Wow I haven't been on here in like two years. I'm about to turn 21 in August, Ive been working in a hospital as a NA for almost a year, moved out of my sisters in July 2022, and my boyfriend and I are hopefully having our first baby in 2025. I'm stable, happy, managing. Off psych medication entirely except St John's Wort 1-2 times daily, Ive been through so much the last year and a half.
I'm currently grieving the loss of another patient except this one I fully witnessed Thursday morning, a mycotic aneurysm, which is rare but heartbreaking my patient was part of the small percentage of people it happens to, and no they will not wake up. I love my job, but this is one of the hardest things I have to cope with. It's not often I lose patients or have code blues, I don't work on a critical care unit, but when it happens and Ive known them for a while or had them for a few nights, it hits and it hits HARD.
