Heh! We both came to the same conclusion.
I had a patient hyperextend on me during a transfer and I dropped him (thankfully I got him positioned over his bed first) and it messed up a bunch of my rib cartilage.
Oh, All Right! :o)
Hehe, 2J the patient dropper. Remind me not to hyperextend on you.
Wow, got two of the three things I wanted to accomplish this week at work, done. All that's left now is the big, days-long project.
heh. Into every nursing career, a little patients must fall. The idea is to control the fall and prevent or decrease the injury sustained "to the patient". Had I just dropped the patient that hyperextended, he would have fell between the bed and the wheelchair. I managed to awkwardly get him to the bed before he fell and dislocated the cartilage in my ribs in the process.
It was a poor transfer that came from a false sense of familiarity with the patient...he'd never done that before and I didn't think he would. When you work day after day, month after month with a patient (as you do in head trauma rehab), you risk that false confidence.
I never made that mistake again.
Hyperextending, by the way, is when a patient who is curled into an almost sitting position and is transfered to the bed from the wheelchair, suddenly straightens...in this case mid-transfer...straightens stiff as a board. I was transfering a grown man Talon's size and I probably weighed 97lbs at the time. (Long distance runner, so pretty strong still.)
We went to see Goblet of Fire yesterday. We REALLY enjoyed it!! Clare was amazed by the editing job in the early part of the movie; the Quidditch World Cup and the attacks in the campground. She said it was good, but felt 'hurried'. She compared it to the fight scene at the beginning of Batman Begins, which she thought was extremely well done.
*snort*
The llamas have their hooves full fighting the badger demons.
The agency you work for hasn't offered another assignment?
Maybe they will?
Taking a break from homeschooling - the house is a DISASTER. Have been doing writing myself, but for fanfiction. Have also been working on my crochet - I go in fits and starts, but I actually finished a capelet to wear to my cousin's wedding. next project is a little jacket in this gorgeous autumn red yarn.
We are excited about seeing Narnia as well. I think that is the movie I am looking forward to the most. Hubby wants to see King Kong, and I will go with him because he indulged my LOTR fandom for three years. Its the least I can do, although I have never been overly fond of King Kong. I do like Peter Jackson though. The previews look AWESOME.
*waves* to everyone - sorry I havent been posting here. Really havent had anything remarkable to say.
wishing more Republican Congresscritters would get on the House Floor and let fly with some truths about the Democrats and their cowardice. I think we should name that one Congresswoman who read the note from her Marine constituent "cowards cut and run, Marines never do" an Eowyn Congresswoman. It took guts for her to do that and it was No Man who struck the beast!
Warmest regards to my Hobbit Hole friends!!
Sounds good! :o)
I forgot to take a picture of that big sweet potatoe. It's half consumed now.
Joshua and I love it. Matthew won't touch it and Steve's back on Atkins Induction and it's not part of the plan.
I wonder if I will see the same? I have to admit - it looks VERY good.
Just wishful thnking on my part though.
Do y'all know if theres been any talk from Jackson about releasing LOTR in back to back DVD with even more deleted scenes put back in. I am convinced after seeing ROTK EE that there STILL are filmed bits that he didnt include, but used for promo pictures. That bugs the heck out of me.
I haven't heard of any plan to re-un-edit them again.
And I might get a little tired of buying yet another edition of those movies. :~D
At some point we need to just consider them done :~D
As long as any deleted ones put back in take place BEFORE Mount Doom. I don't think I could stand any more fluff after that.
Too bad that concept never really caught on with George Lucas. Or Michael Jackson and his plastic surgeon.
