I was going to journal about my first day in the OR, as it was pretty much a non stop day! I am seriously still on an adrenaline rush and tried to relax without much luck. Then spent a bit chatting with my neighbor who is an RN in the OR I am doing my clinicals at. Now, I need to try and sleep at least lie there and pretend to until my body and mind have to give in. And hope tomorrow brings another good day.
Ran across this quote and liked it...
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind ~Rudyard Kipling
Just finished taking a nice, long hot bath! Felt wonderful as I was soaking away. Just trying to relax my mind since I start at the hospital tomorrow and I am a little anxious about it. I am sure things will be fine, but I do worry about my foot and to try and be careful since I will be on my feet for 8 hours where now I have mostly tried to stay off of it. So, that is weighing on my mind, just a little.
I had my Dr. appointment this morning and my foot is still broken, but it is 75% healed and should be 100% in 2 weeks! He did release me to start my clinical rotation at the hospital next week. So I will only have 2 days to make up which is not too bad! Tonight, I am thinking a little drinky drinky to celebrate!!!
Considering the lack of sleep I had last night due to my brain keeping me awake, I managed to pull off a B on my final. The mistakes I made were silly ones that I knew better on. So I don't know if I just read the question wrong/too quickly or over studied and had test stress. Anyway a new semester starts tomorrow. And one week til my doc appt. ugh!
School week is done, had lunch with my friend Julie at a local brewpub and picked up a growler to drink this evening. After yesterdays downward spiral.....I need it! I have been going on cam lately a bit and catching up with some friends I have not chatted with and made some new ones. Was on for a bit tonight and it was nice. Hope tomorrow is another good day for me. I could use 2 in a row, but I feel my emotions wanting to go to work on me.
Hopefully I can make today at least as productive as yesterday. Class in the a.m., came home and did some cleaning and laundry and studied and made 3 loaves of banana bread. More studying. I ended up crashing early, only to find myself back up about 12:30. Now back up at 4:45. Yikes! Tomorrow is my big skills test for the semester. I am not nervous now, but think that will crescendo as the day moves forward and I am practicing this eve. 20 days til I find out my fate from the doc and if I have to drop out of school. Also, less than 30 days til my b-day! ack!

I hope you do well with your studying as I hate seeing anyone drop out. Good luck with it all.
I would not be dropping by choice, trust me. I fractured my foot and need a release from the doc before I can do clinicals. Personally, I would do them on the fracture...lol
best wishes.
