Hey Mary S. and other RNs.

This is the first time I have posted in the RN section. Mary, I went and read your profile and was thrilled to see you are a Harley-babe too! I ride my husband's Sportster every chance I get. You are a better girl than me, I have not gotten my endorsement yet. Better get going on that one of these days. I am currently in the process of starting a new job. I am going to work for an agency where at least I get paid better for all the crap us nurses have to put up with. My last job was at an outpatient cancer center where they let me go after my performance dropped because of health issues I developed from stress on the job. (Insomnia, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, depression, etc.) Even thought I had repeatedly asked to cut my hours and was refused because "We are too short on staff". Well, they used me up and spit me out when they couldn't get anymore out of me. I am pretty jaded about the nursing profession right now can you tell. Well, I have my first appointment with my surgeon on Thursday, and I am pretty amped up about it. I can't wait to get the ball rolling on this. I'm ready to be lean and mean again!!! Hugs to you all!! Sherri

I am a very bad girl! I cannot believe I haven't been to this board since the end of March. And I was the one trying to get everyone involved. BAD ME! I think I was just getting so frustrated with my PCP I sort of stopped posting for a while. I still post a bit on the Michigan board, but not nearly as much as I used too. I will post what's going on with me next. Yeah, I am a Harley babe. Don't have my own yet, but some day! It's always about $$$ or lack thereof!

Well, thanks for answering. Better late than never! LOL! How are you doing? I was just reading the post you answered, and boy, it has been a while. I didn't even realize how time has flown. I had my consult with my surgeon, got the insurance approval, tests done, blah, blah, blah, my surgery date is June 21! I am so excited and nervous! Talk to ya later, Sherri
