this n that

Boyfriends biopsy results are all normal. It was a huge relief hearing the good news. I want him to stick around in this world for many more years. The whole ordeal made me realize what an important part of my life he is........he's my best friend......and I love him.

I went to the doctor last Friday.
My initial hiv test was negative...............and my hepatitis vaccine is still working..........I'll be retested in 6 weeks..... in 3 months....and 6 months. The blood "donor" tested negative for hepatitis.....positive for hiv/aids.
I'm tolerating the antiviral drug ok. It makes me tired........and like I'm coming down with a whopper of a cold (unless I really am getting a cold).......but I won't complain too much because having the medicine makes me feel like I have a little bit of control over the whole situation....

WOrk is crazy busy. Our census has tripled in the last 4 weeks. Some of the time it feels like one great big cluster fuck of a mess........but we'll pull it all together in time.....hopefully before our annual inspection.
I've been back on the floor for a couple of weeks........but I'm also still doing paper work part of the time. My DON tells me eventually it will become a full time permanent position..........she has an okay from the owners 2nd hand man but she needs to convince the administrator. We'll see.
The nurse from our new owners old facility, the one I thought they had hired to replace me, has become a pretty good work friend. She's a really nice person. Funny how things work out.

The nurse that caused my blood exposure has been hiding from me. As soon as she sees me coming she runs into a room, closet, or cubby hole to hide. The afternoon of the stick when I called my DON I was kind of emotional............and when I told my DON what had happened I also told her I wanted to knock BAD NURSES fucking head off.
I think DON told BAD NURSE what I said.
BAD NURSE was disciplined. DON wanted to fire her.....but for whatever reason the facility attorney said they couldn't.
