Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope that you all had and are having wonderful holidays. Thank you all very much for your warm holiday wishes via email, snail mail, phone, text, esp, etc. No sky-writing, though, I'm a little disappointed. :( Maybe next year.
Christmas was quiet in St. Thomas. Of course I had to work, and there were hardly any patients in the hospital. Our unit had 6 patients and 3 nurses. So, I got floated to the ICU where I could be of a little bit more help (stress on the little, there). One of these nights we had 6 patients, 3 nurses, 2 CNAs, and 1 unit secretary. The staff equalled the number of patients! Bizarre, but believe me I'm not complaining!! It's been nice to have some quiet nights.
It's been really difficult to remember that it was Christmas since it just isn't commercialized here like it is back home, and I'm not part of a network of people that are focused on the holiday, making plans, buying gifts, baking, etc. That's probably just what I needed this year, so I guess it has worked out well.
The only other happenings in USVI are that Margo and I went to St. John's the other day. I got some great pictures that I will post tonight.
Thanks everyone for continuing to check on me and I'm so glad to hear reports that you are enjoying the blog. Lots of love to you all. I miss you!
