Amazing

Life is pretty amazing these days.

I've been able to walk home from school twice this week -- a terrific treat in January. And, I've walked 10 miles this week. Tomorrow should be warm so I might get closer to a summer-caliber walking score for the week.

Clincals are terrific.

I've been able to show off my skills with little ones in community health. My group sees some toddlers with asthma. It's not a lot of medical work, but it's a lot of relationship building and communication, both things I'm good at. Adding the medical stuff to something I'm already comfortable with is great.

My clinical at the hospital is really amazing. This week we saw a complex, interesting case with one of the sweetest sick people I've ever met. I felt more confident getting vitals and talking to the patient this time. We heard what the doctors had to say to the patient and we sat in on the floor's daily conference with nurses, doctors, social workers, pharmacists, etc... (Yeah, seriously, they meet and talk this all out! Who knew?!?)

I'm feeling really good. Life is busy, but getting into a decent swing. We've got our slow cooker bubbling away with some chicken for tacos. We're hanging out on Saturday with no major to-dos. Hope you're feeling good too!
