Work

I've worked at the same place since before I graduated from high school.

I love it there!

I am on my last week of doing the same job that I have done for over 6 years!

I have been emotional about moving on.... I'm going just down the hall to work part time in the x-ray department.

I have had so many memories of times shared with patients come back to me in the past few weeks. It makes me sad that I won't be in the same situation to create these same memories anymore.

I keep telling myself that my life in x-ray will be better! Not that my job will be any better but because of my new life situation and ability to work part time so I can still be a full time Momma!

I already miss my patients! I have made a lot of friendships that I am going to miss. I'm going to miss the involvement in their lives. Watching their families grow throughout pregnancy to babies and into toddlers and now going to kindergarten! I'll miss my older patients that I joke and laugh with at each visit. I've always tried to make my patients feel comfortable with me, to trust me, let them know that I am concerned and care about them, to remember who they are - call their children by name and make their visit something positive. It's how I would want to be treated and I hope I showed this to them. I still can try my best to do this - but my involvement with patients will be different....

I just needed to write tonight I guess. I can do this! It will be hard but I can do this.... my end result is ALL WORTH IT!

Well Crap! We're clear up in Canada and I'm sad that you won't be there anymore! When we come down to Utah I am soooooo coming in to see you in X-Ray. I'll encourage my kids to jump on the trampoline non-stop till we can come see you! Ok, I really wouldn't do that but we WILL come see you!

What! You mean you wont be able to give Brooklyn her shots on Monday! I should have made her appt. sooner, now I am scared! You are the only one I trust Davian!

I can't believe you have worked there that long. Man does time fly. I am excited for you in your new chapter though. And that you get to go part time is so great Davian. I love you dearly. I wish we would get together more often. Life is just so crazy. whenever you are craving some Maverick ice cream call me!

Jan said...

You truly reached your goal! I always felt important, comfortable and knew my girls would be taken care of when they came to see you at the doctors. With our luck we will see you at the X-ray office too. I am so happy for you that you are able to work and be a mom. You are going to be great at both!!!! Can't believe it is so close!!!

Unknown said...

Yay for flexible work schedules! You'll find your groove in both new adventures and be amazing too!

When that little baby bear gets here you will not even think twice about being at home. It is well worth it! It's sad to move on but the great thing is that you learn and grow with each new experience! (at least that is what I keep telling myself as I cry my eyes out when I think of moving to Ohio!)

Davian, I hope you know that I kept coming to Dr. LeSueur because of you. I love him, but you made each visit wonderful. I can't believe the next time I go you won't be there. I think you are doing the right thing to be a Mom, as far as I'm concerned it is the most important job you will ever do. I just want to thank you for everything. You always took such great care of me and my kids and we will never forget you. Now I just hope we have to get some x-rays once in a while to see you LOL.

Good luck with the little one I will keep checking up on you through the blog world to see how you all are. Thanks again we love you, The Weight Family

Davian I so know how you feel. When I left the doctors office after i had the baby it was hard. I was there for 5 years also. I missed the patients so much, but it gets easier day by day. You will love being home to be a mommy.

Breanne said...

I'm just going to stop taking my kids to the dr! HAH! When they need shots can you still give them to them? We will miss you but we have had quite a few x-rays lately so really I am not worried about it. Oh, yeah you're my sister I can see you when ever I want, or you want. Goo dluck and I can hardly wait for baby bear to get here and see what she looks like and hold her and kiss her and love her.
