I see my orthopedic surgeon tomorrow afternoon. His secretary initially wanted me to come in at 10 am, but I have clinical in the morning. I take what is going on with my leg really seriously, but I can't miss school, especially not clinical, where my new skills come into practice. Nursing is not the same as my university degree. I could afford to miss the odd history lecture because I could make up the work on my own. This doesn't work when you have to practice musculoskeletal assessments or how to take vital signs. So I will see my surgeon at 3pm instead. Seeing him doesn't mean I am having surgery. He is just the next best person to see while my infectious disease specialist is out of town. The surgeon and ID specialist communicate a lot, so I have no worries in seeing him instead of her. Also, he did a really good job on my leg (not his fault that something is going on now).
For now I am having a drink and studying some anatomy before bed. I hardly ever drink, but after this week I think I deserve (and need) some stress relief.
Excited for tomorrow morning. Not so much for tomorrow afternoon...
