Back to work

I'm back to work today after being on vacation for the last week.  I'm glad to be back. Only here can I forget about problems and heartaches and just engulf myself in the lives of other people's medical lives.  My regular partner is on an extended vacation to work on harvest so I've been getting random partners every day.  This will be a good week.  I am working with 2 people that I really like today and the medic whom I most want to be like tomorrow.  It's been a pretty nice day.  Got to run a diabetic call.  I think those calls are fun. You get to see the patient improve almost immediately. 

I couldn't seem to eat until just a few minutes ago.  My worries were getting the best of me.  I am feeling much better now that I've gotten back into the groove. I also got to see my daughter, which helps.  I like days that we are both working and I get to run into her at work.  Just heard the first heat exposure call of the day come out.  I bet we will see a lot of that this week.  I made sure we were stocked up on iv fluids and ice packs. 

I thought of something odd the other day.  There are certain things that I say to patients that make it almost impossible not to break out in song.  When I'm assessing their level of consciousness, I commonly ask "you know where you are?" In my head, I always hear "you're in the jungle baby....you're gonna dieee...". 

There was more...but it's going to have to wait for another day.  I can't concentrate on this right now.  I will be back though!
