My eyes are sore from being open for so many of the past 96 hours. I am still in a jet lag / sleep deprived haze after being in transit since Saturday morning. But now, after a 'emergency' landing in Iceland, a botched ticket issued for my missed connecting flights, a surprise visit to my family, a trip to the Red Deer mall, and a final sprint to my northern flight connection...
I. Have. Arrived.
Despite having been up since 4 a.m I managed to stock up on some groceries (thanks Trish!), unpack, cram in a few hours of orthopedic clinic, and even see some patients in emerg. It is fantastic to be back in a hospital where I have spent so many hours as a nurse. Already the people here have given me a wonderful welcome and shown outstanding hospitality. It is now 2043h and I am going to finally allow myself to sleep...I will not let the jet lag best me! Also, I promise to get back in the posting groove. Promise.
But for now...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Welcome...home? Hope you get some solid rest and that all is well!
Yay! I'm guessing you have a rotation in Canada...?
@PGYx--Yes, sorta home! Well, in Canukistan. :) I am staying 215 steps from the hospital and hoping to see/do as much as I can before I head back to Ireland in April. Maybe not too much sleep...but hopefully a lot of fun!
@Allison--Yes, an ortho I did an observership with 2 summers ago signed me on for an elective. It was all very last minute but I am so pleased to be back here (I also used to work here as an RN...)
