Success Stories—Reliving The Past Helps We Build The FutureUncategorized May 14th, 2014
Success Stories—Reliving The Past Helps We Build The Future
One of the exercises which I have numerous customers do is list out all successes they've had inside lifetime. I ask those to commence with early childhood plus list everything they could remember being lucrative at. One of my customers lately gave the assignment to his girlfriend. She asked me afterwards what the point was. She hadn't found it rather beneficial.
What I told her is the fact that which I've found which this exercise serves 2 significant services. First, it's a self respect booster. Many persons don't understand how several successes they've had inside their lives till they write them down. Many express surprise plus occasionally certain modesty whenever sharing their successes. I'd suggest this exercise merely for this boost alone, however, the next cause for carrying this out is more useful. Success leaves clues behind.
When I ask a customer to list their successes, it's commonly considering they are stuck inside certain location of their company. They've tried many techniques to receive unstuck plus nothing has worked. Whenever you take a few of their main successes plus analyze them, you find patterns. I ask them how they accomplished main jobs. What methodology did they utilize?
What you usually find is the fact that they have a all-natural achievement design. For several persons this might be setting a objective plus creating a detailed program to satisfy which objective. For others it's simply leaping in plus doing any it takes to create it function. Others would merely go with all the flow plus do what appears effortless or exciting. One customer set a little objective plus met it. Next he set high plus high objectives meeting every 1 before he moved about to the upcoming. It ended with 4 straight planet championships.
So in the event you are acquiring oneself stuck inside striving to accomplish a task inside the company, stop today plus list out the successes. Start from being born—it's not simple to receive out and begin breathing. Move by a whole lifetime plus write down each achievement you are able to remember. We could have factors like starring inside a school play, completing a century about the bike, getting an A inside a difficult topic. Ensure we cover graduations, university levels, advanced trainings. Don't limit it to only function connected or school connected successes. Be sure we include the factors we many enjoyed succeeding at.
Once we have the list, go from plus choose 2 or 3 main ones plus analyze them. What did we do to succeed? How did we feel? Were we scared beforehand? If you were, how did we deal with or reduce the worry? Did we a great deal of planning? Did we jump right inside? Were we alone or did we have aid? Find the factors we succeeded.
Now search for a pattern. I did this newly considering I was truly trying to receive my company going strongly. The exercise revealed which several of my successes came whenever I had a structured environment with a great deal of creative escapades. I realized which I required more structure inside my company. I had a lot of creative time. So I found a friend which I will do weekly check-ins with which holds me accountable for my actions. Every week I share with him my objectives or homework for the upcoming week. Next whenever you meet I share how perfectly I met the objective. This really is creating a big difference inside the achievement of my company. Try mapping a past successes plus observe because it makes a big difference inside your achievement.

Not all women want to climb the corporate ladder
BY BETSY HART www.betsysblog.com May 16, 2012 12:56PM
Updated: June 17, 2012 8:04AM
Are these attempts at social engineering ever going to end?
Apparently not when it comes to women and the workforce.
To review: Women now make up the majority of recipients of undergraduate, graduate and even doctoral degrees awarded in the United States each year. On average, young college-educated women in most major cities out-earn their male peers.
Still, the Wall Street Journal convened a conference recently on Women in the Economy. "Unlocking the full potential of women at work" was the title of a paper commissioned by the Journal for the conference. Produced by Joanna Barsh and Lareina Yee of the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, it's well-researched — and fascinating. But probably not for reasons Barsh and Yee want it to be.
Sure, it had some interesting findings, including that women don't typically ask to be promoted into "stretch" roles like male peers do, nor are they as likely to seek mentors at work.
Note to my daughters: Be prepared to step it up in these areas if corporate success is what you want.
But, are women allowed to want what they want?
The authors note that while there is still a gender disparity in corporate America at the highest levels, the vast majority of the companies they researched seek to advance women, even into those highest levels. So, for the most part, the authors weren't beating up on American business.
However, they were busy subtly beating up on women. For instance, most male and female midlevel employees, they found, desire to get to the next level in their organization. But 36 percent of men and only 18 percent of women answered yes to the question, "If anything were possible, I would choose to advance to C-level (CEO, CFO, etc.) management."
Uh-oh. Wrong answer for the gals.
The authors found that in spite of an investment in women at many firms, frequently "women opted for staff roles, quit, retired or even settled in. Hard-won advances to the executive committee were often followed by departures." Note some key information: Firms are investing in women and trying to get them to go higher and further. Still, women often freely choose to say "no, thanks," sometimes after they've gotten to the top itself. And that's a problem, say these authors.
But a problem for whom?
Barsh and Yee reiterated what they found in a previous report, that there are four main "stubborn barriers" to women's advancement. So, for instance, a woman's choice to forgo pursuing the brass ring so she can spend more time on her family, is now a barrier to be overcome.
A second is structural. The authors say that sometimes a CEO's commitment to women was not borne out by the number of women advanced at the firm. But what if that's the choice of the women, and not the CEO? The third and fourth barriers are individual and institutional mindsets: "Used to successful executives being — and acting like — men, leaders inadvertently hold women to the same standards of behavior."
Ahh, now we're talking. We agree that men and women are different.
What the elites don't like is how these differences often play out.
Look, many women simply choose to slow down their work life in favor of their families. Ironically, when a man does the same, the elite culture praises him. Women, well, that has to be fixed.
The conclusion said it all: The authors note that helping talented women develop and advance helps companies, and no doubt women, too. "But," they write, "too many women don't want to reach the top. Many love what they do and believe they are making a difference where they are."
To certain folks, this is a problem to be solved, not a cause for celebration. So then, we do know one thing for sure: When it comes to gender differences, there will always be jobs for the social engineers.

