A lovely ending...
Chris and Aura, being the wonderful, beautiful people they are - of the genre I should surround myself with more often - agreed to take me in for the days I'll be needing a room, save just one. Chris's parents will be here one of those days, and I was offered a mattress downstairs if I couldn't find anywhere else to stay. I'll stay with Mike that one night, he says it's fine, and that means that I'm all settled for my sojourn down here.
Plus, I went to the parking services garage today, prepared to have to buy a monthly pass for these two weeks since I'd lost my summer pass. I bought the annual pass and told him I'd lost my summer pass. He laughed and scolded me and gave me a free two-week temporary pass.
I have to go to the bookstore and pick up a book for ACLS class at the end of the month. I should buy Nelson's...or I could just order it online, which is what I did.

Chris heated up pork loin for dinner with me. Laura fed me a popsicle and some Triscuits. The cat came and napped with me while I waited for my headache to go away. I feel at home, welcome, comfortable. And the wireless router is set up and working nicely. Yay for that :)

Will probably not take Shain with me tomorrow, as I have only four hours between shifts that I could use him, and he is quite heavy, not to mention expensive. Will instead take an old-fashioned book.
Tomorrow: Urgent Care Clinic in morning and evening. Must remember to get a key from someone, if possible.

If you haven't already, pick up a copy of the AHA pocket book 2000 edition. It's invaluable for ACLS as well as PALS if you take it as well. It runs about 12 bucks. It's a much easier sourcebook to use than the textbook IMHO.

Will put it on my purchase list. I'm "required" to have the textbook for class, but I'm always looking for a better book than the required ones. Thanks.

The title is 2000 AHA Emergency Cardiac Care Guidelines. It's sized just right for a back pocket or a lab-coat pocket. It's perfect, at least until AHA changes everything again :)

Yeesh, I still remember the first time I took ACLS back in 1988. The class focus and methodology has shifted pretty dramatically in some ways since then, and for the better IMHO.

Love to you! I have a couple questions about some stuff, basically packing-related (I know that sounds stupid, but I get caught up in details sometimes) Should I write an e-mail later, or what? I can't wait for these next couple of weeks to be over. I miss you, and can't wait to come out.

I'm almost two years out from medical school, here in Indiana where I was born and grew up. I used to write poetry - still do, sometimes - but now I've taken to spilling my heart out in prose. I'm balancing family, expecting a new baby, and working as a second-year family medicine resident. I'd like to take you along for the ride.

My updates are erratic, dependent on my mood, my current work schedule, and my ability to motivate myself. You are warned.

Expect a narrative of my days on shift. Anticipate good experiences and bad. Almost everything I write, personal or not, is a public entry, so be prepared for things that you don't quite understand.

There is a list of those who really do want to know more about me than the general public desires to see. Flip down to "spin a web" and click the link there to get in on that list.
