I rang in the New Year in a very low-key way. I stuck to reading, relaxing, writing resolutions, and catching up on correspondence. 2009 is off to a great start- peace of mind and restfulness abound.
On Monday and Tuesday of this past week I had a Christmas wish come true as I followed my dad around Kootenai Medical Center. I saw some very fascinating surgeries up close and personal. Lots of variety and lots of interesting stuff- if it weren't for all the HIPAA paperwork I had to sign before getting my visitor's badge, I'd be a bit more detailed about all of the cool sights, sounds, and smells. Suffice it to say, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to shadow such an admired and skilled surgeon. Watching him in action gives me even more motivation to hit the ground running in the next block of medical school: Head and Neck.
Before I return to Houston on January 4th, I look forward to:
- eating more of mom's delicious home cooking (despite my New Year's resolutions)
- getting my final fix of snow, which flourishes here in excess
- reading for pleasure as much as I am able before really hitting the (text)books
- enjoying a bit more time with the family- and maybe a board game or two
- posting another picture or two on the blog- I haven't really captured the enormity of the snow situation
