Aussie rules

This week has been ok. Getting used to the hospital and getting to know all the staff and wards slowly. They still won't let me anywhere near patients because I haven't had my second Chicken Pox vaccination. I find out tomorrow if my serum levels of the antibodies are high enough to give me immunity from the deadly virus. It is such a pain. In other hospitals they would let me have patient contact but if anyone came in with shingles I should run a mile....but not here. Other than that i'm sitting at a desk learning a lot about surgery, chemo and radiotherapy.

Anyway, I find out tomorrow at 11am what my fate is....fingers crossed.

Aside from work, the girls have planned a surprise for my 22nd birthday this Friday. I had a vague idea that it was something to do with an Aussie Rules match (they wrote a summary of the rules in my birthday card) but wasn't quite sure what they had planned. That was until I met one of their supervisors this afternoon at the other hospital. The first thing she said to me was..."so you're going to the MCG on Friday" (the Wembley Stadium of Melbourne). This instantly destroyed a week's worth of whispering and secrets for the girls. I found it funny but the woman was pretty mortified when she realised what she had done and saw how annoyed the girls were, lol. She couldn't stop apologizing.

The match is sold out so it should be an amazing atmosphere, even though i probably won't have a clue when or why to cheer.

I'll let you know how it goes.
