Yesterday I decided that it would be time to empty the suitcase. It only took me half a week to realize this, one I have been busy working, working out and being tired. In between there has been some reading in a coma-state of mind. But seeing it in the light that I have a workplace where working out is a second name after caretaking I need the time adapting. And not trying to overeat. Believe it or not, lifting, moving, putting clothes on, feeding, washing patients with a average age of 85 takes a lot of womenpower. Add then the struggle if the patient does not want to do all these things, but you still have to roll them around and change their diaper. Even though I like telling people the funny (and in their opinion repulsive) side of this work I love it. Because elderly patients really do need your help and they also have a right to live a worthly life in the end stages of life. And I admire my colleagues that have done this for so many years already. For me this is only the third summer.
Next summer I will get to work as a med-student already, following around the specialists. Feels weird, time flies! And even though I have learned a lot during this past year I do not feel ready for that quite yet. But hey, there is still another year of medschool before I get to do other stuff :)
Yesterday I got my adlibris book package (luckily for me they come with a bill and do not have to be paid straight away!) so now I can add another 4 books to my "to-read" bookcase.
Oh look at the time, soon off to work again (evening shift fortunately, I had three mornings in a row and as it is well known I actually am more of a night person and hate waking up early in the morning).
Soon some more updates.
