Just for funLast weekend, I got to go to Sydney CBD (central business district--the term "downtown" does not exist in Australia--except when I repeatedly say "downtown" instead of CBD). It was loads of fun! We went to the botanical garden, the opera house, looked at the government house, did lots of shopping, and ate lots of food.

So, it is winter. Not a very cold winter, but cold enough that I wished I had brought some gloves and a scarf. Fortunately, there is a great UGG store that houses all the winter apparel you could possibly want! As you can see in the picture, Judith, Travis, Meredith, and I found some awesome hats at the UGG store.
More on Coffee
This is a mocchiato. It looks nothing like a caramel mocchiato. Basically, it is a shot of espresso with a splash of milk and some foam (and a packet of sugar in the raw that I added to take off the edge).
More new words:
They pronounce cervical like this: serve eye kul...with an emphasis on the second syllable. They think it is ridiculous that we do not differentiate between the two cervical regions of a female's body.
"she'll be all right" = everything will be okay, we'll get through it.
"How long is a piece of string?" = a saying that my CI uses often to address questions that have no good answer. I guess it approximately equals the UK favorite, "It depends."
"You've got buckley's." = There is absolutely no chance of that happening.
...and there are a lot more that I don't feel like writing at the moment but I will include them next post.
Why I am tired.
Today, I observed a CABG. It was really, really cool. I got to stand at the head of the bed, chat with the cardiothoracic surgeons, and watch their work up close and personal. Live hearts and lungs are so much cooler than dead ones. The surgical time lasted almost 4 hours. With the prep and the recovery, I observed for more than 6 hours. A very awesome and very tiring opportunity.
I am still learning a whole bunch at the hospital. I think I landed in a top location with some top PT's. The other student with whom I work told me that Westmead Private rarely takes students. All students are specially selected and referred by personal friends of the company. So, way to go Lynn English! (thank you!)
There are many more stories to come. I wish Woody could write this for me. He tells stories much better than I do.
Goji Berries... yes... I tried those too.for my health conditions, Those sweet, red berries seemed to help, but only during the time when I consumed them. I don't want to take a drug for the rest of my life, so why would I want to take a natural supplement everyday for the rest of my life (although Goji berries are very tasty and are highly nourishing). To me this was not a cure either (and I'm LOOKING for the CURE).
ReplyDeleteUp to that point, I hadn't found a cure. I felt like a young jumbled mess. I continued to have extreme pain, but continued on my path to healing. I started to focus on myself and not everyone else. When I was a young adult, I took on too much responsibility out of a sense of obligation. This was no longer healthy for me, so I resigned from all my projects and groups. Those days to come were the best [and worst] days. I took a lot of time off work, yet begun to feel so extremely exhausted. Many health professionals "diagnosed" me with adrenal fatigue & Hiv,Prostate Cancer so my situation was annoying then I keep searching for permanent cure online that's when I came to know of Dr Itua herbal center hands whom god has blessed with ancestral herbs and a gift to heal people with disease like .Cancers,Alzheimer's disease,HPV,Men & Women Infertility,Melanoma, Mesothelioma, Diabetes, Multiple myeloma, Parkinson's disease,Neuroendocrine tumors,Herpes, Hiv/Aids,Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma,, chronic diarrhea, COPD,Love spell, Hepatitis...
