Ive had the worst day in the world today. I am an emergency department nurse and had to run the department today with 50 less beds than we had admissions, ambulances queuing outside the door, sick patients in corridors and bloody helicopters landing. I had 10 minutes break in 12 hours and have ordered pizza. Ive still logged it and will just accept the effect it may have. Fitbit has gifted me with 1000 calories for today so I should stay under maintenance anyway but I cant lift my right arm, my ankles have seized up and both kidneys hurt.

Sometimes heatlhy doesnt cut it

    Love the attitude. You are having it, owning it and moving on with it. Great job in my opinion.

    Maori,

    I'm so sorry to hear of your struggles yesterday. I hate that I can't access the forums from my phone, because my actual computer access on weekends is very limited! I wish I'd been able to send good thoughts to you.

    I've never been a nurse who was running constantly, but I have worked in the food industry and as a security guard/bouncer for 12 hours straight without so much as a break. Even though I don't pee much when I run that crazy, I still try to maintain water or gatorade (electrolyte drink) consumption. If I know it is coming up, I will even wear a maxi-pad for unforeseen leaks in case I can't run past a bathroom...

    I hope you are feeling better today and recovering! (hugs)

    P.S. Please remember that if you get bad enough to have to be treated at the ER, you're of no help to anyone... Take a breather, even if someone has to wait 15 extra seconds!! (hugs)

    Cheers hon

    Im ok today though my shoulders still bad but its been dodgy on and off for years. Works always stressful but yesterday was just epic and as a senior nurse I kinda caught the brunt of it. Ive not worked out today so should be on form again tomorrow. Was more just pointing out after a day like that salad simply wasnt going to cut it lmao

    Thanks Carrie. Trying to be more accountable though tbh I cant wait to get back on track tomorrow it just makes me feel logie and fat eating rubbish now
