Happy spring

Good morning from New Zealand. It is Sunday 8am. We have just had daylight savings time, so we are now 17hrs ahead of all you folks in New England.

First week of work in the books. I started to see my own patients on Wednessday, taking them from the Urgent care que. I am allowed to take as much time as needed to deliver care. The computer system and all drugs having different names has slowed me considerable. However, the patients here are very understanding and just glad to get in. This area has had a terrible shortage of physicians and some patients have been waiting 3-6mo for an appt.

I will get the hang of it and the group is very supportive. All my Ma's and Nurses would love to see me fumbling over my own Blood pressures, temps and rooming my own patients. I miss my old office.

Amie is working hard to find a job, lots of resumes going out. There has been good response and she was even offered a postion with 5-6 yr olds. Not really what she is looking for, but nice to know her skills are sought after.

Ok, so for the important news. We got surf boards yesterday. Found a great shop and picked up two boards. Long board for Amie, she got a great 9'1" Mctavish. I picked up a short board. Now we just need waves that work for us. Yesterday was beautiful with Head to Head and a half size. Big Hallow waves, but too much swell, had to sit this one out. We are getting the lay of the land though and will find a good spot for each day soon.

Ok, we are heading back to the water. We will take pics of the town and our house and add them soon.

Hey a Happy Birthday to my Nephew Leo.

Cheers.

Chris and Amie
