1. Do not touch the mirror. If you have already touched the mirror, SKIP TO STEP 15 IMMEDIATELY.
2. First, make sure that your reflection is really gone. Make sure that you are visible. If you are not visible, the lack of a reflection is normal.
3. Check another mirror to see if your reflection is there. If so, the mirror without a reflection is simply broken and needs replacement.
If you have confirmed you are visible and your reflection is gone from all mirrors:
4. Do not touch the mirror.
5. Fill a bowl with water. Overnight, leave it at the base of the mirror nearest to your bed.
6. When you wake, if the bowl is empty, your reflection simply has business elsewhere for a while. You may rest knowing your reflection will return when they are ready.
7. If the bowl is still full, your reflection has been taken.
If your reflection is gone:
8. Be ready. They may come for you.
9. Prepare for a journey. With your reflection gone, you may pass through the mirror, but first, be sure you are prepared.
10. Bring food and water. Beyond the mirror, eat or drink nothing unless it has specifically been offered to you. Dying of hunger or thirst is better than the alternative.
11. Tie one end of a ball of string around your ankle, and the other to something on this side of the mirror, like the foot of your bed. This will not help, but sometimes reassurance is necessary.
12. Do not trust what your eyes or ears show you. Count the number and direction of each step you make. Make no marks. Take nothing with you. Leave nothing behind.
13. What state you find your reflection in will vary. I cannot advise you on this. Trust your instinct. Do not trust them.
14. Follow the steps you made back to the mirror. Do not let your reflection ahead of you. They will be grateful for your rescue, but they may still try to leave, trapping you in their place.
IF YOU HAVE ALREADY TOUCHED THE MIRROR:
15. I’m sorry.
16. Try to wash the chrome off your hands. You will not succeed.
17. Wait. Be ready.
18. They are coming for you. There is nothing you can do.
19. I’m sorry.

This nurse is doing god's work
If there’s one thing I feel I can unambiguously brag about, it’s that I’m great with patients who are in pain crises. I’m tenacious and stubborn about lowering 10/10 pain to something more manageable. I got a patient in “25 out of 10” pain at start of shift down to a 4 by midnight and it only took opioids, Tylenol, muscle relaxants, ice packs, warm blankets, fresh coffee, repositioning, an abdominal binder I scrounged up, a phone call to the surgeon to get lidocaine patches ordered, and some serious chit chatting with the patient while we waited for all that to kick in. We didn’t end up needing IV medication, we didn’t have to increase opioids, we didn’t need to add any medication that would potentially delay discharge, and the majority of what I did is all stuff she can also do at home so it’s a sustainable pain management plan. This is my absolute favorite thing with nursing, I love love love managing pain, I know I talk about it a lot but it’s the most satisfying thing in the world. I love watching someone emerge from a horrendous haze of pain until they feel like a person again. Also I’m scheduling this to post well after my shift is done so that I don’t jinx anything, also while I was writing this post I had to take a quick break for two hours half way through because someone started having a seizure. My job is wild. I used to be a barista.
