Sorry...I know I promised imminent updates on the new job, unfortunately my poor under-used brain went into overload and almost crashed from all the learning!
I think I'm going to like this new job; there is a plethora of computer programs to learn, but as soon as I get on top of that, I think it will be fine.
My favourite part so far (and I think will continue to be) the patients. The majority are 60-plus, and they are really lovely, always smiling and joking. Everyone becomes a quasi-family in the department because the patients come in everyday for usually around 6 weeks for treatment, so they get to know one another and us. We were inundated with Easter chocolate given by the patients today, I left with a whole bag full!
The toughest part has to be seeing the children. Little five and nine year-olds coming in for treatment. There is one little girl, who is just adorable, short little brown ringlets and as shy as they come, such a cutie..I can't imagine how hard it would as a parent to watch your child go through that.
Anyways, this post isn't as exciting as I had hoped; I have the next four days off over Easter, so hopefully my brain will get a chance to decompress and I will get some stories up about some of the characters that I have met.
