And I HATE the last couple days before taking off--so crazy and hectic and things to do!
But I have good news--I didn't talk about this earlier because I wanted to wait and see what would happen: in order to graduate I had to have 3 continuities of care, ie. 3 patients I follow through their pregnancy, labour, delivery, and post-partum period. Sounds like a tall order to complete in 7 weeks, right?
My preceptor, Vicki, referred to it as a 'miracle'.
But I have in fact completed all 3 continuities of care--plus a fourth, just for shits and giggles. (Who came up with that? It's so rude.)
Here's the third continuity of care with my Mum yesterday. He was a cutie--but so much like an alien. I called him ET.
GAH! I'm just sitting here waiting for the picture to load and I can't sit STILL because there's too much to do and I'm leaving in 2 DAYS!
So, gotta run. I don't know if I'll post again before I go. But be assured I will again once I get to Malawi.
Hey friends--why didn't you all tell me I was crazy to do a back-to-back missions trip? This would have been an appropriate opportunity to intervene and say something. Sheesh. Thanks a lot.
