Settling

I am lying on the floor as I write this. Moving has been stressful - the process of finding the perfect house, furnishing it - I don't think I'd want to go through it anytime soon. We've got the vital pieces of furniture in (and when I say vital, that means an aircond and ASTRO) and it is now livable but still far from being my ideal home.

Being a newbie threw me off for the first week. Getting accustomed to new wards and the clinic and having pass overs took much of my mental capabilities but now that that has passed, I am glad that my Ortho head has come back to me. I am still lost when managing and preparing cases for TKRs and ILNs but I think I will be alright.

I miss the good relationship that I had with my former boss. Back then I knew almost all of the cases even when they had their operations, I would memorise the OT list from two weeks ahead and sometimes acted as my boss's PA, reminding him about xray meetings and CMEs.

The house is great - it's in a nice area, clean and has a huge lawn. If the owner wasn't asking such a ridiculous price for it, I think we would be happy to make it permanent.

It may be too early to say, but I think I will be happy here.
