I got sent home today. I hurt my back last week. I've had scoliosis since I was a kid and just recently it started acting up again. So, I went to the doc and found out my lumbar spine is curved 10 degrees to the left, causing my hips to be uneven and a pinched sciatic nerve. Super.
I get a note from the doctor to do absolutely no heavy lifting. Nothing over 10 lbs. I take the note to my manager today and she flips out. Acts like it's my fault that my back is hurt. She sends me off to Employee Health to see if I can get clearance, but first I have to do vitals. Well, by the time I am done and make it over to EH, they are closed. Meanwhile, She is running around frantic to find someone to work for me, which is the real reason why she was upset. I was the only aid tonight and am the only aid Wed. and Thurs. so that means she has to cover those three shifts in case Employee Health won't let me work. So another one of the aids came in and I was sent home. I am going to EH tomorrow morning so we will see what happens.
I asked her if I could do light work and still stay on the floor and she said no. She has to have an aid that can lift, which is ridiculous. I work in pediatrics. I NEVER lift patients, with the exception of moving them up in bed. Now why can't the nurses move them up in bed for a few weeks while I am recovering? The majority of my job consists of things that do not require lifting or moving, so needless to say I was very annoyed. She said they were going to stick me on another floor to file. Whatever. That's fine. I'll deal with it.
Right now I am watching the train wreck that is Jon and Kate plus 8 unfold on television. My heart aches for them. I loved them as a couple. Her book was so fantastic and so uplifting, however somehow I feel like it was all a lie. I hate that they can't get it together. I am more disappointed in Jon and his childish actions and behavior. He actually had the nerve to say he was "excited" about the future. I can understand his resentment towards her. She was pretty harsh to him on the show numerous times, but no one deserves that. And for him to cheat openly to the public? What a fool. Does he not understand his kids will be seeing that and asking questions? Not to mention the ridicule they will receive at school. He blows my mind. And to pull the "I'm only 32" card? So sad. You should have thought about that before you got married at 22, sir. That's the life you have been given and you can't take it back. Such an unfortunate turn of events. I almost don't even want to see the show anymore. I was hoping they would quit the show to work on the marriage. They both kept saying they were there "for the kids." How do you think your kids got here? There had to be a loving marriage relationship in order to bring children into the works. If it weren't for the marriage there would have been no kids. That's where I think people screw up. They put their children above their spouse and that, in my opinion, is wrong. Oh well, I'll be praying for them and their family.
I think you are on to something with the spouse about kids idea. I was thinking about it today. It is like when women have children they totally forget to foster and care for their marriage. They become bossy and controlling just like Kate and the husband feels all of this pressure to provide. What a ruthless cycle. I'm heartbroken today becuase of J & K. I would have never watched if I would have known it would end this way.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. They were only married for 9 mo. before they went to the fertility specialist. Maybe that's why there is such a problem. They had no time to just be married and enjoy each other. I think waiting several years to have children is key in a marriage, unless you have special circumstances. I definitely think the show contributed weather they want to believe it or not though. Kate put her kids and the show before the marriage.
