So the reason I haven’t blogged much of any substance lately is because healthwise, I seem to be regressing from late post-op complications. At first, I was taking good strides forward and hit a setback here and there, which is to be expected. Now, 5 weeks post-op, I’m facing some issues that I thought […]
So, as promised, here is how all my medical melodrama began. I warn in advance this will be long and in several parts, but I do think it makes for interesting reading. I’ve tried to really highlight the whole “medical-person-as-patient” experience because while I’ve had this or that done or tested since starting medical school, […]
I’m back!! I missed blogging tremendously with so many times thinking in my head, “Oh, I gotta write/share that!” but I made a commitment to let things settle down to a dull roar before I started posting again, not wanting to have this start/stop bad mojo on the blog. Thankfully, I think I’m finally at […]
Hello…thanks for still checking in! It seems odd to have a post entitled “Hiatus” when I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks, but I felt at least y’all deserved to know that it will still be a bit before anything really moves on here. Things have not been settling easily, though. Every significant […]
Happy New Year!! I missed you all! I’m writing this in a Best Western in Monterrey, Mexico–a small overnight stopover on our way back to Guadalajara. I know in my last post that I said I’d write with a big update of school and all, but honestly, I never could get it together […]
Sorry to all about working things up to a frenzy and not posting an update. It’s not because I was too busy or certainly that nothing was happening day-to-day. I thought it best not to exacerbate a potentially volatile situation with my school by lying low and reporting what happened after-the-fact. We […]
Thanks to all who showed up last night for the live broadcast! Dr.A. would have to confirm this for sure, but I think that the chatroom peaked to its highest number so far for the show…that’s awesome! For those that didn’t get to tune in, the archive is #18 and is available at Dr.A.’s […]
OK, so I said in part one that I’d post this entry “tomorrow,” but as usual, things got in the way. I also mentioned that I had some bad news that I’d save for the end for the end of the post, but I never got to it. Well, here it is: I have […]
Thanks to all who wished me a Happy Birthday on Monday via email, Facebook, telephone and telepathy. I really appreciate it. In the future, though, if any of you want to band together to get me a gift basket–not just limited to my birthday–the picture below is a nice example of a proper “man’s […]
The good news first: I’m writing from my new home! I’d never have thought of penning a blog post until I was at least on the flip-side of the move–regardless of how un-unpacked we are–so this very fact is already a good sign. The bad news, well, I’ll save that for the end.
