Right I don't want any of you to panic or overreact but I think Mutley and el'coopo have been abducted by aliens.

I am so worried!

While I feel sure Mutts will welcome the anal probing, Coops is frigid and will HATE it.

How long should we wait until we call the police?

DAMN!

Okay I will take another stab...

You had your labia tidied!



That is poor nursing care and education when it comes to safe practice and the distribution of medication. I have only been a nurse for 5 minutes and somehow I am doing some education regarding medication, and I might bring up your scenario including your description of the "rock of Gibraltar" for the visual (I will leave out the trimming of your labia though, some things are better left unsaid...). Patients don't automatically know the side effects of meds and it up to the nurse to educate them.

Yup anything with codeine morphine at al have to be taken with Metamucil, Senekot, or some other "moving" medication... NO EXCEPTIONS


Learn it or weep :(

Your nursing skills are outstanding!!!! We thought we would be taking a Dermoid cyst of an ovary, turned out I had severe endometriosis all over the place (even my hip and appendix). Full marks to you nurse [MENTION=30612]TraLa[/MENTION].

If for purposes of your studies you want to know more I'm happy to PM you but ill spare the general forum .... I'm sure it's TMI for most already. And yes you are welcome to use my rock of Gibraltar example. And don't get me wrong I definitely needed the pain killers, but I could have cut back on an endone here and there ..... and I probably wouldn't have indulged in spag Bol and the other lovely home cooked foods my hubby bought in for me ha ha ha

I do want to emphasis tho the nurses were very cool. I felt the love while I'm their care and really have the utmost respect for nurses.

Before any abdominal op....I advise people to only eat porridge and soup and omlettes for the three days before the op...(NO MEAT)

That helps. :D

I disagree.

Aperient's can be terribly hard on the gut and Metamucil can be horribly constipating if not taken with enough fluids. Natural is always best. Usually we try the natural remedies first, pear juice and high fibre diet, depending on past history, age and comorbidities of course. But if there is no Mr Poo Poo within 48 hours, we bring in some help in a jar.

Whatever the course of treatment, always do towards the end of the shift, especially if its day 4, thats my advice

And you know when I started to really think about it, I thought in the wards you act at Day 4 BNO and it is always an afternoon shift task .

So your advice would coincide with our work practice on the wards, so I suggest that would make you 100% right RN Mutley.

I am not sure where I plucked 48 hours from?!

Ha!

Haha you are right, it depends on ward and hospital, but I always start to get bit wary day 3, and REALLY act on day 4, then leave so I dont have to deal with the aftermath ;) Code Brown

None of the doctors I ever worked with look like that :(

Perhaps it was for the best? Just think how improved your patient care was due to the lack of distractions!

TV does like to deceive us though; I'm yet to meet an attractive priest.

Well I actually am a female. It's not as exciting as it sounds tho because I always have been. I know a few on the forum have referred to me as he and I just never corrected it just cause I wasn't offended and I figured it wasn't important. So in some way, in many of your minds at least, I have now had a sex change lol.

Re the poo ..... No I wasn't aware but I was made pretty seriously well aware of it when I finally went 4 days after the op! Coming from the general anaesthetic, a couple doses of pethadine, an oxy every morning and evening and two endones every 4-5 hours it felt like I as passing the rock of Gibraltar! It was 1.5 weeks ago now but I still have nightmares!!!

Sorry Chump....I am guilty of the gender bending. :( Glad you are on the mend! :D
 
Nurse talk. Op talk. Probing talk - how was it [MENTION=29803]mutleyp[/MENTION] ? ;) Chump has had a sex change. Doctors aren't sexy - sad face.

And yep, Monday AGAIN tomorrow!!!
