Aaaaaaaahsss.

that's how i feel. i've been sick with snotty nose, sore throat, big cough, headache. i slept for something like 16 hours today and still not feeling so hot. blah. you know that feeling where you want to spike one of those maple syrup collector-things into your sinuses and hang a bucket off of it to finally be rid of all the snot? that's how i feel. just drain me. and here i was feeling all cocky that i got through peds without catching any bugs. they were just collecting, joining forces for a full invasion. argh.

but i started my rotation this week and i think it will be good. a few weeks with the PA service doing admissions (histories and physicals), then a few wks w/ an MD following patients in the hospital and at his clinic. then a week of rapid response night call. which is perfect timing- because after that i'll go into a month of ER.

so i've been trying to brush up on ekg's in my haze. they no longer are going to allow me to be the amazing ekg-less PA student- evidently how the heart is working is sort of an important thing to examine. go figure.

i'll write more soon when i can breathe/focus my eyes/don't have 10 tons of snot welling up behind my eyes and pushing my brain out through my nose. plop.

how's that for graphic?
