It's been an interesting few days, but I think it will take more time to adjust! I guess one thing I never understood about med school is the scheduling! Luke literally has a different schedule everyday and every week it changes... So what I'm saying is there is no routine!!
I'm a planner so it seems kind of nuts, I have asked him probably close to 20 times now what his schedule is by habit and I feel bad but I just want to know! Finally after probably being tired of me asking so much he just emailed me all the info he had about classes so I have no excuse to ask anymore!
The first day he came home exhausted... 8 hours of pure lecture can really wear on someone, but the moment he got home the studying began! Which I'm really proud I have to say, I've never met someone more motivated and driven! It was nice though because when I got home and we got to spend a few hours together to eat dinner and relax before his studying began... All I could think was "alrighty, here we go!"
Surprisingly it's actually been ok so far, I get jealous really easily when he's spending time with his books and not me, but it gives me time to do my things I need to get done too and he's done a great job of trying to study before he even comes home which is so nice! All in all it's been off to a good start!
He has also come home with some excellent stories! He learned how to greet patients and was "luckily" volunteered by his buddy to practice first in front of everyone but he said it went well! Another piece of information he learned was finding lymph nodes, so I have already gotten to practice being a patient and hopefully I was a good one... I said "so did I do ok?" and his response was "well I don't really know what good or bad feels like yet so I'm not sure" ha ha! He went to a surgery seminar for lunch one day, primarily for free pizza but also out of some interest in the topic as well... He made sure that I knew he was glad he finished his pizza before the surgeon began showing images of previous patients because he had some gruesome ones! Among some there was a story that was more odd than the rest, apparently one of the trauma Surgeons patients was a "regular" he would stab himself on occasions and come in the get fixed up...
Well one time he stabbed himself deeper than normal and it was quite an ordeal, but ironically the only thing keeping him from bleeding to death was the scar tissue supporting the knife in him from all his previous stabbing incidents! Crazy huh?
I love hearing the stories, it can make light of a heavy situation and makes it fun for me because I don't always understand the technical side to things!
This is for sure an adjustment period for us, but we are so motivated to try to do our best for one another... So even though he's been busy I still came home from work on this Friday evening to a home cooked Mexican style meal and red roses on the table! He just is such an amazing husband and I feel so blessed, I only hope I can make him feel as special as I do!
