Thank God it's a new month. Thank God it's a new rotation. Thank God I don't ever have to do an emergency room rotation again. Thank God I'm home before the sun goes down. Thank God that today was a million times better than every single day last month combined. Seriously, everyone. THANK GOD.
Today I woke up at 4:00 a.m. I shit you not. 4:00 a.m. This was not exactly the time I wanted to wake up because holy eff, that is early when you're used to rolling out of bed anywhere between 7 and 8:30 a.m. everyday. But, it is what it is. I high tailed it to work because I thought I had a bunch of patients to round on. Nope. Just one. Soooo, I had a lot of time to look up my patients that were going to be here for surgery and learn all their personal information by heart (I got to work at 5:15).
After getting sign out, seeing my patient with my chief, I got to go do some very basic surgeries - some bread and butter cases of a GYN resident. IT WAS THE BEST. Yes, my low back is sore from standing for so long without a break. Yes, my urine was the yellowest it's been in a while because I didn't even have time to grab something to drink. And yes, my knees are swollen. But, it is 100% worth it.
The rest of my day was pretty chill - just checked up on some patients and worked on some things for days to come. After getting out at 5:00 p.m. (which is a million times better than getting out at 8:00 p.m.), I ran home for a quick snack (I did get a chance to eat lunch during the day), and then threw on my gym clothes to have a session with my brand new personal trainer. I'm not sure what happened to my old one. They gave me the standard, "He's no longer with us," but this one was pretty great. So, despite my bitching, I'm glad that change happened. Today we mostly did squats, lunges, bicep curls, crunches, medicine ball core work, and ropes. It was a pretty solid work out. My only complaint is that it didn't get my heart rate up much - it was more strengthening. This new guy and I also talked about doing weights and measurements every two weeks, which I like.
Now that I'm home, I'm going to read up on a few things for work, trying to organize my computer (it's getting s l o w - gotta delete some old files, I think) wash up for bed, and maybe eat a little something. I'm not that hungry, but I think I'll regret not eating in about an hour as my stomach is growling in bed. So, maybe a little Laughing Cow cheese wedge with some pretzel crisps - sounds good just thinking about it.
In other news, I weighed in yesterday. I post it on my weigh-in page, but I didn't feel up to blogging last night since I was busy reading up about upcoming surgeries.
