Update


So, we're sort of behind the times. The Honda Fit is pretty much fixed... and we're still waiting for the insurance to refund us our deductable! Anyway, that was time consuming and a real pain.

In other news -- I'd like to announce that I've done over 100 cases! That means I've provided anesthesia for over 100 procedures/surgeries.

My current stats are: 119 cases, 293 hours in the OR..
(that picture is an anesthesia machine)

Sweet. I still like it. It still gets scary and stressful sometimes, but I think it'll probably always be that way.

I'm waiting to find out my next assigned rotation... but rumor has it that my next rotation will be cardiac... you know, hearts & stuff. Anyway! At the end of May I'll be 1/3 done! Hurray. I can't wait for life without school.

In other news, craziest thing advertised on MSN, here's the surveillance video of a guy stuck in an elevator for 40+ hours. I'd go crazy. Seriously. Especially if I didn't have any concept of time, like without a watch? Yeah, crazy. http://www.newyorker.com/online/video/2008/04/21/080421_elevators

Crash! :(



It was inevitable that this would happen some time with the thousands of cars and hundreds of short stops on the freeways in California: We finally got in an accident. It was a 4 car pile up and we were car #2. We got hit pretty hard by an SUV but it looks like the fit may survive. We haven't had the insurance look at it yet, but it still drives fine. Luckily no one was hurt and everyone had insurance. (we still finished our date and had a nice dinner out!)

The white car shown was at fault and luckily he got the worst of it!

Newport Beach for Easter Sunday!

We enjoyed a peaceful Easter Sunday with Joe & Jamie (& Fam) at Newport Beach today and we all got plenty of sunshine. It was about 83 degrees out! Our favorite thing was when little Joe was checking out the waves and overcoming his fears of them, he finally dared to get in the water and said "it's not so bad!" Then one really came in hard and soaked him, but he screamed loudly "ITS NOT SO BAAAAD!"
