They Who Shall Not Be Named (Twisnibbins) IX (Page 51)

Oh Beth! Its fabulous! Did you leave it somewhere for Hector?

(because its all about Hector)

Not really. Just think of how much fun it would be to legally jab someone in the butt with a needle and get paid for it.

I've watched The Blonde jab herself with insulin a jillion times. She should get a $1 for every time she has to either a) test her blood sugar or b) shoot up with insulin. 

Mmmmmm... MILF and cookies... er, I mean Pom Poms...  

LOLOL

I could post it in his inspires........

hehe or see if he finds it himself... would hate for him to miss out!

Well, I'd sure like to try your cookies. I'll bet they're warm... and soft... and gooey... 

If we keep posting enough tonight we'll bury it and he won't be able to find it easily.

Chemo is tough. Its really hard to work on a cancer or a burn ward for any length of time, I would imagine. Its got to suck the compassion and empathy out of you after a while. 

Its the Beth (Unbelievably F*ing Hot Legs) Virus!

The hardest part was that it was pediatric, and I was there for 3 years. Bone marrow transplant, liver transplant, lupus, different anemias, and LOTS and LOTS of chemo. Very sick kids, not-so-fun treatments, some of which were intramuscular injections. Poor kids. Compassion has never been a problem for me--keeping my emotions in check and refraining from reading the obits to this day--well, still working on the latter. I've been out of the hem/oncology ward for 4 and a half years now, too.

On the bright side, when I had to work my holiday shifts it was kinda uplifting. It was really nice to see families being grateful for what they had, not p.o.'ed because they're stuck in the hospital during the holidays. Adults and ped med/surg was like the latter. The families on hem/onc would just bring their celebrations to the hospital. It was actually a happy place to be around Christmas.