Got the first box today and have to say that the samples in there were very generous and the packaging is so pretty! Have purchased BellaBox before, but it had far fewer samples and less known brands. So i am very happy to try all these samples out!

I'm not going to write a game recap of last night's train wreck. We all watched it and know the play-by-plays. The main thing that jumped out to me was our obvious decline after Braxton Miller went down with what appeared to be a mild ankle sprain/twist. For a university that always brags about reloading, never rebuilding, we certainly showed that without our number one guy, we were nothing. Not only that, but Joe Bauserman has shown that he has no ability to hit a pass over 15 yards. This is not due to a lack of arm strength, but because he has the vision and touch of Sloth from Goonies. His passes this year have ended up on the opposing bench, first row of the bleachers, and one last night nearly hit a cheerleader. I'm no math wiz, but if #1 is hurt and #2 is in way over his head in Big Ten football, then it would seem like #3 (a mobile, talented athlete) should possibly leap frog Old Man River and be our solid backup this year and next. There have been, and will be, many hurtful things said about Joe Bauserman, which I will not continue…at least starting now. He is a good person, a smart
kid grown man, and someone that could finish his senior year by mentoring the younger guys…just not someone who can lead the offense on the field.
This brings us to our current #3 on the roster, the real Kenny G, Ken Guiton. Kenny is a third year sophomore from Houston, Texas who measures up at 6'2″ and 195 lbs. He has clearly bulked up since his freshman year, in which you could not have convinced me that he weighed over 150 lbs soaking wet. Guiton was a three star recruit coming out of high school and is listed as a dual threat quarterback. His ability to bring the ball down and run is there, but he is comfortable staying in the pocket and making the plays through the air as well. Unlike JB, who tends to fold and flop into the defensive line after his first read fails, Kenny G looks like a natural running a spread offense, making his reads, and pulling the ball to take off through the defense. This clip below shows Ken's first TD as a Buckeye, against Eastern Michigan, where he was able to make the correct read and get into the endzone for six. One other thing that you'll notice is his swagger. The coaches have reported a few times that when he runs the scout team in preparation for the first team defense's challenge on Saturdays, he is not afraid to talk to them and let them know when he's won the battle. Swagger and confidence is something that is definitely lacking in our current backup QB. I'm not saying that Kenny G should pass up Braxton Miller on the depth chart, as he proved last night that he is a phenomenal freshman talent, but at least give him a CHANCE now to step in when/if Miller needs a break.
Find me on Twitter @AJBorland and let me know your thoughts on @tharealkennyg becoming OSU's #2 guy…

This pic of Kevin Yee is from the Deal With it section I put out last month. This was a pretty damn long wall rail so he really had to charge at it. It was nuts too because the BART attendant came over and didn't even kick us out. He just said "don't hit anyone". It's super grainy because I thought there was no way I would have time to set up a flash before getting kicked out. But looking back I should have because dude was so cool about it. Grain or no grain I'm hyped on it.
Amanda bought Jake some new Xsjados for Christmas and he is like a crazy little kid with a new toy. Oh wait that's how Jake is 24/7. Either way here he is boosting a sweet wall ride in his new Stockwells.

In a nutshell, Josie is fabulous. I could not have asked for a sweeter, more organized, professional, and creative planner to work with. Her incredible attention to detail, quick thinking, and fun/friendly personality all played a part in making our wedding day such a wonderful event.
I hired Josie about 7 months before my wedding and although I already had a few vendors booked on my own, she helped me finalize the final few (who were awesome!) and worked so well with everyone I had previously hired. Throughout the wedding process and day-of, I felt completely confident in Josie and felt remarkably calm about everything. Guests have told us how elegant, organized, and flawless the wedding ceremony and reception were, and I contribute a lot of that to Josie and her team.
I would highly recommend Josie to any bride - it will be the best wedding investment you make! Our special day was better than I could have imagined it. Thanks, Tie the Knot!

I was a budget, DIY bride and hired Josie for our Day of Coordinator after meeting her at my cousin's wedding, which she also was a DOC. She was a big help along the road during our planning process, met with us a few times to take notes on our thoughts and vision for the wedding, and she followed through on all our little details for the day. Once Josie arrived on the wedding day she took the reigns and helped keep me calm, iron out the kinks, and kept the day running smoothly (even after unforeseen events like a bird pooping on me right outside the church before I entered). Josie is very professional, punctual, organized, sweet, and a joy to work with. Her assistants are also great and friendly. I definitely recommend Tie the Knot to other brides! We have been receiving many verbal and written praises from family and friends complimenting us on how well organized our wedding was and Josie was definitely a big part of keeping the day going smoothly and making sure our guests had a great time. You gotta book her today!!!!

Josie provided an amazing service considering that my husband and I were not in the U.S. until about a week before the wedding. My husband and I are both in the military and stationed overseas. For most of the year of planning we were both deployed and she did an amazing job at staying in contact, organizing the vendors, and ensuring that everything was perfect for our wedding day. I was really excited and nervous about how things were going to turn out and my husband and I could not have been any happier. I called Josie when we arrived in San Antonio and asked her what we needed to do and she told me to that all we needed to do was to relax and have fun. Josie had everything under control. She is very friendly and so easy to talk to. Her help was invaluable and we could not have done it with out her. We love you Josie!!

