I’m still working on designing what will be a fun challenge… So here’s a new variation to try. I’m going to type a sentence having to do with medical terminology and there will be blanks in the sentence. Your mission, should you accept it, is to fill in the blanks with the funniest, most off the wall things you can think of. Please post your submissions in the comment section and if there are enough takers in a few days I’ll post a poll letting you vote for the funniest one. Sounds like a plan? So here we go… If a patient is alert and is oriented only to two things and not completely oriented to three (person, place, and time) I might chart “Patient a&o x2, to (blank) and (blank).”
And now for the 5×5 my auntie tagged me to do…
Five Minutes to yourself. How would you spend them ideally?
1. On the phone probably with family
2. Reading
3. Petting my brat-cat, Sylvester
4. Being thankful I’m not at work :)
5. Reading any one of my family member’s or friend’s blogs
Five Dollars to spend right now. How or where would you spend it?
1. Handel’s raspberry truffle ice cream cone (Can you say YUM?)
2. Book
3. Some great thrift store treasure
4. Another book
5. A new calendar to write down the birthdays of all my nieces and nephews
Five Items in your house you could part with right now?
1. The wilted lettuce in the refrigerator
2. The ugly floral print pants in my closet that I’m not sure why I ever bought and not sure why I haven’t gotten rid of them yet
3. The stack of old read newspapers I haven’t gotten around to discarding yet
4. The candles on the kitchen table (need to replace them)
5. The throw pillows on my sofa that always just seem to be in the way
Five Items in your house you absolutely, positively could never part with?
1. Sylvester the cat
2. My cell phone
3. My computer (until it needs to be replaced)
4. The new super soft and cozy robe I got at Old Navy this morning
5. My photographs
Five Words (or phrases) you love?
1. I love you
2. Loveyoubye (that’s how Cindra and I end phone conversations)
3. Hi Brookie (that’s how mom answers the phone when she sees it’s me calling)
4. God is great
5. It’s on sale
Brooke's Musings

hope that the you are well..will email you when i get my van back and can get to do that errand.. XOXO
Brookie, I like your 5 X 5, honey. I thought it was sort of fun to do, and usually I don’t much care for that stuff.
Your new challenge should be fun, too! I can’t wait to see what people come up with – especially Tom.
Love and miss you xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Sweetie, even if it’s opn sale you aren’t saving money if you buy something you don’t want or need — like floral print pants. (What were you thinking?)
Patient responds x2 Bert and Ernie.
“Patient a&o x2, to (his ass) and (a hole in the ground).”
Sorry, I couldn’t resist!
male patient a&o x2, to nurse’s boobs
Quilly-Sister, I read your “meow” and was thinking you’d only listed one thing, not two, patient was oriented to….then it dawned on me, ‘boobs’ as in two of them! I like it!
lol at aunt Quilly… yeah, I’m really not sure what I was thinking when I bought those ugly pants! I did finally get rid of them this morning. Put them in the box to donate to Goodwill I have in my storage closet. They’ll get dropped off when the box is full. And funny responses, guys… Keep them coming!
“Patient a&o x2, to (her mirror) and (credit card).”
oh, and loveyoubye.
what kind of sofa did you get, anyway?
Hi Brooke, I’ve been out of the loop for a while but will give your challenge a whirl, if I can understand it–are person, place and time examples of things that patients are usually oriented to? So you are asking us to come up with two of our own things that the patient is oriented to, right?
Just making sure.
Oh and my next challenge is up as well!
Well, I’ll drop in again soon.
cheers,
Tom
Picture of sofa soon to follow?
New job so exhausting you can’t type?
