My night nurse showed up like Mr. Magoo on crack. He started to talk to me like I was 2 and unable to comprehend everything going on around me. Needless to say, this slightly aggravated me. Well, as usual, around 3 in the morning, he came in to draw labs, check my vital signs and weigh me. For some reason he was all fidgety and couldn't figure out how to place the cap to draw blood from my lumen. Instead of starting all over or getting a new cap he pretended to draw labs, left without doing vital signs and then came back 30 minutes later to 'get one more blood sample'...this meaning he actually did what he was supposed to do the first time he came in and interrupted my beauty sleep. The man took an hour to do what most take 5 minutes to do. Now, after already taking an ambien to help me sleep, I've been wide awake since 3 am. Above depicts exactly how I feel about THAT. On the upside, a new shift begins in 3 hours and I shall be rid of Mr. Magoo for good. (BTW, he just randomly opened my door, said 'oops' and turned and walked away. I think he had the wrong room. Someone help me or him.)Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Mr. Magoo & Ambien too...

Mr. Magoo? hehe thats pretty funny. I love the pic :P
Hey Babe, It surprised me you knew who Mr. Magoo was since that was from my childhood! Of course, you are like Ry & Eric - watched all the old cartoons! Man, I can't imagine putting up with him especially since I could not stand Mr. Magoo cartoons!
David got the puppies on the treadmill, we will have to send you photos. Their next Vet appointment is February and they might hit 3 pounds this time. :)
We love & miss you. I think about you constantly...Send us your address. Love, Dave & Leona
scaaaaaaary! i wonder if he was really even a nurse? my mind is starting to go off into a SCRUBS episode...
next time you see him and he tries to draw blood just say, "you betta don't!!"
oh geez! mr magoo needs to goo! :P you're so much more patient than I. I would've either pitched a fit or pulled an Amie ['you betta don't!'] haha :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Duuuude. If I had been in the room, comments would have been made! I thought you were joking about crappy nurses... at least he's not hitting on you like dudeman did in richmond-o. Nice pic by the way... that's about how I felt this morning when dad said, "We can stop on the way to your work and get breakfast" which meant that I also had to leave earlier AND i had to deal with dad's driving! BAH!
Hey! Oy.... tell Mr. Magoo to lay off the crack! You are much more patient than I would have been! Ken and I (and Evelina) think of you often. Our love and prayers are with you. XOXOXO.
I literally laughed out loud when I read this...too funny. Good luck down there Marie!
Tell Mr. Magoo his nursing license has expired and he should go on and retire!!!
Love you
Beware of night nurses. Trust me, I know. My mother was one.

Ive been an Ambien user now for 6 years. And like a lot of other post I've read, I find it is much more effective when taken on an empty stomach. I too have had my crazy nightly side effects..Painting my toe nails, dying my hair, a box of cereal completely eaten, and an almost dead cell phone to where I had been on the phone half the night saying god knows what (and yes, all this in one night). I agree that if you take it correctly and on an empty stomach, you should lay down within the first 30 minutes, if not, you never know where you may end up. Ambien gives you almost an errie jolt of energy that you remember nothing about!
