squeefulfishI took out the uniform tunic to see just how much of a summer puddin' I've become since being off the feet. There's a €200 incentive to lose weight right there. Uniforms with embroidered crests = spendy. Very annoying as I'm eating way less than usual. Terrified of getting on the scales, have a suspicion I've put on everything I lost last time. Buggrit.
I'm particularly not looking forward to the first two weeks back in placement, it's gynae, so a lot of hysterectomies, myomectomies, D+Cs, a lot of pre and post surgical cases. Ye gods, but I've seen some scarily big fibroids, a non-pregnant uterus should not be bigger than my head! This is a case where placements have worked in my favour, the two weeks in theatre have prepared me somewhat for the things I'll see there, though the pregnancy losses are never easy. For anyone. Have had a shufty at the placement rosters, unfortunately there's no-one I can swap with. Sure, I have to do it, just would prefer for it not to be the first placement of the year, ya know... Still, worse is the figuring out how the hell I'm going to get out to Cherry Orchard for my mental health placement. Erky erk erk. The transport challenges are thankfully the worst aspect of the course. Hooray for me being super clever and taking things in easily. That said, I work bloody hard.
Finally got round to doing some filing on Melchior who had articles all over the place on him, poor baby machine. Shall have to do the same on George later, but that should be easy enough. Mostly because I'm less likely to use George at 0500 and am more likely to put things where I can find them again.
I'm toying with the idea of buying another anatomy and physiology book. The newest one I have has far more of a nursing slant to it (useful for Martha anyway, my little psych nurse to be) and I think I like having a paper guide to adaptation in pregnancy. Have already ordered the RCM breastfeeding book for my lactation module next year. Also cos boobies are great and I'm turning into quite the little lactivist.
And I still haven't a clue what I want to do my dissertation on! Arg! Apparently I'd be over-stretching myself on some of the ideas I had and they'd be more suited as PhD proposals. Shite. But also, quite the compliment. Even if it leaves me stuck at the minute. Halp!
Just got a mail from my sociology lecturer. "Dear Third year Midwives." We're getting all growed up. Nearly there. September 13th 2010, who wants to join me in setting fire to the student uniform and drinking mead? Don't say I don't give enough notice.
