Robyn, Kayla and I have been back in Australia for about 2 weeks now. We're happy to be 'home.' Things are settling in nicely for now. I'm regularly bike riding to work everyday. Robyn has some days slotted in for get-togethers with other moms in the neighborhood. On Fridays, all the fellows and their families get together for dinner to drink and talk and have fun. The houses are rotated weekly so as not to be overly burdensome to one family. This Friday it's at our place for Mexican night!!
Work is going well. The cases are interesting and the patients are nice. So far the outcomes have been great and the patients thankful for their operation. Once I get a little bit more of an experience, I'll write a blog comparing and contrasting the differences in the American and Australian medical system. Yesterday I operated on call and fixed to patients bad fractures. It was rewarding work.
Looking back on all our recent travels, I'm glad we did it, but am also glad to be done for now. Travelling, like anything else you enjoy, is great in short bursts. Too much of it and it wears on you. We plan to stay in Brisbane for a while, taking day trips on the weekends to the beach or national parks to see the country. The craziness with the flooding and then my registration/visa issues worked out well to allow us to see this part of the world, but now it's time to study and live locally.
Thanks for reading,
Speak to you soon,
David
