I'll elaborate...
Last night at work, one of my patients had somehow managed to get her oxygen tubing wrapped around her body. Knowing luck as it is in my neighborhood, I could just see her slipping out of her wheelchair and end up strangling herself on the tubing. She's very confused and it's not outside the realm of possibility.
So as I'm bent over her trying to get her sorted, she (I can only assume) thought I meant to do her harm. I know this because she reached up and swatted at me, scratched me (ripping my necklace from my neck) leaving nice claw marks behind......*note to self: clip her nails* and finally grabbing my shirt and pulling for all she was worth.
With it being Friday, it was casual day, meaning no scrubs (whOOt!), so I wore a v neck t-shirt and jeans. Thank God I had a cute bra (thank you Nicky!) on because not only the residents' in the vacinity got an eye full, but my staff did as well. It took me and 2 nursing assistants to get me untangled, but after a 5 minute struggle, I got free.
After getting pulled back together, cleaned up the blood (yeah she's got some sharp nails) and stretching my shirt back into place.....well as much as can be expected, I was just so happy for one thing.
At least I had a cute bra on!
Me and the generous donator of the cute bra's!
