What a week !!!!

1 minute read time.

Well, I have had a brilliant week.....some hard moments too. As i am on  the renal ward we have a lot of end stage cancer patients with renal failure and 2 of which we have lost this week. I have found this extremely hard to deal with but i know that whilst i and the other staff  were caring for them they had fantastic care. I spent time just holding their hands, combing their hair, washing them and talking to them whilst doing everything in my power to comfort their devastated relatives. A lovely lady who passed away yesterday told be i was her angel Smile  for me that means i am doing my job right and the way that i want to do it. Not consumed by numbers and timeframes like some nhs staff i have observed. 

I am finding the hours hard but as long as i still get to spend time with my kids everyday i can cope with it. 

I hope you are all doing aswell as possible and will try and get onto chat and catch up soon.

Thanks for all my birthday wishes too by the way, it was a very emotional day and i missed dad more than ever but i got through albeit with lots of tears. 

Anyway today is my eldest daughters 10th birthday so we are off bowling soon. My mum has just taken her to the Merry hill centre and spoilt her so now its my turn!!!! Happy Birthday Jenna!!!!
