Four more to go
Categories : Family, Obstetrics, Personal |
Another busy day at work today. I only did 3 days work this week but I’m still well and truly ready for the weekend. Having two difficult deliveries in the last 24 hours has probably added to my fatigue. Not that I feel bad though - saving a couple of newborn lives is always a good thing, and in both cases I was able to make the decisive contribution. Many times when the birth is straightforward it feels like I don’t contribute much (particularly if the midwife calls me after the baby has been born) but it’s times like these that I’m reminded that my role as the doctor is valuable and necessary.
Nevertheless, the weekend is most welcome, although perhaps not super restful… This afternoon I have to pick the boys up, sign up Owen for soccer this year and then go to the Fun Fact’ry. Then we are going out as a family for dinner to celebrate Jennifer’s birthday. We’ll probably go on some kind of family excursion tomorrow (? the zoo) and then maybe just the two of us go out tomorrow night if we can get a babysitter. Church on Sunday I’m playing guitar both services (acoustic this time - I usually play lead but it’s nice to have a change on occaision…) and then off to lunch with my family.
Now that I look at it, the weekend doesn’t look all that restful at all - but hopefully should be enjoyable. Just gotta get through the next four patients without any major dramas…
