BUSH DIARY NOVEMBER 1995:
11-2: Tim got back today on the morning jet. He brought back a Kuspuk pattern, the pattern makes a cloth version of the parka and is used as a blousy dress with a pocket in front. I will start hunting for fun fabric.
Renovation at the hospital is pretty messy but we can see where the offices will go. The new counter is 20 feet deep, plenty of room for folks to work out front.
Interesting development: Carolyn called me to her office to produce some alcohol statistics for a "48 Hours" producer. They didn't film in the hospital but did ride with the PSO and took lights when lights flashed. Coincidentally there was a lot more action in ER. A man was stabbed to death in Atqasuk, alcohol related.
Hospital business: We have certainly been busy. We have been hit with a nasty virus. We have four pediatric cases admitted all with Respiratory Syncitial Virus. Lots of hacking and coughing in OPD and waiting room. There have been two medevac's each day three days running. We even had to have Life Flight come up from Anchorage to help out with all the cases including one kid with a hot appendix.
11-7: Mammogram accomplished. Have to reschedule in six months for a small smooth nodule that needs to be monitored. Crapola.
Holiday: 11-10 for Veterans Day, will get three days off but well all the work will still manage to wait patiently for moi.
Good news: Patrick Pendleton called from Cleveland. His aneurysm has been declared stable so he will be back to work on the 13th. Yay!!!
11-14: Getting caught up again. Finally got all twenty discharged charts assembled, analyzed, coded and entered into the computer. Win, win.
Dream: Intricate moving and decorating dream. Brain is obviously rearranging stuff up there. Erk.
Kitty health: Bradford confined to bathroom for some serious hairball action and other GI distress. He improved after a couple of days.
Government shutdown: Memo told employees away from the station on business to return immediately until the budget is resolved. Thank you President Clinton.
We had to fix a billing error. For some reason every time someone came in to have stitches removed the visit incurred a certain ICD9 code that automatically generated a bill for 1500 bucks. What!?! I have no way to fix it on this end, it is all area. It is a bit of program to which I have no access.
Thanksgiving coming up: Shopping today to get all the goodies. My favorite part is left overs. Four days off in a row. Monday will be heckish.
Last sunset of the year was on 11-18-95.
11-22: Blissfully short week for Thanksgiving. I made two pumpkin pies, will cook a very small turkey only eight pounds, made cranberry orange jello relish. We ate until torpid and missed all the parades and football games. Ah naps are good as well.
11-28: Tim's birthday, we celebrated with turkey pot pie, carrot cake and glasses of milk. It got him "Batman Forever". We are also enjoying the first blizzard of the year. Wind 60 mph with chill factor to 60 below.
11-30: A count the angels contest in the department I took a book of angel mobiles and hung seven mobiles throughout the department and challenged everyone to count how many angels were on the mobiles.
11-30: Gawd we have a virus on the computer system!!! It is called Monkey virus. Network guys will come in tomorrow to fix it. I got the disc and cleaned my PC and so it went. Had a couple instances of a couple PC's getting reinfected. Need more Monkey disc here!
That is all for November, I double checked, November fer sure. G'night folks.
