A long hard day

Well I am so glad that today is over, it has been such a long day with too many patients and not enough beds to put them on...if they want to fix anything in the health system they need to get my unit more beds.

I have been thinking i won't be able to last until October when i would like to go on Maternity leave. Work has been so hard and i spend so much time on my feet that i am only 16 weeks and my legs and feet are starting to get really sore, and its not like i can turn to someone i work with to help me out as i am the only one in my ward that does the type of work i do, which also means that i will have to train someone to do the work i do...fun...not!

I am thinking that i will talk to Dr Davis about how long i can work up til...i am guessing with my other medical problems as well that will play a factor. I have a specialist appointment in August with my Haematologist (as he didn't want to see me before unless i was having problems.) I think i will talk with Dr Davis when i see him after my 19 weeks scan....i have an appointment on the 16th June.


I guess the next big thing that i have to think of is my trip to Melbourne next week which i am really looking forward to as i haven't seen my older sister since before Christmas as she was unable to come up. so it will be a nice girls weekend as my younder sister is also coming with us...i wonder if they will let me on the flight first as i am pregnant? i will have to do some research on that.