Josie and her team were excellent. My husband and I could not be happier with the work she did. Josie was always available to answer all of my questions. She was very honest and kept us within our budget. She has a great relationship with other vendors and was able to recommend those that would meet our needs. She worked great under pressure. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding but of course the weather did not cooperate. I was a little disappointed but when we walked into the ballroom I was amazed with what she did. I was actually happy that we ended up with an indoor wedding. She kept everything on track. I was relieved that I did not have to stress or think about what the minor things. My husband and I had a great time at our wedding. We did not have to worry about anything. We knew that if something went wrong that Josie would be able to take of it. I could not thank her enough for making our wedding day special.

I was having nightmares of planning a wedding in Fredericksburg, Texas from Virginia Beach, Virginia. We were only able to come down to Texas once before the big day. Josie Sokoloff and her team from Tie The Knot made the planning so easy and ENJOYABLE. Josie has a wonderful personality and is fun to work with. Furthermore, she saved us thousands of dollars using her connections and vendors. When things came up last minute of things we needed she was able to get it. Her ideas were wonderful but if it wasn't something I wanted she was flexible or modified the idea to be more "me." She has done many large weddings, or small ones like mine!
I highly recommend Josie to anyone having a wedding in the Hill Country area. She is professional and caring, fun and affable. She got everything done exactly as I wanted it. Everyone complimented our venue and decorations, the food and late night snacks. It was wonderful.

Josie Sokoloff, propieter of Tie The Knot, was the backbone to my wedding coming together. The day that I met her, she instantly saw my vision and put it into motion of making it happen.
I valued her opinions, her suggestions and she never made it "her" wedding. She tweaked my ideas and selflessly added her own touches to complete my special day. As well, I was relatively stress free in planning a wedding in Texas from NJ. She made herself availlable to me whenever I needed her.
My husband has consistently said she was the best investment that we made for our day, and I wholeheartedly agree with him.
Thank you Josie, I truly fell in love with you!

Josie is AMAZING! One important thing that I would like to say is that Josie LOVES her job. She goes above, beyond, and all the way to the moon to make your day special. Her vendors are fantastic! If budget is a concern of yours, call Josie as soon as you get engaged. She can get you really good deals and make your wedding seem like you spent a million bucks. Unlike other wedding planners, Josie works with her vendors every weekend and they colaborate to make your day an absolute vision. Her price is such an excellent deal for everything she provides. I was a total DIY bride and Josie worked with all of my crazy creative ideas. She will always answer or immediately return any call/text/or email that you send her. Josie is EXTREMELY reliable and trustworthy. Our wedding ran so smoothly and I have had nothing but compliments about our special day. Do yourself a favor and call Josie RIGHT NOW!

Another mixed martial arts alternative has ceased operations.
Fewer than two years after it was purchased by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Strikeforce is no more.
For MMA fans, the move was about as surprising as Cody McKenzie using a guillotine to try and finish a fight.
It was inevitable as soon as UFC president Dana White acquired one of its chief rivals back in March of 2011.
Strikeforce was officially ushered out in style last weekend with Tarec Saffiedine pulling off an upset decision victory against Nate Marquardt to win the welterweight belt. But it was short stay on top for the Belgian. Saffiedine and more than a dozen former Strikeforce fighters are now headed to the UFC.
The UFC Tonight released a list of names making the jump. MMA fans will want to take note of the sextet below. Most of them will be showcased in pay-per-view fights in the coming months.
Daniel Cormier, HW (11-0): The time is now for the former American Olympic wrestler. At 33, Cormier is in the prime of his career and time isn't on his side. He's yet to lose inside the cage and carries wins over Antonio Silva and Josh Barnett, among others. Several credible MMA rankings have Cormier listed among the top ten heavyweights in the world. The UFC has wasted little time cashing in on his popularity and already have him booked to fight Frank Mir (16-6) at UFC on Fox 7 Apr. 20.
Gegard Mousasi, LHW (33-3-2): The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion is undefeated in his past six tilts and holds wins over veterans Denis Kang and Hector Lombard. Lately, the competition hasn't been that fierce. Still, at 27, it's hard to ignore his hefty experience. The Iranian is considered by many to be top ten in the division. He submitted Mike Kyle in the first round of the last Strikeforce card, so he should be ready to make his UFC debut in a few months.
Luke Rockhold, MW (10-1): He's a top five middleweight who is already calling out UFC fighter Constantinos Philippou, a veteran fighter who is riding a five-fight win streak. The 28-year-old is the former Strikeforce middleweight champ and successfully defended his title twice against Tim Kennedy and Keith Jardine. Injuries have plagued Rockhold throughout his career but when healthy, he can win fights on his feet or on the ground.
Gilbert Melendez, LW (21-2): Some fight fans have criticized the UFC for immediately handing Melendez a title fight with lightweight champ Benson Henderson, also set for UFC on Fox 7 in April. But "El Niño's" numbers are solid. He's defended his Strikeforce strap four times and hasn't lost since 2008. He trains with the UFC staples Jake Shields and the Diaz brothers (Nick and Nate). The only knock against Melendez is that he has been out of action for eight months with a couple of injuries.
Roger Gracie, MW (6-1) and Ryan Couture LW (6-1): These two fighters aren't in title contention right now but are intriguing because of their lineage. Gracie belongs to the legendary Gracie clan that is credited for inventing Brazilian jiu-jitsu while Couture is the son of UFC Hall-of-Famer Randy Couture.
Other UFC-bound fighters include light heavyweight Gian Villante, middleweights Lorenz Larkin, Tim Kennedy and Ronaldo Souza, welterweights Marquardt, Saffiedine, Roger Bowling, Jason High, and Bobby Voelker and lightweights Pat Healy, Kurt Holobaugh, Adriano Martins, K.J. Noons and Josh Thomson.
JABS: Victoria's Aggression Fighting Championship has announced the signing of Michael Hill (4-0). The Kelowna welterweight recently appeared on The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson where he lost in the quarter-finals. … Anderson Silva has the most consecutive UFC wins among active fighters with 16. Georges St-Pierre is second at 10 and Jon Jones has eight. Fourth place is a bit surprising with Ben Henderson tied with Alex Gustafsson at six.

