Terri had a long night--she was up till 2 or 3am with a patient that was in his last stages of death. He did die that night, not unexpected, as he had a long illness. Terri was making sure his last hours were peaceful, and consoling the family members that had gathered.
This has been a hard week for Terri. It seems as though just about the time we would be going to bed, she would get a call and head for the hospital. Many times she could probably just handle things over the phone, but her care and concern for her patients makes her want to be sure that everything is being done for them, and that nothing is missed. It makes life harder, but it makes the medicine much better.
Anyway, today was rather quiet, even though Terri was still on call, so we headed to the beach. You could tell how tired Terri was, as she decided to simply sunbathe while Liz and I walked down the beach looking for 'sea glass'. We had a little success once we got far down the beach.
Then, while the two girls chatted, I went snorkeling--but the water was rougher than normal and the water was stirred-up and cloudy.
After getting thoroughly baked in the sun, we went home to get cleaned up and ready for dinner tonight at Fleming Restaurant.
