my rollercoaster life

Wow. Life really is a rollercoaster - ups and downs, twists and turns. One moment you are screaming your enjoyment, and the next moment you feel like you are just going to throw up! Everyone's life must feel like this, but I am really experienceing it lately. The first week of August sucked - leaving Regina, leaving Jurgen, starting fourth year, the talk with my program director. This last week was great! I love doing regional anesthesia adn it seemed like this was my week. On tuesday 3/4 of my regular cases were axillary blocks (and I was 3 for 3!). We were so fast we added on a case and we were still done before 4pm. Then on call with Dr. Dangor (who totally rocks!) and we did a supraclavicular block. Sure I was up all night (mostly dealing with Obs), but nothing awful happened and we had a great OR team. Then friday was a short day and included another axillary block (that also worked great!)!! If every week could be like this, I would sail through the next two years!
This weekend back in Regina. It is cold, but a nice break from work. Than back to the grind, but start the week off with another awesome staff person who is also a mentor to me. Mayb this week will be OK too. I think I just need to relax and take the Mentor's advice - "Fourth year can be fun, it is about trying out new things." Maybe she is right. I am going to try and take it all in, experience new things, and get all the answers to my stupid questions now.
Here goes nothing!
