Tired. That is the only word to describe my current lifestyle. I am surviving my current surgery rotation and though I don't really like it, I don't hate it either. I have completed 4 out of my 8 calls this month. Call is pretty brutal. I've only seen my call room (where the bed is) twice this month and I have only actually uses the bed once and that was for about 10 minutes. The service is busy and the paperwork is endless. The benefit is that I get to leave the morning post call so am usually home by 9 or 10 that morning. And yes, I sleep all day. I get up in the late afternoon, walk around in a fog and am back to sleep in the early evening. That gives you the magnitude of my exhaustion. (I slept for 20 hours pretty much straight over the weekend).
There have been some interesting patients.....the 15 year old that took a pregnancy test that came back positive, dx with an ectopic pregnancy that ended up being a cancer. THat pregnancy test saved her life. There is an epidemic of appendicitis and pyloric stenosis with multiple kids daly it seems. Couple of other interesting things that are too specific for me to talk about.
On the stitching front, I do so intermittently. I'm stil working on my fairy and stitch by stitch I am getting closer to done. It's hard to stitch though with your eyes closed. I've picked up my stitching more than once only to find I could see the holes straight because I was so darn tired.
You can see a picture here:
She is moving somewhat quickly (well in my stitching world anyway). I'm on the last color of purple. Then she needs shoes, some leaves, beads and BS'ing.
What next you ask? I think And A Garden Grows. I need a change of pace...lol.
