Happy Halloween

Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween. Landen was dressed as a lizard but we didn't take him around trick or treating because he is still too young to eat a lot of candy so we didn't think it would be right to take him around so we could eat the candy. He had fun answering the door and hand out candy. Here is my little lizard.

As for work, I have finished one month now. Things have continued to go great. I have still not had any back pain. This next month I have infectious disease. Bring on the swine flu. I still have not got vaccinated because the hospital does not have any vaccines. They have a few that they are only giving it to pregnant workers and if they have vaccinated all pregnant workers, and still have some left then they are giving it to pregnant patients. They have plenty of the nasal vaccine but that is a live vaccine and with my recent splenectomy, I do not feel safe with a live vaccine. I called the health clinic and told them my situation and asked if I could be considered for the injectable vaccine since I am high risk but they didn't think so, so I remain unvacinated because I refuse to put myself at risk by getting the nasal one. This rotation will be more busy with me being on call and all and having to work weekends. Hope my back remains to not hurt.
