Things are worse in the hospital. Was there until 1:30, calling in and going back today I think. Nurses are wonderful, good god the work they do for the pay they get.

In other news, Some advice on how to stop complaining. Yoinked from cyaneyed. It's a tad on the hokey side, but different things work for different people. This is not that different than what I do/did and advice I give.

My advice is a little different, more of a grab the bull by the horns and use logic to shout it down approach. Still, I often say don't do X or do-do Y, but don't often say how. Here is someone saying how.

First of all, I'm not sure exactly why "complaining" is such a bad thing. Sometimes you have to get something off your chest. The idea that one can "take responsibility" for everything in one's life is not only bullshit, it's a path to madness. There is FAR more in one's like over which one had NO control than over which one had any. Sometimes complaining is the only way to work through the emotions, since there is no positive action to be taken.

Second, do you have my number? If you need to talk (or complain) about your dad situation, well, it's something I've been through. I can't claim to have anything useful to say, but I can at least confirm that you aren't nuts for feeling what you are feeling, and that's sometimes helpful.

And yes, nurses should be paid more than doctors, as far as I'm concerned.

I didn't bother to read the site, but I do know that sometimes complaining helps us deal with our emotions. Friends are there to help with things even if it does involve listing to someone complain. I do like the positive attitude you are taking in a really painful situation. I sure hope your dad gets better. I've found that nurses are a lot better than doctors. I trust them a whole lot more.
