It's now been 24 hours minus 10 minutes since I slept. Why can't I sleep?? Why can't I turn my thoughts off even when I take sleeping tablets?? I managed to work another 12 hour plus shift today on less than 3 hours sleep. It was a good shift though and I learned a lot, I cared for a woman in HDU who was 21 and had a mitral valve replacement just over a month before finding herself pregnant. Labour ward just amazes me as you just don't know what's coming next. I also cared for one of the axilliary nurses daughters first thing this morning who was having her first baby, she ended up with a forceps in theatre and when I saw M the auxilliary crying when she held her new grandson that was me bubbling away too.
I really should get some sleep shouldn't I? I'm on for the next 2 nights....
