Well it was a relaxing and disconnected weekend.  I woke up in the night again because of the cat.  Of course though see was better last night than on the weekend.  I wish she would just be good all the time so I could sleep good all the time, but especially when I can sleep in.  But being on call I was able to sleep in longer than Sonja.  The alarm went off for her to get up and then I was out for the next hour.  It went to fast as I was still tired and reluctant to get up.  But I did and got ready for work.

I went to work and was able to keep myself busy for the first hour or so.  Since there was no internet since Friday we weren't able to enter or complete any x-rays, including sending them to Vancouver.  So I spent the first part of the day ordering the x-rays we took and sending them through the system.  I was a nice change from the usual.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay busy for long.  Just after 12 I had a patient come in who got his foot crushed between a tugboat and the pier or barge.  So he was in a lot of pain and I had to do x-rays from the knee down.  It was tough because my x-ray machine isn't the most versatile.  Some machines are able to get to anywhere in the room, but not mine.  I got most of them done, but needed another one.  So I had to haul in the portable machine to get the right angle on the x-ray machine.  I finally got it and took the patient back down to the ER.  He was lucky and seemed to only break one bone in his foot.

The rest of the day had spurts of work to do with a lot of waiting.  Just as I was getting ready to call it quits someone walked in needing x-rays and blood-work.  So I did it and came home a little bit late and found that supper was ready.  We had swarties casserole with iced tea.  It was really good.  Sonja is two for two this week so far.  The evening has kind of been uneventful.  We watched Canada's Worst Drivers and last nights Dexter.  It is getting really good for all you Dexter lovers who can't see it yet.  I will try to get it on DVD for you guys when we are home.  Just hope that they wrap it up before Christmas so you won't be left with an episode left.

The rest of the night will continue being relaxed.  Go to bed soon.  And if you were wondering it rained today.
