boohoo…
It’s been a record-breaking day…
After having ‘perfected’ my scrubbing / sterile techniques (ie wash hands, dry with sterile towel, putting on green gowns) on Monday, I was in the operating theatre again today, which means I had to go through the rituals again. It was perfect, did it without a glitch. A smile of satisfaction spread across my face. Ahhh I’m good!
It was an operation for carpal tunnel syndrome so had to sit down for the operation. Someone wheeled the stool towards me so I could sit and the next thing I knew my sterile gloved hands were on the seat, holding on to it as I sat down (it’s such a natural thing to do!). Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh NOoooooooooooo the medical student touched the unsterile stool with the sterile gloves! Of course everyone looked at me as I sheepishly had someone help me re-glove again.
So near yet so far… Urggh…
It probably sounds as though my current life revolves around putting on surgical gowns with the perfect technique these few days. I can’t believe it’s so hard! I don’t usually feel stupid easily (it’s a healthy sense of self esteem)… but this thing is making me feel a bit like that!
As if to help confirm that, was putting in drips in the afternoon and I missed two out of two!
Reflected over what’s happened, and it really comes down to practicing, just like most things in live. Much of my character and heart are still being moulded to be more like Him and it’s an everyday practice to practise.
I refuse to let the everyday circumstances tell me who/what I am, but rather I look at Christ and find myself again. I know the direction I’m headed - I’m headed for success =)

profound statement of the day: jokes are the only things that seem to get lamer with practice…(esp mine)…
