being a PAID certified PA is way better!!
best. day. ever.
i was told last monday at orientation that i wouldn't get paid until next week. but THEN THIS MORNING one of my fellow certified and paid PA's mentioned that tomorrow was pay day. my little heart skipped a little beat, but i dared not hope. and then i got home tonight and TRA-LA, there was the most lovely bit in my mailbox! so i tossed my dog in the car (she weighs 65 pounds, so "toss" might be a bit aggressive a word...perhaps "coaxed" or "requested" is better) and we hightailed it to the bank to deposit it into my anemic bank account.
it felt great. it's been such a long time since i've brought in money that wasn't acquired by gift, loan, or bank robbery.
and i had a great day at work. i did a vaginal hysterectomy and a rectocele/ cystocele repair (pouch from bladder and rectum into vagina- happens often in older ladies who have had a bunch of kids, caused incontinence, difficulty going to the bathroom, etc) with an Ob/Gyn and a uro-surgeon. fun, fun, fun.
things are going really well. i'm catching on slowly, slowly. and it's tons of fun. they hooked me up with a really nice, patient mentor- so i'm learning a lot from her. we'll call her "McAwesome." a patient's wife asked me yesterday how similar working in surgery is to "grey's anatomy." she looked really hopeful, so i told her that i had to remember to get my underwear from the call room where i'd left them after my earlier shtup and then i excused myself to go check on the bomb in a patient down the hall. :) i think she was sorry she asked.
and mcawesome is really into healthy eating and fitness, so we've been talking about that a lot. this week i've been eating pretty well and have lost a few BMI points (my wii fit is keeping close track of this for me- it actually beams your weight from the balance board on the floor to the TV- no wires or anything. i think it's a miracle or sorcery. leaning toward sorcery).
so all in all, i'm feeling good and enjoying my new gig at MBH.

that's hilarious, love your remark to the wife!
i think my grandma needs that surgery but she's so old (77) that they don't want to do it on her. they just gave her this thing to wear. that's cool that you got to do that.
(pouch from bladder and rectum into vagina- happens often in older ladies who have had a bunch of kids, caused incontinence, difficulty going to the bathroom, etc) do me next!
