Hang in there girl....and I thought I was the only one that has cried (and I mean CRIED out loud), at work!!! My first day on my new job, I was overwhelmed, hadn't brought the right meds, and I broke down when the pain got so bad. In a pts. room no less, and she gave me the best pep talk ever!! I had to take my 2nd day of work off b/c the pain was a 9/10 the next day. I had followed the med nurse and the pain from the bending was so bad, but with no stools and nighttime procedures, I had to keep bending in pain then. I think you are very determined person and I admire that. (((((((hugs)))))))))) (gentle ones!!) Peace!!!
