Now seriously, I know student unions have a bad reputation, but still....

Egg Shells
The big black dog has come back for a visit, except this time I'm still on 40mg of fluoxetine. My gut feeling is that I don't know what to do. I've not felt this low since starting on medication anyway and I've been reasonably stable since.
I have described it like an egg shell. I have a tough and bolshy exterior but it's fragile. My shell is getting thinner and particularly weak in places. The gooey bit in the middle keeps coming out to play and I keep crying.
Generally this is bad. Except it's now worse because I'm clinical and doing long days.
I still want medicine as a career but am I right for it?

Age
Anyhow I need to get a bike basket for the bike of doom. Does anyone know of any cheap lightweight baskets (preferably permanently fixed) that are available to buy online?

Return from the abyss
Anyhow, I've managed to regain a sneaky 5 minutes at work (now that I have finished all my course reading for the night) to catch you up on what I've been doing.
I've redeveloped my love of all things wool based, and am currently knitting socks, scarves, gloves, anything I can get my grubby clumsy hands on to be honest...
On Monday I turn the dreaded 26 years of age, and that means that I'm officially on the wrong side of 25. Not good times. I think I'm just going to keep telling people I'm 19 and see if anyone believes me. Someone must do, I got asked for ID 2 weeks ago for a bottle of wine at Sainsburys...
Anyway, if anyone hears anyone slagging me off around the interweb thingy, do feel free to let me know. It's funny how stuff from ex-friends and mentees has a way of getting back to me.

You are all welcome to register at Doc2Doc, there is a section on the registration for speciality where you can type None (or hit * and it will give you a list to choose from).
Anyhow, term is going well and all is good. I feel marginally betrayed by someone I was close to but hay ho, these things happen.
People are apparently all shits.

15 days
We had a lecture three days ago in which the lecturer reminded us how important nurses were, and that if you were nice to them they would feed you when you helped them out/looked hungry/looked exhausted etc.
It must be a good sign that after I cannulated a patient last week one of the male staff nurses, who I've worked with as a HCA leant into me, and whispered sweetly into my ear 'carrot cake and tea round the back, help yourself'.

Lottery
Next time an email in advance wouldn't go amiss. I would settle for 5 numbers Derren... Just enough to clear up some debts.
Although that said I don't think I even have a pound spare until payday next Friday. But still, numbers in advance please...
