Bless you! You fully embrace what God had prepared you to do when you were so young! ("the time I was four she had her first child") You were only four and changing diapers?
And what was that accident? And what does it mean "circus?"
I like learning about your life but it creates more questions in my mind! Sorry!
"what ever we did, they did. They learned to clean patients, changed beds"
Suggest:
whatever we did, they did. They learned to clean patients, change beds

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Isn't that the way of life, Alie! LOL, I sometimes think women were born with an internal chip that says we have to clean up the poo! Men definitely think so, lol. This was a really interesting read, learning about your life. You packed in a lot, and enjoyed every part of it. That is the best part of this story, you enjoyed it. Some never get to say that. I can't wait to read on. :)) Sandra xxx

Thanks so much Sandra for reading, reviewing and your comments. I was trying to write it, present it as a blog. I am glad you enjoyed it and you are right men tend to think that way. Big hugs my friend.

I can relate to the stories of being the "poop" patrol person. I also do cat litter duties. I worked as a home health aide and a lot of s**t does happen! I could relate to your words. I may have missed your earlier writing that explains your accident?

Hi, Allie. This post is so down to earth and real in its theme. I liked the way you showed us how you ended up being the poop cleaner upper. LOL I'm sure your husband is equally as glad you handle the poop deal now. (Or did I misunderstand?) Bob

Thank you Bob for reading, reviewing and your kind comments. LOL the only time he gets clean up is if he takes her out and doesn't get to a ditch in time. (we do have a little baggie holder on her leash even though she weighs in at 75 lbs-I still get the litter box and any barf). I am glad you enjoyed this chapter, I was hoping to make it sound like a blog, just to be different. Blessings.

Your life, like everyone's has it's up and downs. You get up in the morning and walk the dog, get down and clean their mess. That is life for an animal lover as well as a lover of life. Good story of your life. You could omit this part if you like, "Along the way" you repeated it. "what ever we did, they did" (whatever) Thank you very much for sharing a portion of your life.

Comment from Pantygynt
You seem to have enjoyed (not sure that is quite the riught term) a life in which human and animal detrius has played a large part. You are therefore better qualified than most to complain the poop happens. Yet you don't. You don't seem to be the complaining type. In fact you seem to revel in all the pop, barf and whatnot that comes your way. Strikes be Jim (the other one not me) is a lucky guy, even if he still has a year or two to go until he can put his feet up.
I enjoyed this read, finding out how others live I always find interesting.

Comment from BeasPeas
Hi Alie. A well written chapter to your story. I admire nurses greatly. They have to put up with a lot in their profession and all of those I've met have been congenial and helpful. They're indispensable.
You have written also included in this chapter one of my "pet peeves," that is, those who don't clean up after their pets. They want the pet but not the responsibility. I think the rules of the RV parks and society as a whole to require pet owners to actually DO that is terrific. Animal's do have to go to the bathroom, and just as if they're our kids, we have to pick up after them. It's the right thing to do. Marilyn

Thank you so much Marilyn, for reading, reviewing and your kind comments. I am like you, if you have a pet clean up after it, no exceptions. I know people with guide dogs who are trained to stand with a specific paw next to their business, so their owners can clean up, now if that dog hasn't been trained I do understand, but that is the only one. I have even given baggies to people without. I remember one time a lady had her pug who did his job but she had her coffee in her other hand, so I gave her a baggy and offered to hold her coffee. Yeah I know I am a smart @$$ sometimes. Again thanks.

Those are good solutions. I like the offering to hold the coffee cup. People are funny. Many aren't responsible.

LOL! I suppose you can get used to anything. I only had one child and never did tolerate diaper changing well. Hubby was better at it. But that only lasts a few years, and then babies turn into fun little people. :)

Comment from Mabaker
That was so good Alie. You would have been in your element Friday and Sat last week I barfed both ends for two full days and nights. Sunday I blacked out in the passage and Raymond rang the Ambulance, who worked on getting a blood pressure, inserting IV and getting fluids in as fast as is legally possible, rushed me to the Hospital. All at 11-30 PM I swirled in and out just wanting to sleep, but someone always woke me up. When they got me to Emergency they changed tactics and kept taking blood or giving me fluids. They wouldn't let me sleep either. They did a catscan and discovered a large lump of faeces so that required an enema, That worked, but still, they kept asking me my name and date of birth.
By three AM I was finally allowed to sleep. For all of an hour. Then back into the Ambulance and I was taken to the private hospital some fifty metres away. Then the big guns came out. I was found to be dehydrated and they hooked me to a drip with fluids. Then for the next five days, I wanted to go home. No way, Charley. Your post reads so like my experience, I felt every needle and suture. Love U Anne.

Yiks, you poor thing Anne, that is so horrible when you want to sleep and they keep waking you. I do hope they gave you a talking to regarding diet and fluids. I know it is a pain in the butt to be running to the bathroom but as we get older we really need our fluids so first we flush our kidneys and second we keep our feces or stool soft enough so we can pass it. Also if you haven't gone at least once every four days you need to touch base with your doctor. Daily BMs are best. If you can't get out to walk or do a slow run for about a mile every other day (not jogging), do what I call chair running every couple of hours for five minutes. Sit in your chair and simply lift your legs up from your hips so your knees are about two or three inches off the chair. I have a friend that likes to swing her arms when she is doing this. Please do take care. I am glad Raymond was there for you. Luv u Alie.

I like how you saw the pattern growing in your life and how it led to your career. Seems in any job the administration is an annoying problem.
Your husband knows how to play his cards. LOL
