Ok, so last time I wrote was Nov. 12, so almost a week ago. I can't even blame interviews or traveling on reasons why I have not written. But it has been hectic around my house. I did rest and catch up on some sleep this past weekend and I intended to blog on Sunday, but somehow that didn't happen.
Quick recap:
- I have come down with a slight cold: a headache for a day, and congested nose for the past couple of days, but I found that 24 hr Claritin D takes pretty good care of my nose for nearly 24 hrs! so it actually works
- Went to see The Men Who Stare at Goats - was better than I expected, also less goat staring than I expected
- Sief went and picked up his 2 suits we bought for the interview season, then we had a session with a bunch of us making Sief try on his suit with different shirt and tie combos
- Went to the outlets to buy Sief new dress shoes - got 2 pairs at ~$40 each = AWESOME!!!!
- My dad turned 60!!
- Work this week has been AMAZING! Today I had the best moment of my medical career. My attending (who is awesome & has become a friend of mine over the past year, we worked together last year as well) let me do a c-section 90% on my own! It totally rocked.
I got to do the first incision, then cut down through the subcutaneous tissue to the fascia, cut the fascia, some pulling and tugging, then split the tissue that holds the abdominal muscles together, next the serosa covering the uterus & bladder, and finally I cut through the uterus, broke the water and delivered baby! He tried to let the 3rd year medical student deliver the placenta, which was cool for me to see, because I was in that 3rd year medical student's shoes last year and remember Dr. N letting me do the same thing & how it was soooooo cool to have my hand & forarm inside someone's body. The med student was having some trouble so Dr. N looked at me and I took over! Next stitch up the uterus, close the fascia, and work your way to skin. Seriously AWESOME!!! It ws great!!!! So so amazing.
- Now I'm packing to leave Hershey tomorrow for 3 months away! It's crazy packing for 3 months in 2 carry on bags. I am leaving one here for Sief's brother to bring back with him to Cali in December. Starting tomorrow I'm on vacation until Janurary (well you could call it an interview rotation, since I'll mainly be on the road). Then Janurary I'm at UC Davis for an inpatient family medicine month, and February Costa Rica baby!!! woo woo!!!
- But before all of that I leave tomorrow for Chicago, interview there on Friday --> then flying to Denver Colorado to see Ry Ry (my old college roomate)!!!
So when I don't write for the next couple of days...you'll know why!!!
And I finally get to be home for Thanksgiving - the first time in years!!!
ok have to run - time to finish packing...
