Last night was better, I didn't get called at all after I went to bed, but I didn't sleep worth a damn anyways.
I got up around 04:30 and got the paper in and made a pot of decafe and kinda dozed and kinda read the paper. I finally got called about 07:30. I made seven separate trips in to the hospital today... the patients just weren't close enough together. I probably did 15 patients altogether, none of them very interesting cases. Karen and I are still in a quandary about vehicles; we don't know what we want, or where to get it, or where to get the loan... and we haven't really had time to even sit down and talk about it. So tomorrow, we're both going to work, but we only have one vehicle... and Karen has to go see the dentist, 'cause she's got a toothache tonight. Different tooth from the one last week. We also have to go to the bank, since we got our check from Unka Sam... this is getting too complicated. Karen has to be at work at 08:00, and I have to be there at 09:00. Sometimes she has to be there at 07:00, but not tomorrow. But she has to have the truck to go see the dentist, so she should go in early, which leaves me going in two hours early to work. Then she'll get off probably about the same time that I do, if she makes up the time from going to the dentist... Luckily, I won't be on call, that would complicate things even more. This week on call has really exhausted me, and I'm glad that it's almost over. I might re-think this being on call a week at a time deal. That's OK if you don't get called, but I've been called pretty regularly. I just hope that I can get a good night's sleep tonight.
