I can't completely explain today. After my first patient failed to show up for her surgery, I stood for most of 9 hours operating:
1. Exploratory laparotomy, biopsy of mesenteric mass (which, after several hours, we deemed unresectable), bowel resection, hand-sewn bowel anastomosis
2. wide local excision of an arm melanoma
3. umbilical hernia repair
I was leaving about 6:15 when I found out that Ben was stuck at work. I really wanted to lay on the couch until he came home. Instead, I went for a little run. Crazy. Maybe this was just my Lenten sacrifice.
Nothing fancy, and I came upstairs because Ben came home. I should be able to get my 3 runs in this week. My goal is 15 miles this week.
