The nurses who came in and out of the room barely looked at us, talked down to us and talked to each other about us. We could hear them saying, “Babies making babies and here’s another one we will be paying for.” If they had bothered to check they would have seen that my husband had a job and we had very good insurance. Of course, that shouldn’t have made a difference in the type of care they were giving me. I endured several shift changes of these types of nurses before I encountered one nurse who was kind. She seemed to genuinely care about our feelings and concerns.
Since then the Fourth of July has had several peculiar recognitions. The two most distinguished men in the framing and support of the Declaration were Thomas Jefferson and John Adams -- the one having penned it and the other sustained it the most forcibly in debate -- the only two of the fifty-five who sustained it being elected President of the United States. Precisely fifty years after they put their hands to the paper it pleased Almighty God to take both from the stage of action. This was indeed an extraordinary and remarkable event in our history. Another President, five years after, was called from this stage of existence on the same day and month of the year; and now, on this last Fourth of July just passed, when we have a gigantic Rebellion, at the bottom of which is an effort to
My baby sister is the one who really takes care of me after a procedure, when I come home all drugged up she has a bed made for me on the couch, she will have a glass of water there waiting for me with a snack, if I need something she is right by my side the entire time. My parents have both been by my side the entire time, they never once would get mad or frustrated with me when I was in pain or taking my frustrations out on them. If it wasn’t for my family, I don’t think that I would have been able to get through and really understand my condition. My contentment with my injuries, as well as the way I viewed myself quickly changed this past summer, as well as how I see other people. I was diagnosed with a condition called RSD (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy).
It is the truth, but at that moment it was the farthest thing from my mind. I remember the pungent anticeptic smell of the birthing room Shannon was in. The beep beep of the monitors that were hooked up to Shannon and her unborn baby. As the contractions would start to rise as the beeping of the monitor would speed up and grow louder Shannon would squeeze my hand or her husband when the pain increased. I found a new respect for Jarid that day that I had never felt before for the way he catered to her and made her as comfortable as humanly possible.
At the time that the mother welcomed the doctor, the first thing she mentioned was the location where they were holding their child. Once the doctor came she directed him straight to the kitchen sine it was the warmest room in the house. When the doctor came into the kitchen before he approached his patient he removed his coat, after mentioning that she was completely covered. An aspect very obvious that a reader can notice, is the rough manner of communication implemented by the Olson’s family. There were multiple occasions where they were not as kind to each other.
For example, Mitchel brought Cam breakfast in bed because it was mothers’ day. I believe I saw depicted also here was “complimentary”, a as described by Nichols page 99 in how Cam was always taking offense into being viewed as the female in the relationship, and Mitchell was constantly trying to convince him otherwise thus remaining in a family homeostasis. Then we see how the concept of “triangles” in which a third party member, in this case the friends are at a gathering; moms and children were asked to take pictures and Cam tries to escape. Social Constructivism, page 95, is seen when eventually Cam did get chosen to be the “mom” to take the group picture and was even given a bouquet of flowers. Again Mitchell tries to protect Cam as he tries to explain that people are just not ready to interact with gay couples without being offensive thereby, continuing the pattern of “family homeostasis page
Since the first president, George Washington, took office on April 30, 1789, there have been forty-two different men chosen by the citizens of our country to lead and govern us as a nation (The White House). Though all of these men have had differences, one common ground they have all shared is their color, they have all been white. But, the 2008 presidential election forever changed our nation’s highest office, when for the first time in our country’s history, a man of color, African-American Barack Obama, was elected President of the United States. This historical induction has made the 2008 presidential election one of the most important in our nation’s history not only in terms of its racial significance, but also for many other implications it has had, and will have. This election has touched on multiple sociological issues ranging from gender, with vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, to the state and direction of our current economy (the “recession” crises), to other such sociological issues as religion, class, and even national security.
The Republican Party brought her up on the stage on purpose, because Mary Fisher was a perfect example of a “safe” person to speak about AIDS. It may not be surprise in present day; however, in 1990’s, Fisher shocked people as a middle class white mother from a reputable family who was HIV-positive. “Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members have been reluctantly drafted from every segment of American society.” At the moment she started speaking, her voice filled with her spirit of confident. Fisher stood at a position, “I want my children to know that their mother was not a victim. She was a messenger.” She didn’t only say she was a messenger, and she showed her confidence throughout the entire speech.
We have to paint the baby’s room and fix it up before he arrives. Surprisingly, I am stress free with the entire baby shower since my momma and my grandma agreed to do it. Despite the fact of being pregnant and feeling sick most of the time, I absolutely love the fact that I am carrying our little peanut around in my tummy every day. As I have said, other than all the other details of being pregnant and having a baby, we cannot wait for our precious baby to finally arrive. All women need a baby plan when they are expecting a baby.
She thought that was the best idea and would tell me all of the wonderful things nurses would do. Naturally I lo e helping people and as a child I knew that grandma also knew. We would play pretend and I was always the nurse and she was always my patient. So even from a very young age I have been told and encouraged to grow and do wonderful things with my life and if being a nurse is what I wanted then that’s what I could be. As I grew older I would always love to watch the Discovery Channel, watching Discovery Health and a show Called Birthday.
