January

Oh but isn't January a loooong month? It seems weeks since I posted a blog and yet its only just over a week!
Planning my son's 21st Birthday party for February. Can't quite believe he is going to be 21! That means I have lived in this area for 21 years! We moved here when he was 3 weeks old. Our family GP will be coming to his party.. hehe :D she is now feeling decidedly ancient as she has looked after him all this time :)
It's been difficult this month because I am still suffering from the migraine headaches which have been with me since the 4th January. The nausea has lessened but I still have the phantom smoke smells and blurred vision when I am tired. Sleep is difficult to get and when working nights, it makes things very difficult.
Thankfully last week I had a new nurse with me to train and she was able to help me a lot. She made the decision to quit her job last week tho and handed in her resignation on Friday. Wow what a big step. Yet, I understand her reasons. She had begun to dread coming to work, the thought of going there was making her physically sick and our manager was of no help.
Her problem is that the field she works in is so restrictive in this area there are very few jobs she can do. She faces the prospect of looking for a job with thousands of others and leaving nursing altogether after 10 years in the job. Very sad!
Off to nightshift again tonight, three nights on, of which this is the first, followed by one night off, then three day shifts!!
Oops... who can see my migraines getting better in this time? lol
