great May

I know May is not over, but this has so far been a really good month. I have had some of my most meaningful compliments (ie. staff saying I am "stellar", and recovery room nurses telling me that they would let me give them an anesthetic!!). I have done some really interesting cases, some hard cases, and have not been overly stressed about it. Sure, May started off terrible (two deaths my first day back), but it has gotten brighter and brighter. Jurgen comes tomorrow for a whole week! I only have one more call left, and then off to Regina for the summer (June, July). Not to mention that in July I will officially be a fifth-year, a FINAL year resident!!! Then the count down is really on!
Not only has May been great for work (which is essentially my life), but other stuff too. I ran my first 10km on Monday!! I have been working up to that for awhile and was planning to run the 10km at the end of the month. I needed to know that I could do it. And now I know I can! Maybe by the time September comes around I will be able to do 15 or more. I am running with the "Marathongers". They are the female Anesthesiologists in Regina. No, we aren't really planning to where pink thongs, but we will all have matching pink shirts and jackets!! Should be fun. If you are bored May 27th, or in September, come cheer me on!!
