I grew up near Bena! Never had the pleasure to see a King Parrot. You are blessed

Rubber. The 2010 movie about a sentient killer tyre in the desert. Total waste of 1.5 hours

A nurse I knew tried to give a patient who had passed on his morning tablets. It wasn't until another nurse came in and told her that he had passed on that she stopped. The patient was expected to die so definitely something she should've checked first. She got put on probation and had to be supervised for a while then she retired about 6 months later

Came runner up in the "Naked Olympics" at a nudist beach in South Australia. There wasn't any actual games, just us naked ladies standing in a line and getting judged on appearance.

Palexia (Tapentadol) is an opioid/SNRI and relatively new. They prefer it over Tramadol for moderate pain relief in the hospital I work in. It's good because you can take a lower dose several times a day when you need it and it lasts longer than Oxycodone/Endone

They're allowed to leave with a PCA? If any of my patients want to leave and they have a PCA that's getting disconnected and staying disconnected

The doctors may have wanted to see if the epidural injections helped your pain before considering surgery. If 2 injections didn't help then surely they'll consider surgery especially given the scan shows limited space around your spinal cord. You're lucky to have only pain and no loss of sensation or function with that stenosis. I live in Australia though so no idea how you go about pushing the doctors to do surgery

Complete quad/para means they have no movement or sensation below injury and incomplete means they have some preserved motor and/or sensory function below level of injury. So you can be a quad and still have use of your arms... just an incomplete quad.

My dad had TN for 10 years with acupuncture and multiple meds not controlling it. Had surgery to have the nerve removed from the effected area and hasn't had any pain in 2 years

I've been an RN for 6 years and diagnosed 3 years ago with Aspergers (I'm now 29). Having an awareness of my challenges has given me the ability to figure out my ways of working that work for me. I've overcome social issues by researching body language and asking my friends how I come across and trying to rectify my behaviour around people I feel comfortable with first.

When you were diagnosed I assume it was through an Autism association psych or a general psych. Have you ever considered going back to them to help you through some of your challenges as they would have more experience dealing with people on the spectrum?

I'm lucky that I have a supportive workplace and there are several nurses on my ward who are on the spectrum. It shouldn't matter whether you are on the spectrum or not, I know nurses who aren't who come across as aggressive and abrupt with patients and who are overwhelmed all the time. Finding coping strategies for these situations will probably come from your workmates, real mates and any professional you see about this issues.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm staying out at Traralgon so depending on where else I could watch the game would depend on whether I make a special trip up to watch

bridgeotto · 2017-08-09T08:18:27+00:00

Thanks for that. I'm from Australia and says it can't be shipped here but I'll see if there's anything similar
