@St...Thank you for the sweet, positive comments! <br /><br />@Stacie, my dad switched halfway during his Family Practice residency to Anesthesiology and he likes what he's doing, it's a good field :) <br /><br />@Sara, it's been hard giving up things like Diet Coke, but you're right, friends will help me through this one<br /><br />@Rochelle Lea, if the kids from Jersey Shore can get a show and spin-offs, I should get one too. I promise my life is interesting lol.<br /><br />@Tahmina, I'm falling into a rhythm already, but it still needs a little bit of polishing :)Mrs. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203000504655652613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741749161353390550.post-12634363619952131982011-06-25T18:15:31.552-07:002011-06-25T18:15:31.552-07:00So, I had no idea what I was getting myself into w...So, I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I moved hours away from my home to follow my DrF for his first day of PGY-1. <br /><br />I, too, felt like I was sending my kid off to school and we don't have kids yet. And I worried also: would he get lunch? Would he get enough time to eat? What time would he be done? I have to do this for what now-- 3 years???<br /><br />It will fly by and you'll fall into a rhythm. The house gets cleaned (always by me), and we've learned where to save to live off of his paycheck, and my paltry part time job while I finish my degree. <br /><br />Oh, and the other day, I had the pleasure of "educating" two girls who made the comment "I wish I was with a doctor so that I could live the high life". Man, once I was finished "explaining", they had changed their minds!

I hope you get those diet cokes and best friends that will help you through it all :-)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016963796201775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4741749161353390550.post-71533467681334200012011-06-24T15:10:42.368-07:002011-06-24T15:10:42.368-07:00Uh-oh - My husband took me up on that, as many of ...Uh-oh - My husband took me up on that, as many of you know. He matched in Radiology, we bought a house moved in. He did orientation.<br /><br />He started Rads on July 1. He came home from work that night and told me that he did not want to be a Radiologist.<br /><br />He left the program and we moved to Florida for him to do Anesthesiology with Mayo.<br /><br />I too worry about him going hungry during those rotations where food isn't provided. I never feel like the lunch I pack is going to be enough to sustain him!<br /><br />Enjoy your short time in the big city.
