Happy bunny!

Where do I start?

These past few weeks have been very interesting for me. So little time...and I've got several plates to spin at once. Not that I'm complaining, I'm having the time of my life. :)

My mornings have been getting brighter and more cheerful by the day, thanks to someone. *hugs*. What a wonderful way to start a day...to hear such loving voice wishing me good morning. Just as nice as it to have that luxury, for that voice to be the last thing I hear everynight before I'm off to the Lala Land. Hmmm...I'm gonna move to the next subject now...before anyone turns green :p

My elective project. I was practically sick with fear with the thought of facing my supervisor without anything to show him, apart from some pathetic 3 pages of introduction that I have attempted in 2 days. So, on Monday, when I went to his ward...crossing every fingers that I have, hoping he won't scold me too much, I put on the sweetest face I can manage (hehe...it's not that hard when you're practically overflowed with happiness :p), a really big smile...then said hi to him.

Me: Hi Mr. C!! How are you? I'm back!!!

Mr. C: Oh hi!!! So you're back?...

Me: Yes...just got here last nite. And a bit jetlagged...(hoping he'll get the hint..that I'm very tired and still not settled yet :p)

Mr.C: OK. I'm gonna be at the theatre this morning, so I'll meet you in theatre 11 in 10 minutes, we'll catch up on your progress there

Me: Errr...yah...sure (still bright eyes..n a big smile...n sweet eager face on me)

Isk..isk...go to theatre? not that I don't like going there, I love being in the operation theatre... with all the intruments...the greens...how they try to be as sterile as possible...dunno..I just like the feeling being there..(well..I am still student...dunno how I would feel if I'm the surgeon tho :p) But that morning? I wasnt prepared..I had very little bfast..barely..just a small toast, and half cup of tea. And I had an experience of almost fainting once in the operating table when I was assisting a hysterectomy...not a pleasant experienc at all...and to make it worse, I got 'scolded' by the gynaecologist for not having breakfast before going to theatre. So, from there, I always make sure I have a big breakfast before putting on the greens.

Hm...I was too anxious about my project to tell him I haven't had my breakfast yet...although I know I should have...he's a very nice surgeon anyway. Well..to cut the story short, I ended up being on my feet, assisting him in putting some plates and screws in someone's leg. This someone had been drunk the night before and jumped off a wall :p and ended up with multiple fractures of the leg (ankle+tibia+fibula). That operation took about 4++ hours...I was sweating like a pig....I was in the greens+X-ray 'shield' (cos putting the plates, need X-ray guidance)+the operating gowns which was XL size when I'm suppose to have S size + a face mask and double glove...isk...no wonder I was literally dripping with sweat..and dunno what happen to the ventilation of that theatre...it was flipping hot and stuffy in there.

Funny enough..I had a great day...altho I was bored to my pants...the surgery was interesting enough...but I was too hungry to care...my tummy was rumbling like mad..luckily the sound of the drilling machine covered that very well...plus, I was sleepy and tired, just got about 4 hours sleep the night before. So...I took a desperate action, to avoid myself from falling asleep (I dozed off for a few seconds, while standing up, holding the patient's feet..hehehe..I was impressed with myself for being able to keep the feet steady while dozing off..:p shudn't have done that..I know...)...I hummed to myself...hehe..when everyone else is so absorbed in their own work...I hummed a happy song to myself.....thanks to the drilling machine again, nobody noticed I was singing and humming a current favourite of mine, a Korean song.... by Jjang Nara called Sweet Dream...such a happy song, brings me to live everytime. Well, it worked!! I survived the whole 4++ hours...and get to talk to my supervisor..and he didn't scold me...he did give me some reminders though..he's so helpful and sweet. If only all surgeons are like him...hehe...

So, I got a happy start of the day, got to talk with my dearest, a smooth day with my supervisor...and lucky me...it lasted the whole day!!!

Need to do work now :p

Lalalala!!! I don't care! I'm a happy bunny!
