Surviving May.
This month was rough. An emotional rollercoaster. Super sick and complex patients, many hoping to get a liver transplant..a “second chance at life” as one of my patients called it.. and not everyone made it through the process. The emotions have been insane, super high as liver tranplants came through with the transplant surgery QUEEEEN staying up night and day saving lives…to devastating blows with unfortunate outcomes, navigating patient loss with grieving families and unmet expectations.
Managing the weekly burnout, feeling like I wasn’t contributing enough or seeing favorable outcomes led to searching for distractions to avoid my current reality. Fatigue didn’t help. And. God was still present. In every stumble, every crash out.. sending loved ones to call, come by the house 😭 encourage me to workout, praying for me, popping a prized bottle of Duppy after I paid my car off, seeing Carlos Santana live 💃🏿…. life still happened in the rough.
Maybe next month lol I’ll be more balanced, get a regular sabbath, and not rely on food or other things so heavily to cope with stress😅 should sponsor me for my Caramel Cone pint dinners truly 🤣 not pictured.
Bit by bit. One day to go.
And 13 more months till medical training is behind me🥹