Your First Experience of Hospital
Ok, as discussed with Lynn in Lisa's thread, it occurred to me that a lot of people who come on this site (like me, when I first joined!) have never had any major surgery and go into the whole experience without knowing some of the things that can prove most helpful.
The "what to take to hospital" list is amazingly useful, but I thought if we could back it up with some of our knowledge it might help some people?
I'm thinking about things (both important and tiny little tricks) that I didn't know when I went in, like -
1) you can ask to see the pain specialist/team if you're really struggling with either pain or the effects of the meds they have you on, and you'll then be under the care of pain nurses as well which can really help.
2) if you are in the night before your surgery you can ask for a sleeping tablet to help you sleep if you're nervous, and
3) you can ask for a "premed" for before you go down to surgery if you're really scared and think you'll panic!
4) if the morphine etc is making you feel sick all the time you can ask for antinausea meds so you can keep some food down which will make you feel better.
5) if you're claustrophobic or just feel a bit ick with the oxygen mask over your face you have the clip that goes into your nose instead and doesn't dry out your face and mouth.
6) something which you all told Michael when I was in hospital that worked brilliantly - make a fuss if something's not right, don't just accept it!
Um, that's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure everyone has some ideas of things that helped them when they were in?
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
Great idea for a thread Els I wish I could help, but going into hospital is completely normal for me! I do feel so sorry for people who have never been in before though, it must be very daunting.
37 years old, diagnosed with infantile idiopathic scoliosis at 6 months old with curves of 62(T) and 40(L) degrees. Casting and Milwaukee braces until surgery at 10 - ant release/pos fusion T1-T12, halo traction. Post op cast and then TLSO. Further surgery at 18 (ant release/pos fusion extended to L3 to include lumbar curve, costoplasty) and 25 (another costoplasty). Fusion extended to L4 at 33 (XLIF with 4 pedicle screws and two short rods). Pre-op curves: 76(T) and 70(L). Post-op curves: 45(T) and 35(L). Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome aged 34; scoliosis almost certainly due to this rather than being idiopathic.
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
Actually, another suggestion, if you're on a ward with people who can get up and about before you - make friends with them so they can do things for you
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
This is a great idea GC I'll have to try and think back ...
Me, a Mod? Nah ... I'll always be a rocker
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
i don't know if i was lucky or i just got slightly different care (being in the marbled private patients area!) but all of those things were done for me!
i saw the pharmacist on the day i was admitted (along with a million other specialists) and whilst i was still lucid i demanded to be given anti nausea meds on tap. i duly was, through my cannula and was able to take as many pain meds as it took to keep me happy. i still didn't eat anything, mind. my mum had to whisk my food away because just the smell made me feel sick.
when i was in the HDU, very soon after my surgery, they noticed that the mask was annoying me and switched me to the tube which i was very grateful for. although you know when you don't need it anymore: when it feels like there's an uncomfortable breeze up your nose!
i got given a pre med (i didn't want one), i think because of my age. i didn't think it'd have any effect on me but i can honestly say that it did and the feeling it is most similar to is being slightly drunk (i couldn't stand on one leg to put my stockings on!)
Diagnosed in March 2001 by family GP after my mum noticed an asymmetry in my spine. Referred to a consultant at the RNOH, Stanmore and started attending consultations for x-rays twice a year. Prescribed a TLSO brace to be worn 16 hours per day. Began with double major curves at approx 48 degrees. Offered surgery in 2003 aged 16 and declined to continue with school. Requested surgery in 2005 instead. Had T11-L3 fused on 16th July 2005 and haven't looked back! Released for all activities in March 2006, having been driving and riding horses with consultant's permission since 7 weeks post op.
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
id like to add that i would ask for pain releif and it could take up to 45 mins for them to get it,so me and hubs started writing down the times that the pain was worse (mine was 5pm and 11 in the moring) so we would ask for it 45 mins earlier so that i wasnt laying there in agony for up to 45 mins.
i would also like to ask does anyone know anthing about being moved,i was told i was only allowed to be rolled or made comfortable every 2 to four hours.
i had quite a good registrar and im afraid i told him everything!
i sound like one of those patients whos always shouting NURSE! and ringing the bell.really i wasnt half the time i couldnt reach it lol!
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
Don't be afraid to use a bedpan! It's embarassing, but it's better than wetting yourself, or worse, hurting yourself trying to get to the bathroom (not to mention sitting down, cleaning up and then standing up)! Plus the nurses do that all the time.
Don't be afraid to hit that morphine button! My mom had to remind me about it all the time because I'd be groaning in pain and completely forget that I don't have to be! (Of course, some people will have an easier time with that than others...)
My mom used straight vitamin E on my scar and it's not even noticable in most photographs now (11 years later). Just get a bottle of Vitamin E gel caps, break them open, and have someone smear the stuff on your scar once it's begun healing.
And my last point... Try not to be self-conscious about your scar... I read about people going for years trying to cover it up, never wearing tank tops or anything low-backed, because they felt like it was "ugly"... Embrace your scar! Embrace your metal! Scars are beautiful, because they make us more human. Plus, you'll never lose in a battle-wound competition! I show off my scar as much as I show off my tattoos!
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
I'll add one or two.
No matter how much pain you are in, don't ever ask to lie on your front for the post-op Xray, that was even more painful.
Don't let other patients get you down and tell you their woes if you are feeling fragile.
It is possible to turn yourself if you are a girlie and wearing a nighty just by pulling it out from underneath you.
Don't assume you will be able to stand on your own two feet at first, you won't!
Get some "dry shampoo" as showers will be out for a while.
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
something useful for me was to watch what you eat coming out of post op. I was given home fries (potatoes) and that made me severly constipated to the point where i could not stop throwing up blood
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
This was my sons first experience of hospital, and mine apart from childbirth of course lol
We were met by the whole team on surgery day, it seemed to take forever but within less than an hour they took him away for his pre med.
Post surgery : he was in icu for a couple of days and then in a side room (opposite nurses station) for 5 days and onto 2 days in a main ward. I think he was the only patient in the ward under 50.
Anyways, the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh is first class. I was allowed to be around for most of the day (i travelled a round trip of 4+ hours every day) and was made so welcome.
Everything that he needed, post op meds, anti sick, hygiene care, ice packs, were all automatically given and when he needed anything, he only had to press the all important orange button for nurse assist. He took a bad reaction to morphine and ketamine and they eventually found a drug that worked efficiently. He was quite poorly for a wee while with catheter, oxy, drainage bag, saline and antibiotic drips. It took a few days before he could get physically moved but when he got clear of his tubes and bags, they got him to roll side to side and then the physios got him up sitting and walking gently and confidently in the next days. They all seemed to be in good humour which helped distract him. He was in a lot of pain after making movements but that settled down too.
He was really happy to see Mr Garrido on his daily visits, telling him how he was feeling and Mr G always told him what was going to happen next. Mr G, anaesthetist and pain management nurse included me in these discussions. I asked and wrote down a lot of questions which they were happy to answer prior to discharge day.
I dont think anyone would have received better care if they had gone private our NHS service is outstanding, god bless all the wonderful people who work there
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
Only been in the hospital once (broken leg led to a blood clot and was in for 4 days/nights). I would highly recomend eye shades (not dark enough in a hospital to sleep well), a reading light (great when you can't sleep), and earplugs (too noisy for sleep, also). And if someone can bring real food once in a while, that's great. My hospital served highly processed garbage. No wonder people die in hospitals!
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
This has all been very useful! Have been in hospital quite a number of times 16 to be exact for something else but have never had to stay in. But thanks for all the useful stuff mentioned will keep it in mind when i eventually get something done with mine.
Even though i have never stayed in something that might be good to take is books (if you can read and bare the pain!) and an ipod type device
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
Well I've had two fractures before but this is v.different. The night before was the worst I was told I wasn't allowed any sort of sleeping pill so didn't sleep a great deal but afterwards it was plain sailing. I actually loved being in hospital I was in for 5 days and honestly used nothing I used my phone and that was about it apart from my mum's iPad (she sent mine home cos I didn't use it) like three times to check facebook properly and we watched the TV in my bay a bit because that was the way I liked to face but I never paid attention and don't remember what was on it haha.
I found my v pillow useful in hospital and I liked to lie on my sides most and they made me have a pillow between my legs for pressure sores and the v pillow was just the right angle and length for my legs
I'm Tiff, I'm 17, my consultant's Mr Gibson at RNOH Stanmore and I was diagnosed in November 2011 and I had my spinal fusion October 3rd 2012 and am now fused T2-T11 with amazing correction (60T/40L to 30T/40L).
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
I'm a registered nurse and work on a medical surgical floor. I also have my fusion scheduled for October. So, I know (or will soon) both ends of this thread.
First, I have to back up myself and my fellow nurses. If you knew the bull$*&# we had to put up with, you'd know why we aren't able to answer call lights right away. Nowadays, most nurses have a cell phone with an extension. I always encourage my alert patients to call me rather than use their call light. The call lights are answered by a secretary who is doing a thousand different things in addition to answering call lights for the entire floor (30+ patients). Ask your nurse if there is a better way of reaching her directly. Have her write her number/extension on the board in your room.
Don't wait until your pain is unbearable. Ask for pain meds when your pain is a 5/10. It's easier to treat 5/10 than to wait until it's 10/10 when no amount of medication can relieve it.
Clump your needs together. If you call your nurse for pain medication, think of what else you need before you send her away to get your meds. It's really difficult to help someone when they ask for one thing, then you bring it, then they ask for another thing, and you bring it, and then they call for something else... It sounds harsh, but the reality is that while nurses do want to help, we are extremely busy. Think of it like a waiter in a restaurant... they can do their job better if you tell them you need napkins, more water, a side of sauce, etc all at once rather than asking one at a time.
Buy pizza for the nurses and attach a note on top saying "Thanks for all the care, love the patient in room XX". Promise you'll get better care. Sometimes just knowing our care is appreciated goes along way. We deal with a lot of rude and ungrateful people, so the nice ones are a breath of fresh air. Saying please and thank you go a long way... common curtousy is priceless. You'd be surprised how frequently people forget their manners.
Know who does what. Usually nurses work with an aide. Don't bother your nurse if you need to go to the bathroom (I feel mean saying it over and over, but nurses are so busy). See if your nurse's aide has a number they can be reached at directly as well (they should have work cell phones too). Your nurse will appreciate not being bogged down with doing things that someone else can do and will allow your nurse to get your pain medication (and other patient's pain medication) in a more timely manner.
Arrange for people to come visit you and encourage your family to help you. It's so nice when patient's have family that aren't afraid to help out. If your family is weary about helping you out of bed, be sure to have the physical therapist educate them on how to help the right way. Get your family involved. There's nothing worse than when a family repeatedly asks me to do things that they can really do themselves (again, this sounds harsh, but we are SO busy).
Not sure what showering is like post-op, but there are special waterless shampoo caps the nurse can order for you to wash your hair. Not many patients know about these. They aren't the greatest, but it's a nice alternative to nothing at all.
Most hospitals have you fill out a menu each morning for the next day. But, you can always call the operator and have her connect you to the "diet office" and request things that aren't on that menu. If there's something you like that's not on the menu, chances are they can bring it to you anyway. Can't promise it'll be what you imagined it to be, but do know there are more options than what's on the menu.
If you like your nurse and you've gotten great care, ask if there is a special form you can fill out on her behalf. It's the little things like this that go a long way. Again, you'll get more smiles and better care if your nurse knows her efforts are appreciated.
Hope these help.
Re: Your First Experience of Hospital
I have to admit, I always try to be thoughtful when I'm on the ward since I too work in a hospital (although in the labs) and do understand how hectic it can be. Most of the nurses I've come into contact with have been lovely, but there have also been the odd few who don't seem to appreciate that they are being paid to care for patients and have been surly and unhelpful. Thankfully, they have definitely been the exception to the rule in my personal experience.
One thing though - many of the things you mention in your post Ashley are not the way things are done in other hospitals, (eg nurses carrying cell phones, menu sheets etc) so not all of your advice will be relevant to others I'm afraid.
Good luck when it comes to your turn to be 'on the other side'

