My Poor Car

Got hit on the way out of my parking lot this afternoon. Figures, I get to leave "early" at 5:30. And BAM! I get hit.

Oct 25: 11th and back
Oct 26: 11th and back

Guess I'll have to get the new phone tomorrow...

A Little Slower

Breathing felt tight this morning on my run. Sound a little wheezy to myself all day. May be time for another prednisone boost.

Oct 24: Prospect Park 1 mile

I did manage to be productive today - caught up on all my tumor board notes from the past and organized the ones of the future. Too bad I've now got tweedles on at night...

And The Leaves They Are A Changin'

It's definitely fall. Today's run at 11 am ~ only 50 degrees. I'm pretty sure there was snow in Montana at this time last year, so I guess I have no right to complain.

Oct 21: Around the Block
Oct 22: Up to 11th and Back
Oct 23: Prospect Park 1 mile

Second to last weekend call before vacation. God, I can't wait! Gotta plan it still, and gotta catch up on everything I've procrastinated until now!

A Good OR Week?

Who knows. So far, everything's been pretty damn good. Today had 3 cases, 2 majors, one of which was emergent. I'm feeling much better about the OR again.

Oct 20: Up to 11th and back

Now I have to dictate all these cases I've done this week. :)

Another Day

...closer to vacation.

Tana goes on vacation as of tonight, so I'm the lone clinical fellow. Which selfishly, I'm happy to be alone. It means I get the cases, I get the experiences, and I get to run the service my way.

Oct 19: Prospect Park 1 mile

Felt good. Even kicked it for the last 1/8 of the mile to really get the legs and heart going a little. Plus, I've started doing squats in the elevator on the way down. Usually get about 15 in.

A *Good* OR Day

Finally. I needed that.

But it was also a LONG OR day ~ didn't get home til 8:45. And never made it back to Downstate either. Guess I'm going in early again tomrorow...

Oct 18: To 11th and back

Remember this feeling: fried onion rings do not agree with you. Fried food in general does not agree with you. Back to healthy eating again tomorrow.

Sunny Sunday

I hate when I lose my posts.

I was supposed to go into the hospital this morning (or at least had planned to go this morning) to work on Tumor Board notes but alas, I didn't feel like it. The procrastination bug has bit again, and likely won't improve til after my vacation (you know, the one that I'm procrastinating planning?)

Oct 17: 1 mile run in Prospect Park

Off to shower and head to Manhattan! :)

Rain & Wind

Oct 13: Up to 11th
Oct 14: Up to 11th - in the rain
Oct 15: Prospect Park 1 mile - with crazy winds
Oct 16: Around the block

Well, another set of days down. Today, I tooled around Brooklyn with my bro, sis-in-law and their dog Ella. Have to say, it was definitely fun but involved a great deal of walking. Tomorrow I have to do some work at work and then it's off to a Broadway show with Patricia and dinner with her and KPatz after. Wish this weekend didn't have to come to an end so soon...

The Panini Maker

Found that the George Forman Grill also makes a mean panini - made a mozzarella and chicken panini on the grill and it was yummy!

I've also realized I've hit my slump. I'm not motivated to do anything extra at work or after work. I'm in dire need of my vacation.

Oct 11: Prospect Park 1 mile before Methodist OR
Oct 12: Prospect Park 1 mile after Downstate OR

One month from today. Vaca!

10/10/10

No, I didn't run 10 miles. I ran 1.0 miles, which is sorta like 10.

Oct 10: Prospect Park 1 mile

Got my freshdirect delivered this morning, which means I finally have food in the apartment. The apartment is fairly neat, but not overly so. Still have laundry to do. And taxes, due in 5 days. Oh, and a shitload of work related stuff.

And at any point, I'd like to stop coughing my lung out.

A Lazy Day

Seems I've needed a few of those in the last weeks. Which means only one thing ~ I need a vacation.

Oct 8: Prospect Park 1 mile
Oct 9: Prospect Park 1 mile

So today will be lazy and tomorrow will be productive and Monday will be productive as well, since it's really a call day at Downstate and I get to operate at Methodist all day. :)

Around the Block, Up the Hill

Oct 6: Around the Block (to Prospect Ave and around)
Oct 7: Up the Hill to 11th and Back

I can't wait for the weekend.

Can't friggin' wait.

First Robot

No, not mine...Gorelick's. I've already played on the daVinci robot in a live person before. Today, though, Gorelick was the first gynecologist in Brooklyn to do a case on the robot. And I was asked to be his first assist (which made it quite fun indeed).

Oh, and last night (technically early this morning) Chris Page stopped by for his birthday. Which lead to some interrupted sleep on my part and a strong desire to go to bed early tonight, which has not yet occurred. Onto my runs.

Oct 4: 11th and back
Oct 5: 16th and back, around the block

998 days to go.

Sore

So my body forgot what it was like to run 7 miles. Though today's run felt good, I just know I'm going to be sore.

Oct 3: Prospect Park 1 mile

Actually considered going longer, but then thought about the fact I ran 7 miles yesterday and then re-thought it and turned around. :)

Hamptons Half

Oct 1: Prospect Park 1 mile
Oct 2: Hamptons Half - 7 miles - ran 3 miles with Diana and 4 with LanNa

Yesterday was fun. Really enjoyed running with someone and cheering people on. It's been a long time since I've been to a race (and even longer since I've raced myself). So I guess now I need to look at the race calendar and figure out when I can do my next race.

Today, I still need to run. But it's only 4:30, so I still have time...
