Survivors!

YESSSS!! we survived the first week of surgery! OH MY GOD!! i feel that sense of achievement running through my veins at this very moment. definitely. =)

i only had 3.5 hours of sleep last night. and trust me, i am mentally and physically exhausted and drained that i have a terrible headache now (i think i have cluster headache and maybe tension headache too lol) and that i wish i could just sink into my comfy bed right at this very moment. but of course, i am at the airport right now, waiting to go home! and get all the princess treatment and spa and massage from mum back home =D

i had so much of homework to do last night and was so terrified and nervous about whether or not i would have another panic CP session today so i had to make sure i had my homework done. and there was tbl today! and we had no case to present! but thank god for fen's case =) and there's this whole looooong chapter on testicular/scrotal and inguinal swelling that i have to read off from burkitt's today. sigh!! and i woke up being really grumpy and groggy.. GRRR!

and today!! today was really interesting. again, the patients are the ones that make our day a little more worthwhile and fulfilling. they make me believe that i actually really do enjoy and love doing medicine. and that they're the reason why i'm doing this.

my patient from monday got discharged today and i am feeling so ecstatic for him. he was really sick for the past 3 days and was in so much of pain, depressed and down. and i feel really terrible because all i could do is just to talk to him and try to convince him that everything will be alright. and so after his operation yesterday, he is finally a free man now! =D i have never seen him smile so widely before. and i am really happy. TRULY.

my other patient from monday was admitted again last night. but doc says he could be discharged today too. and we were just talking about everything under the sun, from his girlfriend to his work. and i really enjoyed it. COMPLETELY =)

and oh oh! i saw how the HO set up the central venous pressure (CVP) today! it was tedious! you gotta have the skills! =S and that HO who managed to do it is officially my idol now =DD

loved today. maybe i'm actually starting to like surgery. i think i just might. =)

flight's here! home sweet home!
