Last day in Yuba

Hello all!!  Well, I have been in Yuba City for a little over two months!  Wow. how time flies!   I have enjoyed my time here.  I have learned SO many things in such a short time.  I am still in awe of how the Lord knew EXACTLY where He wanted me.  I was quite blessed with this team over at Yuba Skilled Nursing Center.  They spoiled me actually.  As a "New Grad,"  I didn't expect much, but I was blown away!!  Today was a bittersweet day.  I laughed and cried.  I got attached to a couple of my patients, so it was sad to have to sat goodbye to them.  You know, one of my CI's (clinical Instructor) from one of my affils told me that I shouldn't get attached to my patients.  But how can you not!?!  When you are working with then day in and day out!  To see such an improvement in the life of someone such a short amount of time is unbelievable.  There were many a day when I just got so frustrated, mostly with myself, that I wanted to scream!  There were days that were beyond stressful and I wanted to cry, but then I would get a hug from my coworker and she would make it all better!!  I will never ever forget you!  We are forever Facebook friends!  My last day, they had a little "party" with lots and lots of food!!

I was given a gift!!  Beautiful flowers from one of my friends at work!!  They smelled so good!!

Any excuse to have party right?  I guess I'll have to do.  I highly doubt any other facility I go to will treat me as good as these ladies...and gentleman (1)...

I even got a card from one of my patients!  She was the sweetest lady ever.  I had the privilege of witnessing her first "steps" after being in a cast for eight weeks!  It says, "Thank you for taking care of us old people."  Too sweet!!

Tonight I am finishing up some last minute packing and laundry.  I leave tomorrow for Stockton.  I will be working in Manteca, but my company got me a furnished apartment in Stockton.  I've never lived in a furnished apartment before, so we shall see how I like it.  I can give it a month, and if it turns out that I don't like it, they will just move me.  I am kinda happy about living back in "civilization."  Where there are things to do.  And you can drive 5 mile in any direction and NOT be in another town.  Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy living here in Yuba City, there just was not a lot for a young-er person to do. 

So what will me next adventure entail??  Time will only tell...Until next time!  Stay tuned, I will be visiting SoCal in the next couple of weeks and there will be lots to tell!!

Love you all so much!!  Thanks for talking the time to read my boring blog!
