I like your face

I had a pretty good week at work this last week. Sometimes you come home and there are just those stories about people that stick with you. This week in the ER was the week of old people. By old people I mean over 90. We don't have a large ER but at one time we had 8 people (which is full for us) and out of those 8 people 5 of them were over the age of 90! Crazy huh. Well the one that stood out in my mind was a 97 year old who was in for altered level of consciousness (crazy I know) and as I went in to start his IV I was trying to talk to him and explain that I was going to start an IV and draw blood but he just seemed to stare at me with a blank look on his face. I started the IV and he didn't move but low and behold when I went to tape down the IV I accidentally pulled one of his arm hairs and he said "ow that hurt." He looked over at me, and this is what made my day, and said "I like your eyes, no wait, I like your face." The elderly say the funniest things!

It was also my seesters birthday, I say sister but we are really just friends. Yay Lori, she is exactly 10 years and 10 days older than me, I think I get extra excited about her birthday because I know it is so close to mine! Anyways her wonderful husband threw her a surprise party at El Sombrero, so disappointed I didn't get a picture of Riley in her party dress but that is how it goes I guess. Happy Birthday Lori!
