Poison Control

i was working on friday and things were getting a bit crazy- i had just gotten an ambulance in, we already a few patients in, and two others checked in right as the ambulance was rolling in. Well the other nurse I was working with asks me right during this wildness..what is the number for poison controll...some kid had swallowed something i guess. Anyway, i tell her the number and she writes it down and calls. She dials the number casually and cradles the phone on her shoulder, poised to write down the operator's suggestion. She looks a bit confused- here is what she heard on the other line (and what she told me she was thinking)
Hello and thank you for calling. You will be charged between 37 and 67 cents a minute for this call (hmmm when did poison controll start charging for these calls)

You must be 18 or older to place this call, if you are not 18 please hang up now (wait, you have to be 18 to overdose now or eat things you shouldnt)

Welcome to the seduciton hotline (WHAT!!)

she had dialed 1-900 instead of 1-800... what a difference one little numbe can make :)

Other than that it was just busy...i worked memorial day because I want the 4th and christmas off...work was busy and now im so tired. I cant wait to sleep in tomorrow and cuddle sawyer...i missed him SO much. Im going to start doing sign language with him tomorrow also. im going to do milk, bath, eat, drink, sleep, please, thank you, and book for now and then go from there in a few months when he starts picking it up. We also have his 4 month shots and checkup on friday and im sure that dr w is going to give us the go ahead to start giving sawyer food! He is def. intersted in food so i think that he will enjoy it. Also i weighed him at work and he is almost 17 pounds already which would put him in the higher percentiles again. LOL- i guess he got both his grandpas heights because zach and i both are kinda little!

Oh, and I found a deer tick on me on friday night- my knee was hurting like a bruise and i kept rubbing it, i thought i felt a tiny scab and when i looked it was a deer tick...i hadnt been outside at all that day because i had been at work the entire day.... it was all red and sore even after zach pulled the disgusting thing off...so dr g wrote me a script for a z-pack so i dont get lymes disease... and it is ok to take while nursing thank goodness...and the redness cleared up within 24 hours which is good. Zach put some sort of tick killing stuff down in the yard the next day, and down by the fire pit too....now i want to get a few chickens again...they eat ticks.
