had to wear maroon.

    Are you planning on getting training or a certificate in something? Or taking a few years off before deciding what you're going to do?

    Looks like all the important people showed up. Are there any pictures?

    Are any friends having parties? Don't mind me, I just parties.

    If the files are too big to upload, try posting them to Facebook or photobucket then posting them here. That's what I have to do with my pictures.

    You can also try a place called tinypic. Seems to work pretty good in most places. Just don't forget the URL because you can set a time limit as to how long they are on there.

    Spot and zoe are currently trying to dig through a couple mirrors to get at the cats in them. Spot even tried looking underneath them. I love my goofball furbabies.

    The scariest part is she mentions the "first time" she might have gotten pregnant.

    And I have to end my horrible night with THAT!! Too many babies having babies. I wish she could have visited me at work last night. She would have changed her mind as soon as she saw the fetal demise of the 17 year old patient I had.

    J, I don't know how you do it,I would be a terrible nurse,id probably just cry my way through a shift.
  • Jun 6, 2010, 06:19 AM

    Most shifts are happy, but every once in a while we get a baby who has either passed in the womb, or is slowly passing. Last night was the worst of the worst... I sit here drinking a beer to relax because of it.

    After 2 years of this, this is the first time I have experienced this particular situation. I have to get it off my chest, but don't want to be a downer, you know.
  • Jun 6, 2010, 06:23 AM
    redhed35

    How do you deal with situations like that?

    What do you say?

    ( I'm saying that out loud to myself)

    How you deal personally,I can't imagine.
  • Jun 6, 2010, 06:35 AM

    It's hard Reddy. To tell a 17 year old that she is going to have a baby, but the baby is not going to live is HARD.

    What do I say? That's hard too. Each delivery is different. This one, for example, the baby may live for a few minutes, to an hour, outside of the womb, but there is no lung tissue to speak of. The baby can't breathe.

    We have to tell them the truth, no sugar coating. I guess that is why I am so straight forward here. Mom was only 20 weeks pregnant, too early for viability. We have to tell them what to expect. No crying; eyes fused; can't really tell the sex; no possible way to save it's life.

    We encourage them to call their religious leader (pastor, priest, etc), if they have one. Keep visitors to a minimum, keep them full of pain meds.

    How do I deal personally? I cry. I cry with my patients. I don't hide it. I have to keep in mind that this was meant to happen, but why we will never know.

    God, it hurts. It hurts to watch these women go through this when I can come home and hug my children. And then I get so pi$$ed off when these little 14 year olds think that they want a baby because the baby will love them unconditionally, or they THINK they are in love. What I wouldn't give to bring them to work with me.

    Its good that you have such empathy for the mothers J,that's what makes you good at your job,that's what they will remember when the dust settles,in their grief when they speak of the worst experience of their lives,the way you helped will help the healing.

    I remember a nurse in ICU when my daughter dying,she was so kind and gentle with me,ill never forget her,she is so much apart of that time.

    The women you helped last night will remember you too,you gave her a gentle hand and you were honest with her in a dark time.