Reacting to Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's statement against the decision of Tamil Nadu Government to release all the convicted assassinators of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, People Democratic Party (PDP) chief Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday questioned Rahul's silence over Afzal Guru's hanging.
"I wish that Rahul had named Afzal Guru also. The way Afzal guru was hanged in a hurry to satisfy some certain political parties. I wish he had spoken at that time also," Mufti told media here.
Rahul on Wednesday said that he is saddened by the decision of Tamil Nadu Government.
"Rajiv Gandhi's killers are being set free, I am saddened by this. I am personally against the death penalty but this is not about my father," Rahul had said.
"If a Prime Minister's killers can be released, what kind of justice should the common man expect? My fight is for justice for the poor" he added.
On Wednesday, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had said that the state cabinet will apply powers applicable to it under the Constitution to release the three convicted assassinators of Rajiv Gandhi -- Murugan, Santhan and Perarivalan -- if the Central Government failed to act on the same within the next three days.
She also said that the other convicts who had been sentenced to life imprisonment, namely, Nalini, Jayakumar, Robert Paes and Ravichandran, would also be released.
The Supreme Court had on Tuesday commuted the death sentence of three men to life in prison.
Santhan, Murugan and Perarivalan had petitioned the apex court against their death sentence, arguing that there had been an exceptional delay in a decision on their mercy pleas.
A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam delivered its judgement on these mercy pleas.
Rajiv Gandhi was killed by a suicide bomber at an election rally in Sriperumbedur on May 21, 1991. Fourteen other people also lost their lives in that blast.
The mercy petitions of the convicts were sent to the President of India, the last stage in the process of appeals, in 2000, and were rejected 11 years later. Their hanging was stayed in 2011 on the orders of the Madras High Court.

