Simple Things Make Me Smile
Some things that make me smile
*Watching my niece Breana and my baby cousin Taylor grow always puts a smile on my face.
*Getting a random fry in my box of onion rings or vice versa.
*Knowing that tomorrow is my day off.
*Finding $10 in my pocket.
Here's a conversation with one of my patients last night:
I thought that she would just be a regular old white granny. But, this chick was hilarious. She looked like a little old witch and her laugh sounded like a witch's laugh. I asked her why she was admitted to the hospital. The charting said that she has COPD and was experiencing shortness of breath. In her words she said "This bitch in my high rise (an apartment high rise for the elderly or disabled in DeKalb) thinks that her shit don't stink but she wrong... She was hurtin and all she wanted was a squirtin. I was going to deck her ass but there aint no fightin in the high rises and I cant get kicked out cause they're going to put me in a retirement home. And I aint helpless like these other bitches round here." She was the best patient of the night. She had me rollin all night. She said the most random things in the world and I would just burst out in laughter. I hope that when I return tonight that she is still there.
