2.5 weeks left...until i am FREE! i turned over my clinic several weeks ago, and spent a few weeks in qatar covering for the arcent surgeon doc who was going house hunting in hawaii..he is doing a psych fellowship via the army...he and his wife are animal lovers and bringing 11 cats and a dog with them!
i met some really great folks in qatar...contract PA's and nurses who i really had fun hanging out with...
NOW, i am back to kuwait, living in open bay ward with 150 other women transients like me all ranks and services...and sad to say, it really doesn't seem to bother me a bit. i mean there is INDOOR PLUMBING for goodness sake, i can't ask for more. i don't have to go outside to pee, or walk several blocks in the freezing cold to shower..everything is inside..i am still thrilled about it. my gawd, what has become of me? no privacy, loud noisy people..lights out at ten, whisper...but i am so delighted about the indoor plumbing piece, i can't get over it.
they(the powers that be) wasted NO time in putting me back to work...so i am busting my butt seeing 18+ patients a day..but all i can think of is i am almost out of here!
the new group showed up yesterday...which really means we are really getting to the end of this stint in the desert...and i can put it all behind me.
just loook to the future!
although, i am starting to stress a bit, my new orders to san diego have not been processed, so i am getting nervous that the navy may have different plans for me...scarey.
so, here i lie in my bed lower bunk with blankets all around as a fort for my privacy...it is like building a tent inside.
all i can say, is that i have been so demoralized that the indoor plumbing makes me happy!
