Winter time . . .

Wow its been awhile . . . I'll sum up my time since I've posted:

November was colorectal. 30 solid days of suck. I loved colorectal as a student, the surgeries were great and the diseases were too. But my month as an intern on colorectal was painful. Very stressed attending, very stressed residents, and sick, obnoxious patients were the standard. Which added together makes for a tough time as the intern. Every mistake that was made came down on my head. Which I'm used to, but the more patients I have, the more mistakes are made. And my census averaged 20 for the first 3 weeks of the month. Twenty notes to write, 20 patients to see and pander to. Great times.

Okay, rant over. December is now. I'm on the laparascopic service, which is better in so many ways. First of all, the surgeries are less involved, so patients usually go home earlier. Second, everyone's happier, so I get yelled at less. And I have time to work out again, which is great. Last month I turned to mush, and I'm still pretty much trying to dig my way out of my non-fitness hole.

It snowed here yesterday. By snow I mean the lightest dusting of frozen stuff, most of which has already melted today. It was nice though. Made it feel like home. And speaking of home, I'm headed there in 2 short weeks. I'm excited, but sad that Dennis cant come with. He has to work. He and Maddie will be here for Christmas. Last weekend we got a tree and decorated. I'll try to take pics when I have more energy.
