- My back is killing me. It started off as a minor backache during the summer when I was doing my surgical training at KFAFH. In Ramadan it started becoming more frequent and increased in intensity. Now with the grueling work load ever since college started again I find myself unable to make it through the day. My daily activities are limited and it’s scaring me as hell because as all physicians do, I think of the worst. This is very frightening especially when considering the fact that I want to become a surgeon and back pain is the last thing I want or need! I had an MRI and X-Rays done today and I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Inshallah everything’s just fine and I’m making a big deal out of nothing.
- I’m already stressing over the large percentage this year is going to count for out of the entire GPA. I have to be on top of my game and for many reasons, I just can’t seem to study as I would love to but hopefully things will change in the near future.
- I have gained weight! Now this is truly depressing lol I mean 5 kilos is not a small number!
- Artophilia is a talent show that is going to be held at King Abdul Aziz University hospital on the 28th and 29th of October in which various creations of doctors and medical, dentistry and allied medical sciences students will be displayed. It will include painting, photography and poetry. I was invited to join and I sent a couple of poems to be featured 
Feel free to drop by if you want.
- October is the breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are countless activities and campaigns going on all over Jeddah to support the cause and spread awareness among the residents here. Unfortunately I’m not involved in any of the campaigns in spite of my own wishes but I sure encourage you to go and learn about this killing disease that can be prevented and treated if caught early.
- October is also the month in which my sister and my mother are born 
So happy birthdays to two wonderful women. May they grace my life with their presence forever.
- The American presidential elections are just around the corner. I suppose I’ll write a special detailed post about this since I am one of the dedicated observers of this elections ever since it first started when the parties were trying to nominate a candidate each.
- Hmm… I’m sure I got more things to say but it’s getting late and I need to sleep so I can wake up early and check on my patients before we do the morning rounds!
So much stress so few people to choke
~don’t stress your self too much about your back because that will end up landing you in a worse position than you think you’re in right now!
~blah, weight is overrated. It’s all about fitness. So long as you can use your body for what you want, you should be happy
~October is Breast Cancer awareness month! That i didn’t know. Thanks for heads-up
