Well, still going strong...

  Today I had a pretty good day, and since I've been feeling blah, I thought I'd write in this journal. Overall, the day was busy. The few consistent patients we have were all out for testing or up for discharge (hurray!) so we did a lot of "checking in" and talking with the nursing staff. One of our regular patients that wasn't at testing fell asleep when we sat him up on the edge of the bed. I didn't know that was possible, but I guess he wasn't kidding when he said he was tired today. We had some evaluations too and most of them went well. We had the first patient with wrist restraints this morning (dementia, combativeness, hitting/biting and trying to pull out lines), but luckily when we got into her room she wasn't using them and was really calm for us. She has a 1:1 staff with her and she will do anything that girl asks her to do, so we just worked through her to see how she was moving around. We ended the day with an interesting evaluation... the patient was asleep when we got there and we tried to wake him up but he never really did wake up the entire time and ended up singing a song that we couldn't understand all of the words in answer to every question we asked him. It was pretty interesting and we decided we would let him go back to sleep and we will try to see him again tomorrow. The day went by pretty fast and I hope that the rest of this week does and the next 5 weeks til it's time to move forward. :)
