First Day Back

Yesterday was my first day back to work. I was little shaky at first, but it got better. I was so happy to see Victoria and Jenn! We took patients until 12, then we took lunch and began moving into our new clinic and lab on the first floor. It is beautiful! And we are so proud of it! Everything is new and state of the art. The new lab has 5 port stations for me to sit patients and access their ports, there is one phlebotomy chair for Victoria, a stretcher area in case anyone needs to lay down, and an empty space for wheelchair patients.....it's huge compared to what we have been working with! Victoria and I worked hard all afternoon trying to get our supplies and everything moved and put where we wanted it. It still isn't done. I thought about going in for a few hours today and finishing it, but I think I'll stay home today and just go in early Monday to work on it. I was so tired when I got home yesterday, but it felt good to get back in my routine. I was hurting quite a bit too, but I think it's because of all the talking, smiling, and laughing I did! My patients are so good for me....I think I need them as much as they need me!
