Thankful: Day 62

I saw my 3rd patient today!

I am finally starting to feel like I belong in that clinician chair. I'm not always on top of it, and sometimes I get too focused on being meticulous about the wrong things. The "learning" software we have to use for the college is such a learning curve for me...but every day I get a little bit better. I got farther in the sequence at this patient's first visit than with either of my first two patients which is a relief, because I was sure I was going to be the slowest clinician in my class.

Anyway, so far, so good. I still struggle with anxiety and feelings of panic, but it is getting easier to talk (and pray) myself off the ledge. Every single patient has been a God sent blessing to me. I don't want to jinx myself or anything, but they have all been so kind and encouraging; not one of them has been harsh or rude. God knew I would need kindness and encouragement and He has been so faithful to me as I embark on this journey.

Also, the countdown is ON...

At most 11 more days till I welcome my newest niece and nephew!!!  Any day now!

ONLY 11 MORE DAYS UNTIL SPRING BREAK!!

I will likely be spending my spring break with a baby in one arm and typing a literature review with the other!  But I don't care as long as it means I can sleep in!
