This fire has really affected so many people. It's so devastating for so many; from those who lost their homes, to those who lost their lives, to those who were forced out of their homes and are now living in hotels and naval bases. Even I'm affected through my work. So many people who were driven out of their homes were coming in to get the med's they were suppose to pick up back at their own pharmacy. Some were easy to transfer over, but some were difficult since that pharmacy was burnt down. Sigh....I hope the rain comes to aid the firefighters.

so, i started my new life as a Rite Aid pharmacist. It was a very big step and a very big decision to make, but I'm happy about it. it's a great opportunity, great money, and even greater co-worker. how wonderful is that? the store is ridiculously busy for such a small community, but that keeps me busy all day too so i guess that's ok.
now, i feel like i'm all grown up and my life is finally starting.

there is a fine line between "obeying your parents" and "making adult decisions for yourself." it's like the tip of a pyramid and i'm standing on each side trying desperately not to slip and fall.

Savage Garden - Crash and Burn |
] |
ok. so i got into an accident this past thursday. i was going to work. my exit was coming up so i merged over. so far business as usual. i was nearing the off ramp when suddenly this white van decided that was his exit. he cut in front of me so fast i started to brake hard. i tried to create some friction but i could see that i was about to hit the van. i looked over to my left and there was a car. no escape there. i looked over to my right and there was a small space on the side so i started sliding over, hoping to avoid the car next to me and the van. i was still trying to create friction so the car would stop, but then i felt my tires losing control under me. the next thing i knew, i hit the metal railing. *crash* *crunch* all this happened so fast, yet everything seemed to move in slow mo. strange how that is...the van drove off, leaving me stuck on the railing. somehow, i got my car out and started driving. *squeek* something was scraping against my tires. i was so shaken and upset. i didn't even noticed that i had bruised my arm. all in all, i'm glad the car isn't too damaged (still drivable, but poor Sparky needs some patching up) and that i wasn't too hurt. almost wished i had hit the front car so i could at least file an accident or something but oh well...

life...relationships...duties as sister, daughter, friend...
why do things have to be so complicated and so difficult? you'd think as long as you keep everyone happy, things would be ok. you'd think as long as everyone else is happy you would be too.
when can a person be selfish and do what makes them happy? what is it that makes me happy?
i see people around me finding their "one" and planning marriages. it seems so simple to them. i had an unsettling thought last night that i would live the rest of my life alone. i really hope that won't happen.
went to see my dad today. as silly as it sounds, i went there hoping to "talk" with my dad and have a good cry if i needed it. unfortunately there were a lot of people around today. still, i spent some time there thinking about things...missing my dad...having a good cry...did i come home with any answers? not really. but i think i needed this time alone

second week at Kaiser. it's so busy there, but i guess that's better than standing around and being bored. did some chemotherapy compounding. that was scary but exciting. attended some renal patient care rounds. since they have so many patients, they breeze through each case. and since i don't know anything about their medication profile, it's kinda boring sitting there listening to them ramble through cases. hoping to change that soon... want to do more pediatrics and compounding. i hope i get the chance. btw, happy april fool's day.

| full cardiac arrest |
[09 Mar 2003|10:10pm] |
i worked today and went to a full cardiac arrest code. it's not like this was my first code. since i started my internship, i've had to attend my share of code blues. but this time it was different. this was the first code that i attended and assisted, where the patient didn't make it.
as they continued to administer CPR, my heart kept racing. "come on heart," i thought "beat, dang it. give us a beat..." but the EKG showed no sign of a beat. then i overheard a doctor saying that she had been unconscious too long. "epi!" nurse shouted. trembling i tried to quickly assemble the epinephrine syringe. i knew in the back of my mind that she probably wouldn't make it, yet i kept hoping.
"atropine!" quickly i assembled the syringe for the nurse. "stop CPR. check for rhythm" "start CPR again" why wasn't she waking up?
as i kept watching, they brought her husband into the room. when he saw his wife on the table, he ran over, held her hand, and started to cry. at that point, it took a great deal of strength for me to hold back my tears. it was horrible watching this man crying, stroking her hand, and asking her to wake up. "doctor," the nurse reported. "we used 3 epi's, 2 atropines, thiamine, and solurex" the doctor turned to the husband and told him "its up to God now"
"stop CPR, check for rhythm" we watched the line that the EKG machine was printing out. "oh God!" i heard the husband cry out. then i heard the most aweful words. "we lost her."
as we cleaned up and walked back to the pharmacy, i was still shaking. this experience has left a deep mark that i won't forget.
