I'm beginning to get that feeling... I mean, I'm not scared to go into Grandma's room. Well I've always been. But no more than usual. But like I was in the bathroom and for a second I thought, what if Grandma was behind the curtain waiting to shampoo my hair. Then OMG... Last night... I was lying in bed, there's a shaft of light that was above my closet. For some reason I was thinking it was Grandma laying up there, looking down at me... In a scary sense. I tired to find my remote control to turn on some sort of light and let it go away. I could see where it was, but I was paralyzed. I mean, I honestly don't think there is any reason for Grandma to go haunting anyone, especially me... So why am I feeling this way? Guilt? I have no regrets in terms of time spent with her. Then we did all sorts of stuff today. Stopped by... as I now call Grandmama's. Even thought Grandpa is there as well. If I had been alone, I so would have cried. I almost did.
Anyway, finally got a new washer. Front loading, therefore no need for an agitator. Thank God. Said no need for bleach either. Hope not. I got a bleach pen. Washed my stuff (old drier still). Dirt still there. Now it's just covered with the bleach pen markings... Almost got an AC, but it would require us to remove the glass part of the window or bust a hole in the wall. Dad said never mind. :(
Oh yeah, Dad's going to the Philippines for 6 months. I know Dad's been in NH for years, but... I'm actually scared. I have to take care of the bills. I mean, Mom's not gonna. Seriously, she needs like a secretary. Then mom's gonna drive me in the morning, cause she'll get home before it's her time to go to work. Dunno about when I'm post call.
Nothing else I guess...
Current / Mood: awake. / Song: Wonderful! Wonderful!. / Book: Pheochromocytomas.
So we got a new washing machine. Only that. No drier. Washed my whites... Still not white. I think I'll just need to buy a new white coat and start from scratch. Don't know if it's cleaner. I just know it's not white... Got to test it on my other clothes to see if it can get the caked deodorant out... EW!!!
So I called Aileen. She's in Wycoff. That's in Queens somewhere... Says everyone is there. Siri, Wynn. Says I should try to do an elective there. Also a lot of Flips. Residents, docs. Paredes, the mother asked about me. She also asked how John was. Apparently he and Siri are dating and she's complaining he has no time for her. First off... Are you serious!?! Siri and John!?! Anyway, I said he's the one Reese screams at. She's like really? He's smart. I was proud of him yesterday though cause he popped in an IV and didn't immediately give up when doing a blood draw. Go him! I was gonna ask him about Aileen / Siri, but he seemed to be ignoring me... Didn't get a time to chat while eating. Did he eat???
Only chat I remember while eating was I made everyone crack up. Lol. Dr. Rahman tried to pull a Reese on me, trying to make it seem like I didn't examine my patient. BTW, this is a patient with urinary retention and penile problems... Suddenly he was circumcised. Actually he had paraphemosis, as in his foreskin was stuck up or something... Excuse my ignorance. I'm clueless about the male genitalia. He's like describe it. I'm like the penis head is dry. Everyone cracks up! Mustn't have been loud cause I had no clue I was as amusing as I was till chatting at dinner. Lol. Then Erik laid one! Lol. Now that's funny. Anyway, he's like use medical terms... Uh... He was the one who had to tell me Glans penis. Then some part was erythematous and edematous. Which part??? EW!!! Then everyday if not... I have to pull down his foreskin. EW!!! Hm... He did say longer than 3 days... So I can do it just ever 3rd day... Lol. Seriously, I have to read up. Ew!!! OMG! Then the way he pulled it over. I mean, I'm not a guy, but that looked painful! God... The idea of me having to touch a penis is grossing me out! Haha... Medical school is corrupting me!
Anyway, so I was on call. Pretty bored. Tried to help John as much as possible till I fell asleep sitting down. That was uncomfortable. At one point Vanessa woke me up cause Prescott showed up. Joe made a little bed in the conference room. Good idea... Anyway, I was still tired today and slept till 5.
Oh yeah... Dinner convo. So Joe thinks Mr. Hosier is gay. No way! No Dominican is gay! Vanessa was like they're just closeted. To which someone says Ian Winston was very gay. WHAT!?! No way!?! He's just British. Lol. *sigh*
