I moved away from bedside. And for the same reason (nurse back)

I had my first OTJ injury in Nov of last year. a 600lb dude who couldnt be bothered to help turn himself. 2 bulging discs and 2 rounds of PRP injections later- I am starting a new PT gig as a home infusion nurse. I am still staying PT in the ICU because I crave the chaos there...but I get it- totally.

I realized I was having a mid life crisis. Lol. At least my crisis didn’t involve buying a corvette and leaving my wife for a younger woman.

I'm glad you kept your senses about ya!

I get migraines really easily so I am careful with how much and what I drink- and hang overs are just too much at my age

I now play guitar

In 2009, I bought a Fender Strat and began lessons, but then in March of 2010, we had a helicopter crash that killed 3 of my friends/coworkers and I've not picked up my guitar since then. In fact, I gave the damn thing to my nephew.

My retirement goal is a small home on a beach, a beach chair and a book.
