Day 35

Starting to say goodbyes this week!

I feel like I have been here for forever. It is interesting to think back on my first Sunday here, compared to now. Gosh, I had so much energy then. I was excited to set out on this adventure. I was nervous about how hard it would be to care for COVID patients. I wondered if I had enough experience. If I would not be prepared enough medically to know how to take care of these patients. I was scared I would get COVID. The skin on my face was not breaking out from constantly wearing a mask. My headaches - that I blame on trying to breath through an N95 - had not started. I actually was sleeping through the night.

I thought I was ready for what was lying ahead. In some ways, I was prepared, and in others I was not. I have learned so much.

But, that will be a long post. Probably my last one. It deserves some thought.

4 days left.
