Another Saturday of call

Murphy's law reigns again; I thought this weekend would be a quiet call weekend since we only have a whopping 2 patients in the hospital right now, but of course they have to be 2 very active (active with issues that is) patients.  Yes, so active I had to make a second trip into the hospital today after having left for the day following morning rounds.  My pager remained active most of the day thanks to this one patient.  I had hoped to take a nap and maybe even make it into DC to meet up with my cousin Christine who is there from Boston this weekend but nope, had to go back to the hospital!!!  Yay me and my weekend of call!

Well, I finished in time to run a couple of errands with the company of my friend Sandy who is also on call this weekend.  We made it up to Wegmans where I scored free cake boards (the thick pieces of cardboard that cakes lay on in the box) for boxes of goodies I plan to put together and take in for the OR staff and the nurses on the Oncology floor and of course the outpatient chemo nurses as Christmas greetings.  Then we decided to look for some warm PJs as it has gotten SO cold here now.  Enjoyed dinner at Jessie Wong's although the service was really bad.  Plan to enjoy a movie and some wine if we can stay awake but I have a feeling we'll most likely fall asleep as soon as we sit in front of the TV as we have both worked pretty hard on call.
