Pull up a stump and read along. It's a new adventure but I'm still the same.....

Dropping In..or Dropping Off

OMG what a week! I feel like I could sleep for the next 48 hours. My first block of shifts on the ward have been flat out, full on but great. No one has died (trust me that's always a bonus!) and I felt like I'm on top of things....until today and it all came tumbling down around me....or really not just me but the whole ward. Arrests, bleeds, assults, prison guards and cops....I was literally walking around all day with my jaw on the ground...so much so Anita (another Grad) said to me 'Holy crap what about your shift today!' All I could do was manage a smile and think to myself I can't wait to get home and have a relaxing beer in the spa!

Ok so get home, Alastair's leg looks like it's about to explode. After a waiting for over an hour in the waiting room of a Dr's surgery this pretentious receptionist finally allocates us a Dr and we get what we came for....kick ass antibiotics and pain relief...not what I expected to come home to after my day. Poor Alastair though is not a happy camper after a touch footy injury gone bad.

So...I'm day 4 of 5 with only tomorrow to go and then I've got three days off ya-ay! I'm off to a girl who I play netball with housewarming party and then who knows what they city lights hold for the remainder of my night! Wishing everyone a rip snorter of a weekend. Be safe, have fun.

Mwah.
