Swinging back into things...

I am sorry to inform you that we don't have pictures to post at this time. The reason being -- we've been working pretty hard. We just finished week #2 of fellowship. I can report that we BOTH feel like we did at the beginning of Internship: overwhelmed!!! A new hospital, a new role ... it all adds up. There is also that stress of IM Board Exams next month coming up. :)

Justin started his fellowship on Endoscopy Service. So he finally is just doing one procedure after another. He has official pictures of his first colonoscopy/EGD on his own. I think we may frame them. :) Overall he is doing very well with the stres and, I think, loving every minute of it.

I was initally supposed to start on Anesthesia but now have been doing general Pulmonary Service. The attendings are great. Luckily we have a lot of help this month: 2 interns (actually quite on top of things), a PA (Susan) and a 2nd year Pulm fellow (Rich). So it's a nice way to eaaasseee into things. I have done a few procedures: bronchoscopy and thoracentesis but it's still slow going with that.

We're getting the condo together. There are projects starting to add up but for the most part things are off the floor, put away, and nailed to the wall. :) We finished our furniture gathering recently. Again, Salvation Army came through for us on some things (large mirrors to be exact). We're doing great.

We've met all our immediate neighbors and some down the street. Evening walks on weekends with Ginger give us a chance to explore the complex. It's beautiful with pristine landscaping. A very nice place to call home for now.

Take care everybody and we'll post pictures when we can. I couldn't help but post this one --->
