Hey there,
My husband is a 2nd year surgery resident at Tripler Army Med. Center here in Hawaii. This is our 5th year of marriage and active duty but our first in the Army, he transferred in from the Navy.
Please note that before you start reading this that I am extremely overtired and have PMS so if I sound like a negative Nancy, well, right now, I AM.
These 5 short years have included the following:
1 year of internship at Portsmouth Medical Center
1 year of an unaccompanied tour in Japan, where I stayed in Ohio (he was a Marine Battalion Surgeon on a GMO tour).
1.5 years of GMO-ing at Newport Ambulatory Care Center doing family practice.
15 months in a combat zone in Afghanistan.
So here we are in "paradise" thousands of miles away from friends, family and familiar looking food getting ready to celebrate our first Christmas together since..well, I know there has been ONE in the past five years but I can't swear which it was! For the first time since getting married, I admit it: I'M LONELY and this lifestyle is starting to get old...but we have 4.5 more years of residency (1 of those is a research year), probably a fellowship after that and well...you know the list goes on. And on. And on. And ON.
All that being said: I love my husband...but right now I kind of effing hate his JOB!!!!
I feel better now.
Have a merry christmas and
for listening.
