In O Hi Ya

I matched to Kettering Medical Center's transitional year, which is a sweet program, despite being in Ohio. Not that Ohio is a bad place; the people out here are super friendly, more than the west coast for sure. I'm starting with the easiest rotation of the year, so I barely work right now, just weekday mornings. I kind of wish I had this rotation later, when it would be a nice break between a couple strenuous months, but oh well. Each rotation lasts a month, and here's my schedule:

July: EKG, Stress Tests, & Echocardiograms
August: Medicine inpatient
September: Pulmonary ICU
October: Medicine inpatient
November: Ambulatory Clinic
December: Medicine inpatient
January: Aneshesia at some west coast hospital (maybe research)
February: Emergency medicine
March: Medicine inpatient
April: Mission Elective (Asia or New Zealand)
May: Medicine inpatient
June: unchosen elective

My new apartment is awesome. I have a 2 bedroom newly refinished apartment with a garage for $545 a month. Plus it's only 2/3rd's of a mile from work, so I can ride my bike in. It's also like right next to a nice,affordable golf course and a park that has some descent hills and trails for biking.

My broken leg is mostly heeled up. I still have some arthritis after sleeping, some swelling, and I can't forcefully plantar flex, so running is really difficult. I know the physical therapy I should be doing, but, alas, I don't do it.

I haven't written in a while, because I have a lot I should put down, but I'll wait until I get some photos to talk about my new pad and car.
