Guess who? It's me!

After a month long hiatus, it would appear that I feel like writing again. Or maybe it's that my creativity reservoir is bursting at the seams and is threatening to destroy me if I don't find an outlet. I think we will find over the next few days that is simply not the case. Creativity is not my strong suit. My brother got the artistic, good looking, athletic genes, and I got... personality? And really, let's face it, he has way more personality than I ever will. But I can do one thing, I can write. Yes, my strong suit is something a monkey can be trained to do, but you gotta hold on to what you can.

The real reason I'm back is because I'm finding that I need to have some goals this month. While I do get to have the month off in anticipation of my daughter being born, she hasn't come yet and quite frankly I'm a little bored. And so I turn to the web. Sorry.

I have a great Physiology Friday post for tomorrow all about urinating. It's pretty awesome. Stay tuned. Also, I have been collecting funny pictures for the past month, so I haven't been too lazy and I do plan to share these daily. And finally, marriage posts, medical stories, and other things that interest me will continue to appear on a daily basis.

Update

So my son, who is 16 months old, had blueberries for breakfast. He would smash them under his index finger while pretending they were crying out in pain. I've raised a sadistic tyrant.

Anyway, cardiology is keeping me running around early mornings and late nights. It's a lot of fun and my doc is amazing. Seriously, if you need a cardiologist, I would go to him, most of the nurses at Mercy Gilbert would choose him (according to a very informal poll) and he's where I would send my family if they have heart problems. But I don't have time to post regularly. The good news is, I almost have a Physiology Friday post ready. So let there be rejoicing in the land. My son may be a tyrant, but I'm a benevolent dictator. And I'm still in charge, for now.

Surgery first

Wednesday's Wedded Bliss article is coming soon. I have to go watch a hysterectomy. Updates soon.

My biggest concern

I'm having a daughter in June. I think she is going to be a nun when she grows up.

Blueprints

So some of you have been wondering about the direction of this blog. "Is it just gonna be a bunch of lame pics that you stole from other places?" "Is it gonna be lame all the time?" "Did you take a class in writing lame content at an online school?"

First of all, you people really like to use the word "lame" a lot. Secondly, thanks for your concerns. They are filtered into my junk box by my spam filter, so please, no more hate mail. And finally, yes, yes I will be putting original content on this blog. Have no fear. For those of you who like the lame pics, don't worry, they are gonna stick around too.

Here's a little of what you can expect going forward:

Monday - some story relating to my current rotation with some cool medically inclined stories and lots of blood and guts

Tuesday - list day. I will put out a list of things like - 6 ways to make your minivan a little more manly, or 7 reasons you should wear a man purse

Wednesday - will have to do with wedded bliss and how marriage doesn't have to suck

Thursday - I don't have anything good for Thursdays yet. If you have any good ideas, leave them in the comments

Friday - will be Physiology Friday - in which I will try to take a complex part of human physiology and explain why it is cool for the everyman (and everywoman)

On the weekends you should just count yourself lucky if I manage to post a pic or two.
