Hi Tracey, I went back to sleep. I caught up on my forum reading last night, everyone has been very busy. It saddens me when people have to stoop so low to try to hurt others. I felt for you. But remember you might be hated by some, but you are loved by many.

Yesterday was a tough day with dad. I felt he could benefit from some home O2, so I rang GP, only a specialist can order it. So rang his specialist, he says "that's a great idea". WTF. If it's such a great idea, why didn't u arrange that. So difficult a few days before xmas to arrange these things. Then I said to him, I believe he needs palliative care. He agreed. Yet 4 weeks ago when I mentioned it he said " oh he doesn't need palliative care yet. He doesn't have pain ". I knew some doctors are a little naive to what palliative care is, but really. Sorry I am ranting, was a frustrating and sad day yesterday. Frustrating because I feel like I am banging my head to get Drs to listen, and sad because I have to accept what is going to happen, and I hate seeing him like this.

Every palliative education I have ever been to indicate that doctors are the worst when it comes to palliative care, with the exception being palliative care doctors of course.

Make sure you use the resources available to you ie doctors, CNC's, CN's for advice. When you add love to the nursing mix, it can affect your nursing judgement and approach. You have the experts at your fingertips. Use them.

I am just a phone call away if you want unsolicited nursing advice or profanities. Xo

Just don't share that fact in the forum though. Turns out the haters hate hearing about my enchanted life.

Who knew me sharing my day in a thread that was designed for off topic chit chat could create such angst?

Anyhoo.. To save the world you need to 69 either Madge from Neighbours or Irene from Home and Away. Pick who you gonna lick, baby.

Hi all,

I've decided to leave the forum from 1st of January, 2016.

New year, exciting times ahead. So yeah, I am going to do this. :)

Little Jordy Angrypants!

I am so happy your new year is brimming with opportunity. I have had a soft spot for you ever since you joined kicking and screaming in every thread.

You are strong in spirit and you dance to the beat of your own drum, and I admire that.

Your cyber friend

I quite literally just spent the last half hour talking a nursing friend off the ledge.

Nursing can be an absolute blood sport.

Yes I can see why he would be the best bet, but I fear I may have to decline. Unless him doing stuff to me while passed out counts?[DOUBLEPOST=1450772048][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh no, that's terrible. I hope your friend is able to get some support, but how traumatic for you both.

Goodness! Hope all is going to be alright. How are you feeling about it?

It's a tough job at times. It really is. You give so much emotionally and you have so much responsibility legally and sometimes that can be suffocating.

She is a brilliant nurse who did what she thought was best at the time, and no one died, so she will be fine.

I feel happy and sad. Happy because I have a friend who values my opinion enough to confide in me, and sad because I know the weight of this profession can be hard to bear/bare at times.

Thanks for asking.

The good old drunken unconscious cunnilingus. We've all been there...

Of course it counts!!

She will be fine. I had her laughing by the end of the conversation. Her words "Only you can make the word cunt sound socially acceptable..."

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Anyway it's time for me to embrace my non fabulous reality and make my hard working man some dinner.

Have a great night. Xo

Ha, thanks, since this morning I have been able to get an appointment with his respiratory specialist, and he will see him tomorrow, and we can start him on home 02. And he now has an appointment with a palliative care Consultant. I have been told from former work mates that she is very good. I worked with one that was fantastic, but she isnt in dads area. Ive been in the palliative care sector for 16 odd years, never had to face it from the other side! Thanks for being a friend . If I liked girls in that way, I would pick Irene, dont care for Madge

Well to help you with this dilemma....

Pfeffer is pronounced more or less the same way pepper is, but with the pf at the start and the ff instead of the pp. the pf is a bit weird for english speakers but that is actually just how it is pronounced. The p followed by the f to make a kind of combined consonant. The er is more like a in Peppa Pig. So it's kind of Pfeffa. The singular of Nüsse is Nuss. And the u there is pronounced like oo in book. Double s the same as it would be in English. The plural Nüsse has a different u and it's more like oo in moose. Or... Noose! Or ew in 'ewwwww!'. The e at the end is kind of a cross between a (like Peppa) and eh like eh? But it's not emphasised. So it's kind of like Noosa. That's not quite it, but it's as close as I can get from here and if you say PfeffaNoosa people will know what you are saying.

I hope that helps with your dilemma! And I hope you get to eat a few. I have to go buy a bunch of them and similar German Christmas cakes/gingerbreads tomorrow to take to the UK for Christmas at my brother's.

I seriously thought I might get some Christmas shopping done today. No way is that happening, I just went to buy an umbrella to facilitate public transport and that was too difficult in the crowds.

Looks like it's waiting until Christmas Eve-eve yet again.

Did you see the 3 hour wait today to exit Castle Hill shopping centre:eek:. Madness!
