ARCHIVES - 1996 to FOREVER

I'm on call, of course, and I didn't get called in until about 18:00, when I did two ER patients. The night tech that does CTs was getting there at 19:00, so I came on home and watched a movie with Karen.

I just got another call, just asking a question, though.

The movie that we watched was Crash, and I thought that it was pretty good... wasn't a mystery, not a lot of blood and guts, just a good movie that was entertaining and made you think a little bit. Kim had bought it and recommended it to us.

Most movies I find are a waste of time, which is why I never watch a movie without a good recommendation... which reminds me, JD is coming up Thursday, and he's told me about some movies that he has that he wants me to see, I'll have to remind him to bring them along. O'yeah, and my bench dogs....

I will be able to watch DVDs on my laptop when I'm in the hospital... I'd kinda forgotten about that.

Three more days on the damned antibiotics... I'm on one that I've never had before, and it's the only one that's ever given me diarrhea. All of the others have had the opposite effect, or no effect at all. And my sinusitis isn't quite gone yet, either, but it's getting there.

Nine days and counting... gotta make sure that I don't get too cocky here. The nicotine need hits suddenly and hard, but briefly, leaving me slightly shaken each time at the sheer intensity. Interestingly, I think that if I had smokable material at hand, I would not be able to resist it. Since I have at least five or ten minutes to think about it before I could possibly get my hands on a cigar, it's not a problem.

The fits last what, maybe ninety seconds to three minutes.

And I'm still coughing a little bit, but not nearly as much as I was when I was smoking. And I don't get those sneezing/coughing fits, either... those were usually quite scary for witnesses, even family who'd seen them before.

I think that there's a possibility that I'm actually allergic to tobacco/nicotine... but who knows and who cares, I'm done with it anyway.

And it's 22:30, and I'm done with this day, too. I'll be up at 07:00 in the AM, most likely, and be at work until 14:30 when the evening guy gets there....
