what a first day :)

1 minute read time.

Well i am shattered but i feel so good ,i knew this job had been given to me for a reason, it just feels so right, like its meant to be,

I started on surgical ward today ,apparantly one of the hardest wards ,but i dont dont care i love hard work,  most of patients are post mastectomy, reconstruction ect, lots having chemo and radiotherapy , and i loved it, they were all quite happy to let me do their obs ect and care even though im not actually allowed till ive completed next 2 weeks

I think for someone whos been through what i have it could have been very difficult emotionally , but it wasnt i felt such empathy and do you know what ,just to make those such poorly patients smile ,just made me feel so good , it feels so right and i cant wait for my next shift which is on medical ward ,i also got some great feedback form other staff too which was nice ,

Most of all i feel like my confidence is back , im me again and i know ju would be so proud of me ,he wanted me to be happy again, and im def getting their .

  I know all shifts wont be like that but just to see those smiling faces well its all worthwhile,  and do you know what a smile and a bit of tlc is all most patients wish for in hospital , and i will always strive to do that ,

love and hugs to all xxxx

    Hi Jenni,

                  It is brilliant that you are so confident and  Ju  would be very proud. How wonderful to have someone to make patients smile and give them the care they need.  I only wish there was more like you in every hospital ward.

                   Take care,

                          Lots of love,

    me puts my arm around your shoulder and gives you a lil hug jenni..

    you have got everything spot on and you are going on JUST as i need loved ones to go on for me if / when im not around anymore.

    you actually honour the memory and you honour ju everyday which is how it should be...

    it freaks me out to read posts from people that are allways so down when someone passes......but im NOT taking a pop at anyone you see us patients have one huge thing on our minds all the time and thats what will happen to loved ones when the end might come..we need our loved ones to be ok....

    we NEED those we love to go on and live and smile for us.......

    course its not that easy and of course bad day will come along...

    we NEED our loved ones to have good days as well..

    you couldnt be doing better jenni...

    you are a credit to the memory of ju you really are...and i am proud of you as well.....

    your ju would be smiling from ear to ear jenni for the way your living for him ..

    big hugs   xx
