Sweet patients!

WOw...I got up an hour ago after my post-night sift morning snooze. It's carzy outside, snowstorm after warm days. I have one more night to go.
This night shift was actually pretty good. My one room with 4 gentlemen whom I had 2 days. They're all so cute and all were seeking my attention. Once I come in in the room, everybody needs something :), but most of the time it was to talk. They are all nice guys with different problems, but with so much appreciation for the care I was providing for them. That's a great reward of bedside nursing. Patients appreciate your hard work. One of those guys came in because he had fainted 4 times in one day at home and doctors were thinking he has a heart block, maybe even mechanical like a tumor. Echo results were good, Angio showed healthy arteries; so nobody knows the cause. Anyway, he is very chatty and everytime I come in, he'd tell me stories. The other day I had a complex admission in the same room, so I was just running all day. He saw me running in and out of the room all day long. So he'd tell me "We keep u busy here in this room". At the end of the day he was so sweet; he told me, "You need a glass of wine or two and if your husband will mind tell him to come and see me". Today he's going home and before I left he said,"He'll drink a glass of wine for me at home". It was sooo sweet!!!
