How can I manage your pain?

Yes, that does mean I got my first choice for SSM. Huzzah!

This has possibly been one of the best days I’ve had in the last nth weeks. Last night I stayed late in the SL to get my PBL finished, which I managed. I also found time to go into town and look like a complete twat carrying around a bear from Make a Bear. The bear was for our VS tutor who is leaving after Christmas (to have a baby).

Today then I went into VS trying to disguise the quite large box containing a teddy bear. I managed it though and she seemed quite taken aback by it, which is always nice. In the meantime we did some more neurological exams, which I’m quite happy with now. It’s a good job too because next week I’m going (back) to Hairmyres to try it out on some proper patients. This should probably act as a warning to any potential musculoskeletal/neurological patients in Lanarkshire (who I’m sure frequent this blog) to avoid going to hospital next Thursday morning.

After VS I came home for a semi-decent lunch before going for, shock horror, a swim! It’s been so long since I’ve had a couple of hours fully free and was quite nice to just swim for some time.

I then went up to the library and managed to find my way around the cataloguing system to get a nice bit of light reading. Whilst there some older (I’d go early 30s) guy was very confused at the cataloguing system and really couldn’t find his book. After miss-hearing “psychology” for “physiology” and sending him on an extra hunt in the totally wrong place, I found out he wasn’t even looking in the right part of the floor. Poor guy eventually found his book and went back up to “where he belongs”.

Now I’m going to feast on my £1 cheesecake before having to get up early for my second Family Project visit. I tried to phone them to check that it was still OK for us to visit. However I only left a message and I don’t think she has my phone number. Hopefully she’ll get the message and be expecting us, how dreadful would a surprise visit be!
