7 painful nights

last week i did a solid week of pure night shifts ie from 10 pm to 8am

for a while i thought the world just gone crazy

day and night had lost their definition

i was up on my feet all night tending to drunks, psychopaths and one rare occasions...really sick people

if u think Emergency Dept is busy..

try visiting us after midnight

it's a MADHOUSE

people screaming (when they are not actually in pain), people trying to hang themselves, ingesting bucketsload of antidepressant meds or slashing their wrist (u name it, we have a full list of ways to kill yourself) and of course people who lives in a world of their own, whose breath is so full of ethanol u would smell it from metres away

security guards and police officers are common sights (thank God!), because u really are in serious trouble without them arounds

yes, nightshifts are painful

what's worse is having to be apart with my little princess

so hubby sent pictures of her every night (so sweet!)...and i would ogle them during my 40 minute break




Night 1




Night 2



Night 3





Night 4




Night 5

Night 6

Sadly, there's no pictures for night 7 because hubby had gone to work that day (he said it'll be 2 weeks this time, which i doubt very much)

Good new is, i'm now off for 2 weeks

..plenty of time to play with mia-chan and cure this self-imposed insomnia

it's not that hard, i sleep both night and day now-what's that called ?hypersomnia
