Anyone losing their hair?

by

Ok I’m taking a poll:

How many men reading this have a receding hairline? or even a bald spot? Ladies? Is your mans hair getting a little thin?

The reason I’m asking is that lately I’ve noticed that my husbands hair is getting a little thin at the crown. He’s always had a very full head of hair so I’ve been very surprised to see this spot developing. His father has a full head of hair too, which is why I supposed that Chris would always have a full head of hair.

I guess I shouldn’t have thought that though. Thinning hair is a common enough problem for both men and women. Chris uncle is bald so I know there are some hair loss problems in the family.

Hmm if Chris’ thinning crown gets bigger or loses more hair I might have to send him to Dr. Larry Shapiro. LOL Sorry a little joke. That’s a doctor that specializes in hair transplants. I’m pretty sure Chris won’t need that. It’s not that bad and if it does get worse I think we can live with it.

A full head of hair is not guarantee

by

My husband and I have been together for 18 years now. It sounds like a long time, but it really doesn’t feel that long at all. Of course we haven’t been married that long. We’ve only been married for 13 years.

I was just thinking how when Chris and I first got together he had such a full head of hair I thought, great, this guys never going to go bald, he’s got so much hair!

It turns out that I wasn’t quite right about about my prediction. I wasn’t wrong, but I wasn’t right either. You see, his hair line is receding slightly. Just a little bit around the temples. Unfortunately that’s not all. In the past couple of years I’ve noticed that his hair has been getting thinner at the crown.

I blame it on his love of baseball caps. he used to always wear them and he’d tighten the band so much that it would always leave a big mark in his forehead when he’d take the hat off.

It’s not like I think he’ll end up bald or that he’ll need a Hair Transplant or anything, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he does end up with a small bald patch at the top of his head.

I guess there’s no guarantee.

Don’t steal my pen

by

I’m strange. I’ll admit it.

I’m very particular about my writing pens. It’s not just the type of pen, it’s the fact that it’s my pen and I like to know where it is when I want to use it.

Ok let me explain … my husband is a pen stealer. This is probably why our small household of two goes through sometimes as many as two packages of pens a month. The packages I’m referring to usually have a dozen pens in them!

We both work in the hospital and that’s another area where you guard your pen with your life. The hospital doesn’t supply the staff with pens. They probably got wise years ago. So, as a result of there not being any pens at work, and often no one to borrow a pen from because everyone knows they’ll never get it back … we buy our own pens and take them with us.

Ok, so Chris brings a pen to work, I do too when I’m working. He could use the same pen each day until it runs out of ink like I do, but I guess he’s one of those people that either give their pen away out of kindness or misplaces it. So he’s always getting a new pen.

I have pens that I like to write with and they’re in the hands off zone on my desk. Well, if Chris can’t find a pen he always tries to steal one of my writing pens! ARghhh … Of course if he does manage to steal my pen without me knowing it that’s when I’ll discover that the latest package of pens that we bought is empty.

Sometimes it feels like a very strange obsession, but after writing this out I realize that almost everyone that works at the hospital must have a bit of a pen obsession since they are so hard to come by at work.

ER madness

by

Speaking of my nursing career … I work in the Emergency department of a community hospital. I’m awfully lucky since the hospital is only three blocks from my home. I can actually walk to work! How great is that?

Now, I’ve been off work for a while due to my illness but I think about my job a lot and I still keep in touch with the nurses in my department. They tell me about some of the strange cases they’ve seen come in or how crazy it got in the department during the last full moon. (yes its true – there is a full moon effect, ask any emergency service worker!)

One of the saddest cases that I remember is someone who was brought in by the police. It was a girl who’d been dieting using Ephedra but she was over-dieting .. basically not eating. She was just skin and bones. On top of that she also liked to dabble in drugs … well the combination of starving herself, using diet stimulants and the drugs that she’d taken caused a severe reaction.

She was in bad shape! I was actually surprised that the police didn’t call the EMS to bring her in when they found her. Anyway, I spent most of that night taking care of her and worrying over her. She pulled through but it’s just mind boggling what people do to themselves.

I don’t have an end story for her. Unfortunately that’s the way it is in the ER. We do what we can to help people and often they are still very ill when they leave the department to go to surgery or to a floor for further care. Unless we specifically follow up on the person – and who has time in the ER, especially if the patient is no longer your patient, you just never know if they got better or what happened.

Anyone else an ER nurse?
