In a Different Space

This has been a strange week, good, but strange. I am more engaged in work than I have been in quite sometime.  I am exhausted when I get home, but it feels good.  There is a lot of stress, and Kat takes the brunt by listening to me groan, but then she says, no more work, you are here and you are mine.  That makes all the difference in the world to me.
So here I am, a week later. I find that I don't have time to blog. Things that I have discovered have been thrilling and empowering. First off, I am down to 246.8 lbs. I am only 2.8 lbs off of my lowest weight last year! I received my new pants. I ordered them a size smaller than I was wearing. When I put them on, I was very surprised...the fit and are a little big :) Feeling good about the progress I am making. I am realizing I am invigorated by my new job. I am realizing that my job reminds me of when I used to work in the ICU. I love the fast pace and how I have to really engage in the job. I don't have the anxiety of drug administration or missing a critical symptom. I am finding that patient care is coming back quickly and there is a wisdom and confidence behind the tasks that I am doing. It feels good to feels great to use all of my experiences and knowledge to help our patients, but also help my team optimize our ability to provide excellence in care. I am strong and feel great!
