Pediatrics is over. I doubt I will end up doing pediatrics but it was an interesting rotation nonetheless. The childrens hospital was a fun place to work and the vast majority of the staff were great. For the brief switch weekend, I decided to head back out to West Texas. I figured that I better make it out there before surgery begins. A friend from the Lewisville assembly and one of their friends who comes to the Bible study also came out to West Texas. Both of them are from India and neither of them had really visited out west, so I think it was sort of an eye opener for them. I think they might have enjoyed the lake a bit more if they both knew how to swim. Visiting Lake Alan Henry on Saturday made me think more seriously about trying to get a residency in Lubbock. I will have to see how things pan out. It was fun to get a chance to see my nephews and neices too. They are fearless when it comes to the water. The pictures are of them hanging on to a trolly that zips out over a pond. It has about a 15-20 foot drop to the water.
Well surgery has finally arrived. The first two days haven't been too bad. It looks like most days I should get to the hospital by 4:15am and go home by 6-7pm. If I study for three hours a night, I should be able to get five hours of sleep. I think we get one day off a week. Next month, the schedule is a little tougher as we go on-call every third night. I have been told we get 24 hours in row off once a week.
