Round 10 and frazzled nurses

The nurse handling my treatment this time started talking about…I don’t even remember the terms now. Some step she forgot to do, and how she could correct it. (She messed things up a couple times today, and other nurses corrected her. 🫣 Good thing they all work as a team.) But, anyway…med terms I’ve never heard.

“I don’t know what any of that means,” I said.
Then I realized that might sound rude, so I mentioned how my sister is in the medical field, and loves talking about all these things that go right over my head. 😅 Not meant as rude at all; I just don’t understand what’s being said.

I could just have sat here quietly like I usually do when a response isn’t completely necessary. I do when my sister is more talking at me instead of to me, but sometimes it’d be nice to know what in the world is going on.

Then, there are other times I have to remind my sister that I don’t want to hear about all these medical things, because some of it sounds gross. Then she gets sad that she can’t talk to anyone about this gross medical stuff that she’s so fascinated by. And that’s not fair to her, because when it’s gross stuff I need someone to explain to me, she’s usually the one I can ask.


Oh well. Fair or unfair, some things I don’t need or want to know.
