duty calls
by far i think i've quite successfully passed through my very first day as volunteer nurse in dr. jose m. rodriguez memorial hospital. with 30 patients as ward census, of which 14 are hansens (lepper pts) and majority of the entire population having severe conditions...yea i think i did pretty well.
but the unlucky part there is that, i haven't been used to feeling this tired for so long. the fatigue surely got into me after almost 10 months of bumming around. the waking up part (4 am) was already a pain in the ass. and the moment my shift started the only break periods i had the luxury of getting was two doses of an almost 5 minute pause at the station a quick lunch break. well at least i won't be shocked the following days, because i can never be more certain that the "party" is just starting. there's more to come. literally and figuratively.
but don't get me wrong because i am DEFINITELY not complaining. this is what i wanted. at least the bumming days are over. and i get to practice what i love and what i think i was born to do. in fact i'm pretty glad that the high is once more kicking in, and i am definitely luuurvven it. cheers to that. ♥