First part of a two-part series
In Dublin, Ireland, Navy gets thrashed by Notre Dame. At Michie Stadium near the vigorous Hudson River, Army loses to Northern Illinois.
Navy had risen to a level of competence with Coach Paul Johnson and a schedule of teams that made winning manageable. But Johnson went to Georgia Tech. And now losing football games slowly row down the Severn River and too often visit Navy-Marine Corps Stadium in Annapolis.
Army pared back its schedule. Pared it way back. And still the Black Knights of the Hudson can't qualify for a bowl game because they haven't been able to win even six games.
The annual Army-Navy game still draws a sellout crowd, but none of the national polls are moved by the outcome.
It wasn't always so.
It was in 1944 that the college football world had the nation's interest by the throat and wouldn't let go. And the one game that drew such attention that it was anticipated weeks in advance was No. 1 Army vs. No. 2 Navy.
Both service academies were sending many of their graduates straight to Europe and the battlefields of World War II or to the Pacific and the sea and air battles against the Japanese.
The civilian public listened closely for the nightly news about the happenings in Germany, France, England, and wherever the hold of the Nazis was gradually being eroded by the Allies. And then that public would move their radio dials to see what Walter Cronkite or Walter Winchell had to report on the happenings in Guam, the Coral Sea, or on Midway Island.
The magnificent Army team was coached by Earl "Red" Blaik. When the bands played "On Brave Old Army Team" and the misty-eyed public's neck hair stood on end, it was for a team that was 8-0 and had beaten Notre Dame's midwestern powerhouse.
Army had a pair of running backs in Felix "Doc" Blanchard and Glenn Davis that were known as "Mr. Inside" and "Mr. Outside" for their ground-gaining exploits. Both Blanchard and Davis would become Heisman Trophy winners.
Blaik had been helped by NCAA rules that allowed athletes enrolled at other schools to receive appointments to West Point and continue their schooling and football careers with Coach Blaik.
Army teams had Barney Poole, an All-America defensive and offensive end while playing for the University of Mississippi. Poole would be one of the few athletes who played college football for more than four years. His two seasons at West Point were not counted against his eligibility. Poole helped keep Army as the standard bearer in college football and is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Blaik had three-year quarterback Doug Kenna, who was at Ole Miss as a freshman but was given an appointment to West Point and played for Blaik as a sophomore, junior, and senior. Kenna did well enough that he is in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Blanchard at first went to North Carolina, where his mother's cousin, Jim Tatum, was the coach. After a season with the Tar Heel freshmen team, Blanchard enlisted in the U. S. Army. He was sent to New Mexico for training before his father, a well-known physician, got him an appointment to West Point.
Blanchard was a three-time All-America under Blaik.
in his three seasons playing for Army, the Black Knights went 27-0-1, with the well-chronicled 0-0 tie against Notre Dame being the only game West Point didn't actually win.
Like Blanchard, Davis was a heavy-hitter for those three Army teams that combined for a 27-0-1 record. In his three years, Davis scored 59 touchdowns and has a record that still stands today. In 1945, Davis averaged 11.5 yards per carry, an amazing stat. He was a three-time All-America football player and also played baseball, basketball, and ran track for the Black Knights.
Blanchard and Davis would appear in their football uniforms on the front cover of a 1946 edition of Life magazine.
In 1944, the Naval Academy came to the December meeting with Army as the No. 2 team in the land. The Midshipmen had a 6-2 record, losing only once to a college team. The Navy season had begun with a loss to North Carolina Navy Pre-Flight, a group in training for World War II. Otto Graham was the Pre-Flight quarterback and the coach was Paul "Bear" Bryant.
Georgia Tech had trimmed Navy, 17-15, for the Midshipmen's lone loss on a schedule that had wins over Notre Dame, Penn State, Purdue, and nationally-ranked Duke among others.
One of the most-decorated player on the Navy roster was Clyde "Smackover" Scott, a superb runner from Smackover, Arkansas.
Ben Martin would later become the head coach at the Air Force Academy. Other players whose exploits helped gain recognition from organizations like the Associated Press, United Press International, and Helms Foundation were tackle Don Whitmire, halfback Bob Jenkins, and Dick Duden.
Whitmire and Jenkins had been standouts on Alabama teams before entering the Naval Academy when the Crimson Tide dropped football.
Fabled sportswriter Grantland Rice was one of those calling the coming meeting of No. 1 vs. No. 2 the "Game of the Century". Rice wrote it would be "one of the best and most important football games ever played."
However, the location and the stadium where the game would be played had not been chosen.
President Franklin Roosevelt was mindful of the times. Rationing was the rule for many commodities. And spending extra money for gasoline, meals, and lodging for a distant football game wasn't palatable.
Roosevelt had stated that for the remainder of the war, the game would alternate between the two campuses. In 1944, it was Navy's turn to host the game. But Navy's Thompson Field could hold only about 18,500 fans.
When many in the sporting world wanted to see the game firsthand, less than 20,000 seats wouldn't be enough.
Roosevelt bent. A larger stadium and its crowd capacity would be linked to a new war bonds sales push. And the game site would be Baltimore's Municipal Stadium. A ticket was available to anybody buying War Bonds through the Maryland State War Finance Committee. All the tickets were sold the first day, and over $58 million was raised to help finance the war.
Over 66,000 lucky fans crammed into the stands for the December 2 kickoff. Blanchard did Army's kickoff duties. And when his boot was fielded by Navy's Bobby Tom Jenkins, a reporter quickly wrote to his editor: "There never has been a sports event, perhaps never an event of any kind, that received the attention of so many Americans in so many places around the world."
Servicemen crowded close to shortwave sets in many parts of Europe. The same scenes could be documented in the Pacific and along the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea.
As one wordsmith wrote: "This was a game played by boys training to soldiers and sailors for the benefit of battle-hardened soldiers and sailors dreaming of being boys once again."
The afternoon at Municipal Satdium was bitter cold . . . and it was windy as well. A few faint snow flurries blew through.
The marbled ground was hard to negotiate for the runners.
Scoring was kept to a minimum for the first three quarters.
Army clung to a 9-7 lead when the fourth quarter opened.
Navy's Whitmire and Jenkins had been injured and had to be removed. Their absence became critical in the fourth quarter.
Blaik was going to let the game fall at the feet of his best players. The Black Knights had possession on their own 48 to begin a drive. With Blanchard carrying on seven plays of a nine-play drive, Amry surged ahead, 16-7. Blanchard had gained all but four yards on the 52-yard march to points.
The next time Army got the ball, it was Davis sliding through a small crack in the Navy front line and then sprinting to a 50-yard touchdown that put the final brand on a 23-7 win for the Black Knights.
Navy had disrupted the Army offense often enough to intercept five passes and force three fumbles. But the Army defense was all but impenetrable. Navy's total offense total was only 169 yards.
When the Army team got back to the warmth of its dressing quarters, there was a telegram waiting for Coach Blaik.
"The greatest of all Army teams. We have stopped the war to celebrate your magnificent success." The wire was signed "MacArthur" . . . as in Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
The game has lived up to all the words written about it . . . and all the world-wide interest in it.
Army had completed another undefeated season. The Black Knights were the national champions. Army would claim still another unbeaten season and national championship the next year.
Blaik coached on through the 1957 season and compiled a 121-33-10 record in his 18 years at West Point.
Both Army and Navy are in danger of repeating losing seasons here in 2012.
But in 1944, both were college football titans . . . ranking No. 1 and No. 2 . . . and playing in the "Game of the Century".

