its been a very long time since i put finger to keyboard for this blog. far too long. but i guess after recent turns of events one should take the time to put ones mind to the written word as an exercise in focus. sorry boss; there ain't not patients present on worklist or in-tray...
it finally happened on sunday. ibu myra decided to postpone the orthognathics for PJ because of a persistent, nasty, phlegmy URTI. in a dispassionate way, one could well reflect that it was for the best. who wants to do elective ops on a patient who isn't ASA 1? and in a way that allows one to be gripped in emotion, this has been something that she's quite literally been waiting for; and end point to her ortho tx. and this has taken four whole years, probably twice the duration of your average pt. but all in, long term management of a disappointment situation must be one whereby disappointment gives way to acceptance and a willingness to move forward. failure to recognise a closed door and an acceptance of a new path will only need to unhappiness and depression.
so what's my take on the whole thing?
- the good Lord closes doors according to his will and timing, and it is definitely not in the christian's best interests to either whine at the door which he closes, or to try to breach the door.
- at the same time, the door which he will surely open instead of the closed door will be a door that will prove beneficial compared to the closed door.
- true peace comes from acceptance of guidance when one's will is subordinate to, and guided by, the divine hand.
so yeah... time to apply leave for the 12th of may!
a second thing ive been wanting to do is start a series of blog entries on what i've learnt at work so far. i'd hate to forget any of the lessons that i've learnt while i've been here, and there are so many of them...
as a closing note, watch Bamboo Blade. a recent work of anime, this short series focusses on a high school kendo club and its members. and thats probably all i can say without blowing the plot, after all its classic slice-of-life genre stuff. the brilliance lies in how this series has fun, advances plot and yet doesn't take itself too seriously. there's emotional development, yet not too treacly and emo, great shinai-work, and they even created a whole faux Super Sentai show for the lead character to idolise! enough blurb! get thee to Veoh!
