rerouted.

so, i went in to the hospital this morning to start a new rotation. can i just say, i hate first days. hate 'em. it's like starting a new job every month. blech. anyway, i get there and the med ed lady has me scheduled to do OB, which is not what i was planning to do but is probably wiser in the end. so instead of having fun intubating people and starting spinals and stuff, i'm sitting around waiting. and waiting. and waiting. for babies to be born. and it takes so long.

i'd like to point out that the correct spelling of the former car's name is "anne marie" - you know... with an E. though, stacy, i do enjoy "anne ma-rio" as well.

and the new car - named after my roommate at the rehab facility. her name was sylvia. and she had a brain injury. just like me. except she really did have a brain injury and she really did need a bib with her dinner. minor differences, i know.

i also wanted you to know that my new car has a second name. kinda like my bologna. but not. her second name is joy. after the rehab facility itself (marianjoy). sylvia joy. kinda cute, huh? i'm not sure why the place gained the distinction of having my car named after it. it started as kind of a joke, but i think it's stuck. oh well. she's still cute. as a button.

meet sylvia.

she's a 2001 ford focus. and she's name after my roommate with the brain injury at the rehab facility (i'll tell you about it one day... WORST 3 days of my life, i think...). i'll show you more pictures of her later, k?

guess who has regained (almost) full use of all ten fingers again!! ha! it's so nice! the pins are still in, but my ortho surgeon said that if i move my hand before taking the pins out, it'll hurt less. we'll see about that. anyway, typing is MUCH easier, and for that... you get an update. :-)

i should've given you this earlier - but check this out. weird, huh? i found his site on a google search looking for some school info last summer.

******

so, i spent the last two weeks in a pathology laboratory. now, before you get all excited and think i was helping out with something really interesting like autopsies or something, settle down. i sat in an office by myself all day looking at microscopic diseases. the exact antithesis of exciting.

******

so now, i'm on 2 more weeks of vacation, but will not get the pins out of my toe until at least three weeks from now. hopefully the removal of the pins will not cause too much set back in my ability to ambulate.
