Today is moving day part A
Believe it or not, I have a life away from the hospital.
The most awesome boyfriend in the world and I have bought a house together.
I know....we have only JUST moved in together. I know....we have have ONLY been dating for just over a year.
My response? So what! Does it matter? As long as it feels good, we support, love and accept each other, what does time matter?
The house by the way is awesome.
So jungly, liveable, peaceful and earthy. We will have chooks, solar power, water tanks and a vege garden. We have a easy going friend and colleague moving into the flat downstairs and life will be good. Full of positive karma fresh food and love.
What more could one ask for.
Tonight we will have drinks and food on the deck of our yet unfurnished housed with some UTARD friends my daughter and Rizzo's son.
Feel free to drop by for bubbles if you wish. BYO fro drinks and BBQ.
Peace and Love.

The Jungle
I am fighting with Gorillas.....and I'm tired.
What to do?
Take some wisdom and advice from a good friend and fellow blogger.

The Gorilla rule. Don't Give up.
"Success is a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired."
So I guess I just keep going....after I get some sleep!

Chapter 2 - Ortho(awful)peadics
The first day of my new rotation....Orthopeadics. An elective (meaning it was my choice....yeah right!?) 12 weeks of it and so far so good.
It's interesting that the very registrars I fought with to get patients admitted to their service when I was in ED and it was going to create them work, are now so nice to me that I am on their team and will DO their work!
It seems a lot less stressful than ED in that, there is a finite number of patients. There are patients on the ward, in fracture clinic, pre-admission clinic and "on the board" - awaiting emergency surgery. The numbers vary a little day by day, however clinics come to an end and eventually there is no-one there.
In ED, they never stop coming, and neither does the pressure.
So today another new learning curve begins.
I know very little about orthopaedics and bones in general. In fact as in intern I know a little bit about nothing in medicine and surgery in general!
What the hell do they teach us in medical school??!!
Anyway I muddled through the first day with much thanks to the very patient clinic nurses, until a family medical problem took me home early.
A problem that weighs heavily on my heart tonight.
It is sooooo much easier to be a doctor and sort things out for people you don't know and infinitely more difficult and emotionally exhausting to want to fix the problems of family and friends.
