Update for the full moon weekend:  I’m pretty sure I got to meet a few people that have strong beliefs regarding ‘Keeping It All in the Family’ (brother/sister –> husband/wife couples) … we didn’t actually discuss it, but … Yep, I’m pretty sure.  [Hark – is that a banjo I hear in the background???] 

And – for the first time ever in my 20 years as a nurse … I was actually ‘hit on’ by a trach/vented patient.  Again – not sure – but that was my take.  Wow – how special I felt, when he gave me a ‘come hither’ look with his weepy, crusted eyes and slowly brought his finger to the side of his lips (Betty Boop style) in response to my question, “Are you in pain?” … The ‘icing on the cake’ for ME – the fact that he was sent to the ED for ‘copious, tenacious yellow secretions’ … YUM!  Nope – just can’t have these interactions in any ‘ole job!
