My leg muscles are dying from overuse
Yesterday I saw many amputated toes.
Today I saw many breasts.
To break the news to a person that she has breast cancer is never easy, you literally see the patient's face change and the numbed expressions of disbelief.
But to see the joy when a person and their family finds out that she is cleared from the BIG C WORD, tears really come to your eyes and you find yourself trying not to let tears fall.
And I must admit, that I don't really like old people sometimes, because I'm scared of them? I can't speak dialect, don't understand what they are saying, sometimes they're naggy, or they're very frail.
But after today, I have to say that they are actually very nice people, they are the ones who are truly grateful to the doctors, to the nurses, and even shake my hand and say thanks to me, when all I did was sit through their consultation and examination.
I'm so tired and sleepy, but there's just so much to do and worry about =(
So much reading to do, uni applications, decisions to make.
Then there is the walking, standing, paying attention.
I think I forgot how life was like when you had to wake up early and go to "work" and return home in the evenings.