Report : Scorchers prevail in dramatic, rain-hit match
News : Warne charged for breach of Code
Players/Officials: Shane Warne
Series/Tournaments: Big Bash League | Australian Domestic Season
Teams: Australia
Melbourne Stars captain Shane Warne has been fined $5000 for breaching the CA Code of Behaviour when he handed the captaincy to James Faulkner in an effort to avoid a ban for slow over rates in the BBL semi-final against the Perth Scorchers.
It was the second time in the tournament Warne had been fined for a behaviour breach after he served a one-game suspension, and was fined $4500, for his clash with Melbourne Renegades player Marlon Samuels.
Samuels escapes with a reprimand
Samuels escapes with a reprimand after suffering 'extreme provocation'
Warne was found guilty of breaching Rule 5: Laws of Cricket and Spirit of the Game by CA Commissioner Arthur Lodge.
In the semi-final at the WACA last Wednesday night, Faulkner was listed as captain on the Melbourne Stars team sheet and took part in the coin toss with Perth Scorchers captain Simon Katich, despite the presence of both regular captain Shane Warne and stand-in captain Cameron White in the Stars line-up.
Both Warne and White had previously been issued with one strike for a slow over rate violation, with a second strike this season resulting in an automatic one-match suspension.
In a bid to avoid the risk of a suspension, should the Stars advance to the final, Faulkner was given the official captaincy although Warne was clearly directing traffic throughout the match.
On 5 December 2012, KFC T20 Big Bash League teams were sent a Memo by Cricket Australia. Under the heading "Over Rates", the Memo stated, "If a team's official captain is selected but not named as captain, this will be considered against the Spirit of Cricket and may attract a Code of Behaviour charge."
This provision had been written in following Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene pulling a similar stunt during the World T20 Championship in October 2012. Having already been penalised for a slow over-rate in the tournament Jayawardene relinquished the captaincy to Kumar Sangakkara for Sri Lanka's Super Eights clash with England to avoid a possible suspension. Questions were raised over the legitimacy of Jayawardene's move, but the ICC never punished the Sri Lankan for it.
Warne was not present at the Code of Behaviour hearing. He was represented by Melbourne Stars CEO Clint Cooper and team manager Ben Robertson.
He did, however, respond to the verdict via a trio of messages on his Twitter account, claiming he had been unaware of the Memo. "Just got feedback that I was fined $5000 for spirit of cricket," he said. "Clarification - I had no idea about the rule/law... If I was aware of the law/rule I would have tossed the coin, to me I should have been informed and made aware by management!
"Anyway, disappointed it was not a Stars fine rather than me as I was never informed as I said... Glad you all understand now! This issue is for CA and Stars management whether it was a memo or a law. It was never passed on to me, if it was this wouldn't have happened!"
Mike McKenna, CA's executive general manager of operations and BBL chief, said it had been a clear rule breach, but was not perturbed by Warne's non-appearance at the hearing.
"The teams were notified before the season started that this rule was introduced for a very specific purpose," McKenna said in Melbourne. "And the very incident that occurred was that that we were trying to prevent happening. So it was absolutely open and closed as far as we were concerned.
"Shane was over here and the case was heard in Perth. On the night he was charged, we had a Code of Conduct commissioner ready to to to hear the case on the night, but it wasn't appropriate to conduct the hearing that night.
"So we just carried on as normal. It's not unusual for people not to appear if they don't have much of a defence in the circumstances."
Warne is unlikely to appear again in the BBL next season.

