Ouch

I hurt.

I hurt everywhere.

I hurt everywhere and I am exhausted.

I just finished my last shift of OB Clinicals. In 8 hours I put in 2 IVs, 1 foley, admitted 2 patients and assisted with 2 vaginal and 2 cesarean births (both c-sections were for breech babies, one footling and the other presenting its hip). My feet feel like shredded wheat.

I am also on day 4 of a 30 day CrossFit challenge. (Rest day! YAY!). I am going to do the Crossfit Workout of the Day (plus the standard warm up of 3 rounds of 30sec Samson Stretch, 10 push ups, 10 sit ups, 10 dips, 10 pull ups, 10 squats) every day for 30 days... hopefully that will be a stress release for me and help boost my energy because this school thing is sapping my strength and motivation like nobody's business. So, between running my ass off at the hospital, doing the WODs and trying to get school work done I'm just... burnt.

I keep feeling like I'm forgetting assignments or not finishing things and its really disconcerting. I haven't actually done that (yet) but that anxiety seems to always be hanging over me. Luckily I have all day tomorrow to really get caught up on readings and writings before my final exam in OB on Saturday.

Next week begins our "Aging Client" course... blah.

Right now, I'm exhausted and in pain, so I'm gonna pop some ibuprofen and get some sleep.

ciao.
