Not So Bad.

I left on time Monday. I prayed in the car on my way to work, as I usually do. It relaxes me before the day begins. Usually, before, I would pray for others more than myself. But, I have to admit, Monday I was a little more selfish. I didn't know what to expect. That morning I took some ibuprofen so that my hip would hopefully not bother me as much. But I still didn't know what to expect at all! They just told me to be there at 8:30.

Luckily, I don't live too far from the office. It's just a street over from where my old office was. However, I forgot that you can't enter the parkinglot from the street I normally take. And you really aren't supposed to make a U-turn at the light after. So I turned up another street to hit one of the main roads. I was a little on auto-pilot. I wasn't concentrating on my driving and I turned down the wrong street. It will take me the way I didn't want to go. So, I made the illegal U-turn at the light so I wouldn't be horribly late.

Doc heard my voice and came rushing down the hall to greet me. I have to admit, it was nice. There were five girls in the office that morning, not including myself, plus Doc and the OB that works there. There was the front desk lady, an intern, the Family Practice MA, the on-call MA, the OB MA, and the office manager. This was really something I will have to get used to. But they were all welcoming and very helpful. Then, after lunch, ANOTHER front office girl arrived! I don't think there is another man other than Doc and the FP doctor who works there!

The day wasn't too hard. We had FOUR no-shows! The OB had a couple no-shows too! The FP doctor was on vacation. It was actually kinda nice to settle on a quiet day. And the best thing was that my all-time favorite family was coming in later that day!! I was pretty stoked about that. The day was pretty normal. I gave my first set of shots that day in 12 weeks. I was a little shakey in putting on the bandages, I'll admit. Otherwise it was a breeze.

Their computer system is totally different though. It will definitately take some getting used to! It's more thorough than the old one. So they began traning me on that. Other than that it was pretty uneventful. Today was about the same. Liz came in today, and we had to get our pictures taken for our ID badges. At the new Antioch office, we won't be able to open doors without them. We trained more on the computers today, which I will also be doing tomorrow.

So my week thus far has been exhausting, but I haven't hurt too much. My bad good hip has been bugging me a little bit more lately. I think it's finally starting to get annoyed at all the extra stress I've put on it the past 12 weeks. My walking has improved greatly. My hip hardly hurts with extension. I keep saying that I'm going to get up early and exercise it some, but yeah, like that's gonna happen!
