feel like procrastinating

Just feel like procrastinating so I'm blogging ...

I had THE best long weekend last week alone
- Saturday: no sports strapping so I slept in till 9.30. Went for a long run/walk for 2.5 hours. Went for a swim, then to the spa, then to the sauna. Had curry chicken for dinner :) Watched an episode of GLEE that I missed last week.
-
Sunday: Slept in till 9.30 again. Did grocery shopping, rented a DVD for FREE. Watched Cool Runnings on TV. This is such a hilarious movie!!! It's an old movie but to those who haven't watch it, you HAVE to!!!! Too funny MAN!!! Watched Ella Enchanted on TV as well after that. I am so glad I do not need to go up to Newcastle that Sunday!!! Went for steamboat buffet with Lucas, Thaddeus and Laura. We sat there for 2.5 hours. Wanted to go see the Fire Water at the Rocks but we decided to make our money worth. Got home, watched Invictus. The DVD I rented. Went to bed halfway.
- Monday: Finish up Invictus. It was a pretty good movie. I loved it. Movies about sports are always so inspirational. Add Morgan Freeman into it, lagi best!!!

And this week during prac....
I saw a cranioplasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is where they slice up the person's head, peel that layer of skin over, and put back part of the person's skull :p Awesome much??? I saw it from the very start. they had to shave his hair off before the slicing. The best part was when the surgeon start to slice the skin. It's like using a blade and just cut along. and you see all the blood oozing out.... Too Cool!!! And then after that, they took part of his skull which was stored in the bone bank for a few months and try to fit it back to his head. It's like completing the puzzle. It didn't fit cause of some ossification after a few months since the bone was out so they have to remove some of it. Then also they didn't peel enough of the membrane off so they had to peel more before fitting the bone back. It took quite some time and when they were about to put the bone in and screw it up to complete the puzzle... I had to leave as it was 4.30 already and I was catching a ride from Nat :( But yeaa.... it was still so cool!!!! I got to see the best part already which was the start...... I got to wear scrubs and look like those people in grey's anatomy. Wooot wooot!!!!! Syok sendiri.... hehehehe....

And now with the final week of prac coming up....
- I am super exhausted
- Ward meeting on Tuesday
- Case presentation on Wednesday
- Assignment due on Thursday
- Final Assessment the whole week
- Final Feedback on Friday
- And of course.... Saving more lives :p Haha!!!!
- I predict a busy busy week because most of my patients that I was looking after were discharged. Me and my miracle hands? Ekekekeke.....It was the calm before a storm pretty much.... patients getting discharged means... more empty beds... meaning more new ones coming in....

It's quite funny to think how nearly everyday someone gets a stroke!!!!!

Oh week 5, hurry up and be over. I want my HOLIDAY!!!!!
