update
so, it has been a while since i updated.
i am in the MICU at the VA this month, which is going well so far....i have miraculously had two no hitters (where i admit zero patients) on call nights, which is awesome. however, after the first one my next call night was long and painful as was the day after it, so, i am worried about call tomorrow .... i am not superstitious about most of life really, but i am TERRIBLY superstitious about life on call / in the hospital.
jayna b is a cute doggie and i love her very much, she is demanding though, takes up a lot of space on the couch and whines more than her fair share, but she is so very cute!
i do anesthesia next month which should be good, diana has had her own room a few days, which is scary, but aparrently the attending didnt leave her side, so that is good, though she had a borderline attending, so hopefully that wont happen.
had a brief moment of catatonia a few days ago thinking, god, i am sick of this 60-80 hours a week, i am sick of call, i am sick of never having 2 consecutative days off and i am only 2 months into it....and then i realized, it is going to be this way for at least 4 more years! in anesthesia here since there are only a total of 18 residents, you take 7 to 8 calls per month, which is a lot, and work at least 80 hours a week for your first few months as a CA1 here...this is the thing that sucks about UC, since there is such a big CRNA program there are relatively few MDs in training....so, hat sucked and was painful/sad to realize
got a haircut recently, which was exciting. also got my hilights redone, that has received fairly mixed reviews but i like it, though i do think i like my hair brown better, regardless of which color it is i always want the other, which is frusturating and expensive.
i should take a shower now...we are going to the dentist this afternoon, hopefully i dont need a lot in terms of fillings but i was told a year ago i had a cavity so i am not optimistic
a few days ago i woke up and my upper lip was swollen, and it sitll is, and it feels weird and like burning and i dont know what is up with that.
talledega nights was hiLARious!
