Hurricane Ike Update #20

Sunday, September 14, 2008, 7:22pm

So, I don't have any pictures for this post, but if I did, it would be of all of us with huge grins on our faces and doing happy dances!

Why, you might ask? They are releasing us tomorrow morning!!! Well, that being said, it is because the hospital is shutting down. All healthcare activities are being shut down for a minimum of 2 weeks, and they are releasing all of us tomorrow. The DMAT people have taken over the ER, so once all those people are taken care of, everything will be shut down and have to be cleaned, de-molded, dried out, etc.

What am I doing, you might ask? Well one of other residents and I are heading to Dallas tomorrow (that is, if the car double-parked behind her moves). Then I'm getting on the soonest/cheapest flight I can to Columbus, Ohio for a two week vacation! Dr. Mileski has told us all to get one way flights and just wait to hear from them as far as when to come back. I think I might use this time at home to go car-shopping. He has also assured us that this will not affect our residency time, graduation date, etc. All five of us surgery prisoners/residents are getting out of town!

I'm going to post again in a minute about the other residents' homes...

if you want a 1998 "hello officer" red Audi A4, come buy mine. 5-speed manual, Bose audio, sunroof, two owners (me and a cleveland OSU alum psychiatrist).

But glad to hear you're ok. Was 4 days in the hospital worth the two week vacation?

So happy that you're able to take a mini vacation in Columbus! (too bad about the football game, though!) You deserve a break, enjoy!

Won't a long, refreshing shower feel good? Lots of hot meals, air conditioning, swimming, a cozy bed. All in good time, all in good time.

Earlier today you were so down about being there at the hospital the next two weeks. Glad your tone has changed, and they're going to let you get away for a bit.
