Urgency

Yesterday over eleven hours. We are doing all the cases that weren't quite urgent enough before. Nothing easy, nothing routine, so they are all taking a bit longer, skewing the times. On top of the inhalation anesthetics which take longer. There are some additional blocks, but a lot of people cannot tolerate being awake, even with a surgical block and sedation. It takes a certain sort of toughness of mind and stillness of body. The sort that a childhood in catholicism instills. I could model for art classes on that ability.

Rolled my back and legs, which I should have done Monday as well. I have this solid foam roller, and the process is a bit intense. I always feel better after I'm done, which is hard to remember before I start.

The garden needs water this morning.
