Yeah Chiqui , you are so right . May be I need to handle stress without being stressed out smiling face and Thanks for your kind wordsnod , I will ask my husband to make me dinner today as I am special grin.. Hehe . I am sure you would be such a sweet and a mature mom and ofcourse a great doc .

I had applied in IM and FM , mostly in midwest states. Waiting for good news on the match daynod. I hope your son is doing better now and you are enjoying this time with your family before residency starts.

Taurus: I will keep my fingers crossed for your match. Thanks for asking about my son- he is doing much better.

Ummah: How are YOU feeling? I applaud you for having the guts to have a third child. But I sure can appreciate why you are going to bed every night in tears. Hopefully things will become a little more manageable soon. I wish there was something I could do to help make things easier. All I can think to say is - don't try to do everything yourself - you are human. Get as much help as you can, for as many things as you can, from wherever you can get it. Sounds like you need just a little more rest. Until you can get some, receive a hug and some well wishes from a far away friend . . .me.

chiqui.... I am starting to fall in love with you! (just kidding) but really seems like you have the very perfect words at the right time for all of us...
Uma I also offer my help if you need it.... really I am praying that this third baby will be your biggest blessing yet... maybe the only other thing I can add to chiqui's comment is something that I heard from mary poppins (my daughter's favorite character) "if you reach for the stars all you get is the stars... but if your reach for heaven you get the stars from it" so Just look at the bigger blessing and things will fall in place for you very soon.
And taurus... I am sending you my MOM POWER!!! you will see we will both match... you know? we are to sexy to be left unmatched wink

chiqui will be a great psychiatrist! nod

Thank youuu Ana, I just love your confidence smiling face. May God bless us with our desired positions.

Hey Chiqui, thanks to you tooo.... I am bringing a big champagne bottle for the match day , will raise a big toast for all of us nod !!!




  #181

I will join with a iet coke!...
BTW I just choped mi finger off trying to get some sections of mouse kidney.... I DO NOT want to do this anymore!!!!!
there, I said it... catarsis is very good thing to do..

  #182

Anagarcia: Mouse kidney???? No mi'ja. I though I had it bad having to make soup from all the bony parts of hens and cows for my son (who, by the way, turned 13 months yesterday and has been 100% better since we eliminated dairy, wheat, fruit and rice from his diet). Yesterday I had to purchase 3 live hens, find someone to kill them, pluck them and clean them and then spend the afternoon boiling them down into stock to cook potatoes and carrots in. Now - before I go to the hospital, I have to cook up the 3 little hen livers. Not exactly mouse kidney. Not exactly foi gras either. What can I say. These are the things you do for your kids.

Have a nice day everyone.

LOL.... you really made me laugh chiqui....I think I will not complain anymore about my mouse kidneys ... I rather do that than start from scratch for a hen broth grin
it is truth you end up doing very unusual things to make sure your kids stay healthy and happy. so CONGRATULATIONS on you success with the hen broth and really on getting your child back to health... it is great that you found out what it was.

and the other ladies? how is the nause going these days? anybody is working with any other animal organ?
Arlete .... how are things going?...

  #184

Everything under control up here. Going to the gym almost every day. Giving frozen chicken to the kids (no live hens for me, chiqui!). Talking about hens, my father raises some, names them, then kills and eats them, that is so barbaric for me, but he laughs at my reaction to it! grin I mean, does he really need to even name them? confused I asked him if he goes: "Today, I am eating little Mary for dinner"!!!! He only laughs...

I am still waiting for the CS results on the 26th, but I am very confident about it. Already studying for step 3, love those ccs!

Kisses for all you, moms! smiling face

hi arlete your posts are always inspiring,thansk for sharing your experiences.
hey Please let me know ,do I need a certificate to work as EKG technician.can i get that course done in community college, Dis you work in a hospital as EKG tech? thanks arlete sweetheart for guidance.GL for st3

  #186

Arlete and chiqui are the inspiring moms in this threath.... hats off to you girls wink

  #187

Shaina:

I didn't need anything. I am a cardiologist in Brazil and my subspecialty is arrhythmias and pacemakers. My mentors in Brazil were teachers to my boss at Cleveland Clinic Florida, so he knew I would be able to be an EKG tech (and edit holters and evaluate pacemakers and ICDs, like I did). I got this job through the Internet. So I know nothing about the couses for it, I am sorry... I worked only at the clinic side, because at the time I had a 7 month-old, a 2 year-old and a 5 year-old, so working only during weekdays and no holidays worked perfect for me!

Good luck! Thanks for the compliments. smiling face

  #193

Puchpal - I just posted a joke on the psych forum day before yesterday!!!! I read it every day though. Like I said, I've gotten kind of superstitious and don't want to do or say anything to "jinx" myself.

Moms and moms to be - stay cool over the weekend. Gotta run - pediatrician appointment this afternoon.

GL... I dont want to jinx myself either ! lets keep posting!

  #195

Gosh my crush ujaala
and my guru saarika both are here on the forum .
and yes chiqui i did read that joke
but its so difficult to force the smile muscles to do the work
they are refusing to smile, and where in the lucky charm?

ujaala and saarika i miss you both smiling face
ALL MOMA"S i need your blessings, (and Ujaala is not my moma , its bad to have a crush on mom , so ill forget the fact grin )

  #196

Oh Puchpal - cry me a river! Remember a few months ago when you were pooping bricks because you didn't get very many interviews???? Didn't you then proceed to get a ton of interviews and everything worked out OK. I think the force is with you. You will probably match without having to go to scramble. I predict you will match within your top 5 choices. And on the off chance that you don't match, you will almost surely get something in the scramble - if you got as many interviews as you did, it means that in general, the programs consider you a viable candidate. So relax and have a few margaritas this weekend. A little tequila never hurt anyone. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I hope you all have your fingers crossed for me to because, although I prematched, if my stupid ass university doesn't come through with my paperwork on time I may lose my spot, which would cause me to probably rupture an aneurysm or something, leaving my poor children motherless.

Anagarcia - breath. The universe wants you to be an OB. At least I do.

Taurus82 - relax a little. If the palpitations don't go away, go get them checked out.

Arlete - hi!

Shaina: Nice to have you with us.

Hi, chiqui! smiling face

Shaina: I didn't understand your question. I worked from 8 to 5, weekdays, no holidays, during 20 months. Is that what you asked? I made $11 an hour, barely paid the daycare, but it was worthy! wink
