Still posting from my iPhone as my computer sits awaiting an attempt at repair. Still seeing a ton of ortho and neuro. Had a pt with a focal infarction only effecting his occulomotor nerve for his left eye as the result of CO poisoning. Reattached a partially amputated finger in office. Long stretches of the mundane punctuated by some cool shit. I seem be working late every night while my SP does not. If I don't have a question for her I may not even talk to her on a given day. I seem to be doing well though my 90 day review. I even bonused recently...a whole $10! Overall I am happy with the job. I realize there will be difficult or annoying people anywhere and that no place is truly perfect. I like being able to pay my bills and have some money left over. I like being mostly on my own at work.
My beautiful boy turns 5 soon and I am amazed at how great he is. I will mourn the day I am no longer cool in his eyes and have come to appreciate his constant requests to play light sabers or cars. Looking back I cannot remember my dad playing with me. I am working hard to make sure my son won't have the same non-memories when he is older.
PA school was so tough yet it seems like a distant memory now. How is it I can remember getting a string of cellophane-wrapped lollypops from the German couple who lived next door to us in Berlin when I was 2 so clearly, yet trying to recall any particular day in PA brings back only whirls and blurs? I wish I saw my classmates more. We went through it together and only they can relate to that experience and those I have now at work. Sometimes I wish life wasn't so much about moving on.
