Back to Work

I had so much anxiety about going back to work…and it was all wasted energy. I had a perfect shift, got to spend all night laughing with some of my favorite people and no emergencies and no admits and no covid pts. I’m so glad I became a nurse. Again.…

Grief, Middle Aged Women, Mommy Makeover, Motherhood

Sidewalk Chalk and Motherhood

Post-Op Day 6

Worst Night of My Life

Last night was arguably the worst night of my life. I now know what 10/10 pain is, so don’t try and tell your nurse 10/10 if you are able to be on your smartphone or watch TV, or do anything other than keep still, close you eyes, breathe through it,…

Go Easy On Me
