Late Entry

So i was planning to blog about this last night but i never got around to it. So as u know i work at a local "retirement Home" as part of the Nursing Staff. Any way last night, a lady was sitting in a chair in the parlor very aggitated, pulling at her TED stockings. I go over to see what the problem was and i notie two LARGE wrinkles in them, which of course is SOOOOO bad. For those of u unfamiliar with TEDs, they are a stocking with HIGH ammounts of elasticity in them, and if not put on correctly, with no wrinkles, the person wearing them will end up with painfull ridges in their skin. Well this poor woman had deep deep lines in her legs, and they were soo very painfull. I was frustreted to say the least! The worst part of it all was that the last person to put the stockings on was the foot care nurse. FOOT CARE!!!!! Frig!!! I get so frustrated, because it is avoidable pain. There was no need for this too happen. The other girls who i work with were also pretty upset. We really do care about the ppl in our care and get pretty upset when outside agencey staff dont. Well thats my ramble for the night.
