sick sick

So I'm staying at home today after reporting to work.  Was orderd to go home and rest.
Stomach doesn't feel good.  Everything doesn't feel good.  can't eat anything to make me feel good.  This is a horrible feeling when your tummy keeps on making uneasy noises.
They said there is a stomach flu going around.  I guess I just happen to catch it somehow.  They said the eggs I ate yesterday were not good.
and yeah i always eat the wrong thing when i'm sick!

it's midnight, isn't it?

...should I just ask to go home early?


As you know I'm sitting here writing in thee middle of the night because I .. inadvertently could not sleep the entire night.  Wonder why?  I have digestion problems so all the foods I ate left undigested for the entire evening.  Wonder what happens?  oh throw up episode of course.
I don't think I've thrown up this hard in my life as far as I could remember (if these words make any senses)...
It's crazy and it hurts.  My throat hurts.  The acid taste is too strong for me to go back to sleep so I sit here sleepless and writing.
Without knowing what to write....
Note to self: today only fluid diets, no gym today... that means I might not go for dinner w/ housemates since this will be their last nights here.
Note to self: throwing up is not fun. 
Note to self: needs to eat less (as though I eat a lot).  I blame it on my weak digestive system. I guess now I have an excuse to not eat a whole lot because... the next thing I know I will head to the toilet bowl in no time!

third week update

so this is my third week into rotation.  I have to say I wouldn't have asked for a better rotation site, preceptor.  this place is totally perfect for me.  The preceptor is understanding and nice.  All the people here are just as wonderful.
My MTM session is tomorrow.  Meaning: I will prepare the material about what to tell the patient and what not to tell the patient.
My patient has some compliance issues but I will try my best to see if I can help with anything.  It's exciting but at the same time I feel as though my passion is not here.  I am glad that I am able to do it though.  There is something else that is capturing my mind more than medication therapy management and I think I am leaning toward it more now.  It's still a long shot but we will see what will happen in the future.
I've recently contacted the director at the wellness center near home... yes that is how things get done sometimes unfortunately. well, the employees who work there don't know what kind of pool they have and give me the wrong answer which led to the email that I sent to the director about changing their current pool condition.  In any case, he replied and said they no longer use chlorine! YES!!! So I think I will probably join the gym for sure! I love swimming and nothing gives me better workout beside yoga and stretching.
They have classes that I can attend as well so it's pretty neat.  We will see!
Work is going just fine.  I've been working while on rotation.  Wish the internet was better because I will have gotten more things done but it's okie.  Everything is caught up now.  It's not too bad! 
I admit that I'm quite a workaholic nowadays but it makes me happy.  ^_^


The prospect of finishing up this rotation makes me happy.  I was worried but I didn't have to.  My preceptor made it better.  The site is awesome.  Free food throughout the day.  Free gym for the entire stay.  I couldn't have asked for a better rotation site! ^_^

Need to go to sleep now.  It's been a tiring 2 weeks. 

another week

It still hurts sometimes when I think about it...
The pharmacy is fine today.  It's not busy but steady.  I finished printing out the flyers for the MTM section.  I'm a little bit excited and yeah there are a lot of things to do as well. 
Supposed to have dinner with M. tomorrow but she hasn't called yet . Wonder whether it's still on.  Maybe I should write her an email or something.
I still need to do the poster...
I'm half way done with my rotation already... amazing how time flies.
oh I get to eat a lot of strawberries these days for free.
anticipating another batch tomorrow ^_^
loving it.. loving it..
the CE today was kind of interesting.  A lot of the things I've known... it's good review.  The food was good.  People must have thought I totally waste my food but really it's a bit heavy for me and I knew if I ate it, I would be sick again.. so sorry.. I know it's wasteful but... shouldn't we be cutting back our portion anyway?

night now

second week of rotation

so... google has decided to delete my post w/o telling me about it... because of the connection issue? huh ? huh??
hello? I can't get to this page w/o logging in.
anyway.. just an update saying I'm into my 2nd week.  Too tired now to write anything longer than this.  Will update after my presentation about vitamin D tomorrow.  Just in case you wonder long how, it's going to be a 40 minutes+ presentation about vitamin D!
pray for me! :)

first day of rotation

the first day of rotation was fine.
I think I will learn a lot from this rotation.
My preceptor is extremely great.  He's so knowledgeable and ... witty as well as funny.  I think I'm extremely lucky...

trick of the day: if you have earwax plugging ear, try stool softener capsule instead of carbamide peroxide.
here is how you would do it.
use the over the counter stool softener capsule
for adult 2 capsules, for children, 1 capsule
puncture the capsule and squeeze out the liquid in there into the plugged ear with your head on the side.
let it stay there for a couple of minutes.  then use the cotton ball to cover it.  in the morning, you will see the result...
I have never tried this but I've heard it works.  If you've tried it, let me know if it works. :D
this statement has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety and efficacy : ) (legality purpose)
Enjoy... I'm back on reviewing the.. review paper...
