It´s been a long time...
I finally found some time away from everything else (everything else meaning the hospital) to spend in front of my computer. I know today is Friday, but Rodrigo is on call tonight so I’m taking this opportunity to catch up with everything. I’ve already uploaded my holidays’ pics, spent some good time at Immy and just finished reading about 80 posts from my flist. Lj wouldn’t let me finish my update because it stopped showing the “previous 20” button - should I go to archive or memories to read older posts??? I’m happy everyone is well and I loved reading everyone’s news. After all this time I should have some of my own to give you…
I started at the hospital on Feb 1st, but I didn’t work during carnival - instead I’ll be on call during the entire holly week. I’m now at the infectious disease ward and I can’t describe how much I’m enjoying it. Even though we have some really sick kids there, everything seems to work - which is a miracle considering that I work in a public hospital.
The ward is kind of empty right now because we’re out of “chicken pox season”, but there’s still a lot to do. I’ve been busy with a one-year-old boy who’s been really, really sick for the last four weeks and I’m so involved with his story that I even cried this morning because of him. But it was a good cry, don’t worry. I’ve been in charge of him for the last two weeks but on these last days, when I was starting to loose my faith on his chances of beating his disease, he proved me wrong and started to recover last night. I was so happy so almost everyone saw me crying. My attendant came to me and explained how we can never loose our hope on a child as they can always surprise us when it comes to recovery. Now we’re already talking about discharging my little boy!!!
My carnival was relaxing. We went to Rodrigo’s parents on the countryside and it rained all the time. I ate, I slept, I read and that was all.
About the wedding plans… hmmm… No good news, there are. I’ve been telling my friends lately that until Feb 1st I believed I would adjust residency to my life, but since then I realized actually I’ll have to adjust my life to this residency. My initial plan for a open wedding on June was murdered by the fact that I won’t have my holidays next year during this time. Did I actually think I would be able to CHOOSE my holiday period???? Stupid intern! The other perhaps is that I won’t have time to plan a wedding working 70 hours a week AND living 1000km away from where it’s suppose to be hold. So all I’ll be able to do right now is have some patience and see how long Rodrigo will wait for me…
Now some fun news: I won a HP contest! And a national one, trés chic! Actually I didn’t win, I took 4th place but I still got prizes: a HP DVD box, a t-shirt, a bag and some bookmarks. The first prize was a trip to England to visit the HBP movie set. But why would I want that anyway? Sirius won’t be on that movie so why do I care? I’m happy with my bookmarks. Here’s the link so you can see my name - just click on the first “confira aqui os vencedores”. I’m so proud of me!!!
Oh dear, I guess I wrote enough! Hope it won’t be too long until I’m back again!
*hugs all*
