That is a pretty rude remark pretending to be a question, Carol. I know it

wasn't directed at me. However I am an RN as well as having advanced

practice degrees.

I have spell check on the computer where I write my progress notes. I also

do that here. However, many RNs still write all their notes by hand and are

not necessarily proficient at typing.

I have seen literally thousands of typos and poor grammar here and on all

the lists. As long as I can understand the content, then communication has

happened. I am responsible for the posts I write. You are responsible for

yours. We are not here to critique how others write. As far as I know,

this list welcomes people who cannot type well, poor spellers, dyslexic

folks and people with communication difficulties.

The circle can be big enough to include us all.

Strangely enough, when I was younger I was quite enamored by quick wit, sophistication, and taking clever pot shots at others. The older I get the more I appreciate simple kindness and the willingness to just let others be where they need to be and have support for their journey. I don't live up to this all the time, but this is my view.

I'm doing well today. My tummy is hurting because I ate too much too quickly a few minutes ago. But overall I am pleased with the gradual increase in my energy, the way my tummy has settled down, all the pain is gone, and the weight keeps coming off.

I was in a lot of pain, totally exhausted, and unable to eat for some time post op. My condition improved gradually and now, at 6 months out, I am very happy with my surgery and the results. I am very hopeful that you will continue to improve a bit at a time until you finally wake up one morning and realize you are feeling well, losing weight, and feeling a lot better.

Carole..

only misspells stuff when she's upset.. which I do, too.. and

you would be amazed at some of the terrible spelling in patient

charts.. some of it even written by <gasp> doctors. What gets me is

that the nurses I know who do misspell words in their charting are

usually the first ones to jump on another coworker who has made a

mistake.. we're all human, it happens.. yanno?

Liane

postop 6.5 weeks..

Transplant RN

STILL had to be told to go to the ER when she was dehydrated postop

because she was too stubborn to admit she was in trouble...

well, I don't consider that using the Spell Check function is

'cheating;' merely taking advantage of all the technology one has

paid for when one buys a computer!
