Day Off Tomorrow

I have decided to take a day off tomorrow while sorting out some personal matters, but I realised that there were plenty of things were still on my plate. But looking at the whole picture, I should take the day off since my other colleagues would be away next week, and I would be very busy then.

So, what shall I be doing then? Puan Anita wanted me to sort out my study at the apartment. I could do with a table and chair so that, rather than use the dining table to do my paper work, I should be using that instead. But, I don't really fancy going to IKEA during school holidays. We might end up going to VIVA Home Center instead then.

We could also go to watch "Avenger" instead. Hmm! Decisions. Decisions.

Post Call

Finally I managed to have some shut eye after a hectic night on call. The call started out well enough but the five admissions after midnight did it for me. Went back to the apartment at around 3, and my sleep then was interrupted a few times.

I woke up groggily this morning, did my ward rounds, finished my clinic and after lunch, I decided to have a doze in the Doctor's mess. Success! Now, for the afternoon clinic.

The Day Off

The coughing returned with a vengeance late last night. It wasn't helped by the fact that I was watching Downton Abbey until last midnight. In the end, I managed some sleep, but it could've been better.

But I felt much better this morning. The sore throat definitely was gone. Wow! The Zithromax really worked. Although I closed the clinic this morning, I still have a few patients in the ward, as well as a couple of admissions this morning. But I made it clear that I would only be available in the morning. Planning to have the afternoon and evening all by myself. I'll probably be doing some cleaning at my home office, with all the papers strewn everywhere. Or maybe. A few more episodes of Downton Abbey. I had a few more episodes of the second series to go through .....

Admitting Defeat

My cough turned green this morning and the fever returned. Had to get some proper antibiotics, and close the clinic for tomorrow. I waited until after the morning rush was over before setting off for my ward round. And even then, I was coughing away.

Saw our family Doctor, who started me on antibiotics. Returned for the afternoon clinic and sorted out my paper works. Decided just to come in for wars rounds. Clinic ha been cancelled. I wouldn't be driving in early. And would be taking some time off in the afternoon.

So, hopefully this antibiotics would work wonders. I have to bounce back before my on call on Thursday.

Look at the Sun!

The weather outside had been stunning this morning, and I'm stuck in clinic at the moment. But fret not, as I have just seen the last patient. I might be heading out for lunch with the weather this nice. Followed by a couple of hours at the apartment, since I have no clinic in the afternoon, plus paper works and discharges had already been sorted. I still needed to do the afternoon rounds still.

Puan Anita had just finalised the booking for this weekend. We would be spending Saturday at A Famosa in Melaka, en route to a cousin's engagement in Muar in Sunday. It had been a while since we had a road trip - the last one being to Singapore. This time around, my parents and Julia's children would be coming along. Julia would be joining us in the Sunday in Muar.

Looking forward to that ....
