I'm having a bad day.



Today is my bad luck day.

Expecting to have my IMF duty today after work, I brought a change of clothing and a towel and shampoo and facial foam and everything. Which meant I had to bring a bigger bag. And it's heavy.

Then in the bus on the way to work, my nose was running. I hate morning sinus.

In the ward, first thing I did was ask the staff nurse if I could change a patient's NGT as it's due. The SN was like "haha wah so fast but ok can", as in so early in the morning I'm already telling her what I want to do. Hahah. I booked the opportunity first. BUT THEN, when I get around to doing it, with my facilitator assessing me, it wasn't successful. TWICE that I did NGT insertion was unsuccessful. But it's not because of my lack of competency. I definitely know this skill. So anyway what happened was see, we had to check if the NGT is placed correctly through the nose into the oesophagus and then into the stomach by pushing in air and listening to the stomach via the stethoscope for the "brr" sound. I did that but I couldn't hear anything. And I suspected it was in the lungs but my facilitator kept pushing in air and listening and pushing in air and listening so many times! I was like, give up already, it's not in the stomach, lets do it again. But NOOO. So we did it twice, the second time still cannot hear but she tried getting some water in. I was like, are you sure you should do that? But she proceeded to feed the patient. After about 30 mls of feed went in, the patient vomited the feed! It just came out of her mouth! I was like what the fuck! And my facilitator rushed to pull out the tube and propped her up and pulled her forward to make the aspiration come out. And I was rushing to get the suction tube and all the while thinking the feed went into her lungs, we should have confirmed that there is a sound there (there was a sound but I thought it was super faint). So it was a little bit traumatic for me but I was it's ok.

After that my facilitator got a call from the school that the Academic Affairs wants to see me. I was like WHAT?!! What the hell's going on? What did I do wrong? Then I panicked a little thinking that maybe it's because I failed my exams and they had to see me or something. So I was super worried and really down kind of thing. But I was like relax Nad, it can't get any worse. But it did.

During break, I got a message from the guy at Red Cross in charge of the Red Cross volunteers for the IMF, that I'm not able to perform my duties for IMF because my security pass is not ready. Right there and then, I was really convinced that I'm having bad luck. I was damn pissed when I got that message. I was super disappointed and utterly dismayed and upset. I wanted to really say something sarcastic to the person but of course, I couldn't, I shouldn't. I was so looking forward for this volunteer duty thing for this IMF thing today ok. I've never looked forward in anything for so long and now it's become like this. UNBELIEVABLE!

I also got a call from Tini. She had that call from the Academic Affairs too. So now I had 2nd thoughts that maybe it's not about my exam result. And I suspected that it's about one of my lecturers, the one that I said something bad's happening to her. Ya. I was like what.......... It's such an old story (not very old but ya) and it's still not settled? So I had to go back to school. My whole tutorial class had to go back to school. One good thing that came out of this was that I was still able to leave work early AND I got a ride from my lecturers to school.

Yup so like I said, today is really a bad day. Especially about the IMF thing. SIGH...

Wilson will be home tomorrow!!
