A few explanations

Hello all! First off, the police officer was driving by In Cahoots while we were waiting in the parking lot for the cab to show up, we had called the cab company twice with no luck of a yellow car heading our way. The parking lot was quickly becoming bare so we flagged the cop down to explain we were stranded. He said he would take us home. Of course we had a few laughs while in the back seat of the cop car-if our parents could see us now! Thank goodness it was voluntary!
Second, I'm posting pictures from labor and delivery. Our scrubs, though comfortable, blend in with the walls. The light I'm pointing with in one picture is a wand that you point to the lights in the ceiling then drag to wherever the provider wants the light-it's crazy. Each room has two doors, one to enter and one for the visitors to open so they can see the baby under the warmer while mom is being cleaned up, stitched up, etc. A curtain is drawn so the baby nurse can take care of the baby, the visitors can see the baby all while mom is behind curtain #1. There are pictures of the break room, notice the two couches and tv, the break room in the nurses station-notice there was no food on the table this one particular night-that never happens! Keely is so graciously showing you the restroom in the patient rooms. Two of the housekeepers had us try this Mexican concoction called Cebiche. It looked odd but tasted good! It's either shrimp, clam, any kind of fish, onion, tomato, cucumer, cilantro, chile, lime juice, hot sauce and served on a tostada. Try it Mikey, you might like it :o) Ask questions if I forgot anything else.
Oh, the nurses with us are Gee, pronounced G, me, Bobbi Sue from Cananda, the scrub tech, Susie and Keely. I was sent over to the pre term floor where I didn't have a patient but the charge nurse named SYBIL had me take vital signs and answer the call light-I'm the highest paid tech in California!!! Then I took a picture with one of our fellow nurses, Judith.
Balboa Park is where we walked yesterday. There are flowers everywhere! The lady statue is of Kate Sessions. She brought one of every species of tree to this area years and years ago which is why there are so many different types of trees. It's awesome! Ill tab the rest of the pictures as Keely and are are headed to the Point Loma tide pools. It's overcast but we'll make it work!
