Tuesday was my first day of Internal Medicine in the clinic. When I woke up, I was feeling significantly worse and within the first ten minutes of meeting my preceptor, she had written me a prescription for antibiotics. She did a physical exam and declared that my cold had progressed into bronchitis. Lucky me.
The clinic that I am working at has 80-90% Spanish speakers and I don't speak Spanish. So this first day was extra trying because I could barley speak, was coughing like crazy, felt horrible and couldn't understand what was going on. The doctor and nurse tried to translate for me, but considering how yucky I felt, it didn't matter all that much.
When we got home, Mom was down at the beach again and I decided to meet her down there. Here is a picture of her relaxing on the beach:
It was a little overcast and very windy, but Mom still had a great time on the beach. It was warmer than it looked!
Since I wasn't feeling too well, we decided to have a very laid back evening. We went to dinner at Cantina 27, which is less than a block from my apartment. The food was great!
When we got home, Mom and I decided that I needed a hair cut. Since she only took a carry on, she could not bring her hair cutting shears (they are too long). I had surgical scissors, so she decided to give it a go. Now, the surgical scissors I have are not very long and her hair cutting shears are 6 inches. This was the longest hair cut of my life, but it is straight! Poor Mom went on vacation and then had to work. We ended up taking 7-8 inches off my hair and I still have long hair!
