BUSH DIARY MARCH 1999:
3-4: Woke up from a weird dream. I was at a huge reception and I had lost out kitty, Boja. I went to lost and found and the only thing that had been turned in was a stuffed toy kitty. The next thing was that Princess Diana had arrived with her purple dog, very plush. I eventually asked a small child to go peek under the furniture to see if Boja was hiding. Nope.
3-5; Got an excited call from a parent. They had gone to the court house to get a copy of the baby's birth certificate. Court house told them there was a computer problem, probably Y2K. Good grief. I called Juneau and they told me that they were working on the problem for the past month and should have the problem solved soon. So now I have to caution new parents that there may be a delay in getting a printed birth certificate.
3-7: Just got a call from AkHIMA that i have been nominated for Distinguished Member for 1999. This is what happens when you are editor of Northline for um seven years or so? Oh dear. I will have to come up with a warm and gracious speech (gracious! Isn't it warm!?).
3-9: Jinky and her entire family (16 of them!) had a very close call this morning. They were all brought in by ambulance about 8 am when the people in the other half of the duplex called S&R to complain of headaches, nausea and vomiting. The Fire Department went over and roused all the groggy people and found carbon monoxide at 90 parts per 100 an almost fatal dose. Everyone came in and got oxygen and blood draws and we kept a couple of them overnight for observation. BUECI and the Fire Dept went to the house to check out to see what went wrong. The flu froze shut and the gas went right back down into the house. It is a new house and is air tight. The people sleeping upstairs were the most effected. They told Jinky if the flu had blocked closer to midnight that they would have been dead by morning. They did have a Co monitor but no battery, that got fixed immediately. Jinky's Mom made three big pans of pansit and brought in next day as thanks to the hospital and EMT's. Jinky said they would be lighting some candles at St. Patricks.
3-13: I have a mild flu bug. Aches, pain in joints, temp, chills, headache, sore throat, congestion. Got Theraflu and it makes the symptoms go mild enough so I can sleep. Ugh.
Creepy incident: I was assembling chart and there was a hand written note included in the chart, it read in part "Marge Pendleton, I love you. I am with Patrick now." I rechecked the patient name and sure enough the patient was a former roomie of Patrick's. He had lived with three women for a while before moving in with some guys. The patient was found in bed hugging a bottle of pills. She was brought in to have her stomach lavaged and shipped off for a mental vacation. Ugh!! Snap out of it! This is NOT anything that Patrick would have wished on ANYONE!!!
March 21: Lazy day of emptying the garbage, doing laundry.
Mom had decided to ride home with Tim and I when we go visit in April.
March 30: Got a surprise visit from Randall Spencer our previous IS guy. He said he was up here to check on the RPMS system and Rick Ingersol got fired yesterday? Huh? How come? He was not firde for lack of computer experience but for when back ground checks were done one of the things they look for is sex offenders, of which he is one. Now all of us are filling out paper work for back ground checks. Mine will put vast numbers of investigators to sleep. Rest well.
Time to close up March 1999 such as it was. G'night folks.
