I am, as we speak, engaging in a sleep strike. My husband and I are staying up to watch a movie - he surprised me with what he knows is my secret weakness - a chick flic. And he's currently making me coffee in the kitchen so I don't fall asleep during the opening credits. We are laughing in the face of my ridiculous hours and staying up together to watch a movie! I couldn't be happier. I'm actually post call today and its been marvelous. I actually got out early this morning - so more like a 27 hour shift instead of 30. I slept and then I WENT TO THE DENTIST!!! Its sad but I'm so excited that I actually to go to the dentist, its taken a year, but thanks again to the help of my hubby I magically got squeezed in on my only day in months that would have worked!!
Call last night hurt. I got approximately 34 minutes of non-consecutive sleep the entire call. I was a total goofy giggly nutcase by the morning. As a non-intern I've now been upgraded to taking ICU call, and last night we had a record number of patients. But I survived and all the patients survived with me, so I count it a victory!
Well, that's all for now, coffee is ready, and since my previous debacle, coffee it is no longer allowed near the laptop. I am off to watch a delicious movie and sip some marvelous gourmet coffee and although I'll likely pay for it in the morning, I can already tell its going to be worth it!
