another long night...it's been a rather long week...anthony sighs in place of breaths...a bit pathetic, but no one to impress. school work is hanging with a since of failure, like a carrot suspended by a string held by a stick. but he must not give up.
lots of sick people, normal. lots of drunk people, normal. it started raining so it has damped morals around here, also with depleted health. sniffs and coughs echo the halls during the night. anthony thinks to him self, "if i get stick now, i might as well just kill my self." spring brake on the tip of his schedule, but still too far to reach. focus.
one pt, near comtose. 88 y/o male. family at bed side. found on the floor of his home, alone. found on the floor for about 72 hours! skin ulcers have formed all along his left side, from face to feet. also he laid there in his own fecal matter and urine. his skin was blistering, puss filled and falling off. besides the fact of the fall its self, hematomas, bruised bone and deep tissue, atrophied muscle...the list continued on through COPD, congestive heart failure, every one is surprised that he even survived this long! his family stated that he was a stubborn man, "well stubborn or not, he has a long road to recovery," anthony thought to him self...
"i just want to go home," sleep has been hard to come by this week. one more hour. 2300 could not come any sooner.