An Ohio man is in trouble with police after attempting to warn drivers of an upcoming drunk-driving checkpoint with a sign that read "DUI checkpoint ahead! Turn now!"
Douglas Odolecki took to a street corner in Parma, OH to warn drivers, although police quickly intervened, ticketing him for his sign and claiming that he was obstructing their ability to do their job. Odolecki says he was simply exercising his first amendment rights.
"It's an issue of freedom of speech for me because they wanted to make me take down my sign. They're trying to tell me that certain words on my sign are not proper," Odolecki told WOIO-19, a Cleveland-area CBS affiliate. "They're not going after DUI's anymore. They're going after everything else." According to WOIO, police are required to make all information regarding a DUI checkpoint available to the public one week before hand.
Odolecki has acquired legal representation on a pro bono basis. "He's not in the street. He's not doing anything at all to physically interfere or impair the police ability to conduct their checkpoint at the checkpoint site. It's absolutely free speech under the first amendment," Odolecki's lawyer, John Gold, told WOIO.
Police wouldn't comment on the Odolecki's case, although they did tell the news station that they did make one DUI arrest with this particular checkpoint. Odolecki, meanwhile, faces up to a $700 fine and 90 days in jail. We have the news report from WOIO embedded below, as well as video taken by Odolecki of his 16-minute encounter with police. Take a look at both by scrolling down, and then head into Comments and let us know who you think is in the right here.
