early day

A gift of flowers

The “new and improved”

ENFit system is breaking 

And leaking every day. 

Patients suffer so corporations 

Can save a penny. 

The sale is made.

The hands have “shook “

And the nurses get to deal with the mess. 

Not pictured: 2 complete 

Linen changes and bed baths 

where the tube leaked 

Onto the patient, his clothes and pillows. 

Why anyone wants to be a nurse

Is sometimes beyond me. 

Lots of frustration 

Usually when you’re super busy. 

For my Florida trip. 

“Old Lady” med minders. 

Size “00” pills fit exactly. 

Kratom in legal in all but a few states. 

It’s legal in Florida. 

I am flying with a weeks supply. 

Up to the bathroom so many times! 

Lots of fluid. 

Speaking of fluid. 

And Little Old Ladies. 

Intermittent dehydration can cause 

You to be… well… constipated. 

Which has never happened to me 

After my gallbladder went away. 

Let’s just say that this helps. 

Lol. Very pleasant to take

I promise I won’t turn into a 

Little Old Lady who talks about

The weather, her cats, 

And her own poop troubles. 

This place didn’t survive the pandemic. 

They serve full meals 

While you watch a movie 

On the big screen. 

So much construction. 

It’s everywhere! 


The long shot. 

I lose my pants about 3 times a day now. 

Still working with no relief in sight. 

Week 3 of 6 and 7 days. 

Every thing else has come to a halt. 

I literally go home. Go to sleep. 

Get up. Go to work.
