like i said, "Interns don't blog!"

September? Is that the month already? I have to say, I must have been amazingly lazy or incredibly busy these couple of months.

And which is it? Well, a bit of both actually, and so much has been happening. .

For one, I got done with maternity..
Praise God? (Did I hear an Amen?) 3 months of sleepless calls and tonnes of work. I would describe maternity, for lack of stronger adjectives, as laborious and painstaking. Not to mention the kind of pressure everyone puts on you. If anything so much as goes wrong, then you’ll have to explain why 10 minutes after being called, you were still trying to find the bearings out of your bed..

Weekends lost meaning, because more often than not, I’d be on the maternity floor, or theatre working as usual. More of my tales of terror with pregnant women later though.

I’ve now done 2 months of Internal Medicine and have one more to go. This is probably the most relaxing department ever! The calls are light, no emergency surgeries at night and I mustn’t forget the free afternoons…

Then got my internet connection (finally!) and now I’m on the information superhighway like a fish to water. So much to read and learn on the net, that even sparing a moment for my blog has been difficult. But I’m confident that this is the first of many more posts to come.

So many firsts..

First, let's start off with why i've not blogged for, well... such a long time. Simple really. It's the department i moved to from Paediatrics. The good people in KNH call it Obs & Gynae, we, on the other hand, prefer to call it Maternity, Mat in short.

The first first, was me doing my first caeserian section, alone, yipee.. Oh, and that was before i delivered my first baby. hehe..

Another first, the number of hits on my blog pita'd the 1,000 mark. I was always looking forward to that.. now if only 1 of every 10 of those peeps left comments.. hmm..

Then i almost hit another first. I almost got internet in my room, save for a couple of 'gentlemen' that couldn't admit that they couldn't do the job.. story for another day by the way.

Got my first salo'... Making friends became so easy suddenly. Humans!

... i'll add a few more firsts in my next blog, for sure. Keep it locked. And also tonnes of storo's from the Realms of Thika Maternity..

Oh, and guys, props to your mothers. I swear! The kind of sh*t (literal shit and otherwise), pain etc that they went thru' to bear you, is to put it mildly, excruciating. So, big up for my mum!

& i'm back!
Laterz,
