I guess I thought I had more to talk about than I really do. I still like my job but am having second thoughts about staying in this profession, but than other days I want to go back to school to try to be a nurse so IDK!? I guess I feel that way sometimes because I haven't been an m.a for very long, but I still feel I should know a lot of the things I don't. It's just irritating to me. I also get scared because if the big mistakes I make don't get caught I could cause the practice a lot of money or even worse I could kill someone. For example the other day I wrote a prescription for potassium as mg when it should have been mEq which is a significantly smaller dose, and that much potassium could have killed the Pt if it was (DAW)dispensed as written. It's scary how much life you have in your hands.
Nothing in relation to what I was just talking about but Dr's mom just died last night, she was (DX) diagnosed with failure to thrive a few days ago. He seems to be handling it all well, but I think that's because he is the only child and has a lot to take care of. He hasn't allowed himself the time to grieve yet. She was such a sweet old lady, I will miss her; she was one of our Pts so I knew her well, she even welcomed me into the family when I told her I was working there full time. Her boyfriend is in so much pain, I really feel for this family, they are all such neat people. Keep them in your prayers while they are grieving. Thank you. The really weird thing is that last night, early morning I jolted waking myself up, and said, O no Dr. Fowler, at that time I knew she was gone. When I got to work today the office manager confirmed it. Today was a really sad day.
Well anyway, I guess I just didn't think it would be that big of a deal to me when she passed. I guess I meant something to her?...
You know, this makes me think of how lucky my family and I really are to have the gospel in our lives and to know that we have the keys to be sealed so we really will be together when we die. That is soo comforting to me. I feel for the people who think they will be with their family but haven't been sealed. Can you imagine the shock? And then what if a family member of theirs did not want to except the truth after death, the family wouldn't be able to be with them. I am truly thankful I am aware of the truth and am doing what I can to keep our covenant.
Kenny is still looking for a job, filling out apps on line and in person. IDK why it is taking this long for him to find a job, he has never had a problem before. I guess it has to do with him cutting out the collection jobs?.. That cuts the opportunities in half almost, because we're inAZ the collection state.
I am so tired now, so I am going to sleep. I love you all soo much. Goodnight and good dreams.

Amber,
Good to hear from you, thanks for your nice comments.
I would have the same concerns about being in the medical field, pretty scary having someone's life in your hands. I know you can do it if it's really what you want, with a lot of studying & reviewing. Kudo's for making it this far!
So sorry to hear the loss of Dr. Fowler's mom & your co-worker. Sounds like she was a great lady. So true how comforting the gosple can bring at times like these, and thank goodness for temple work and agency.
Sending good luck and success in Kenny's job hunt. Hey, Utah is a great place to find a job right now :).
Love Ya,
Di
Thanks Di!!
Those mistakes can be scary and disheartening, kiddo but don't let them deter you if this is what you want to do. Just be MORE careful and double check everything. I know you can do it, you're a smart kid.
