A little Carnival

<p>Preparing for Jordan has been an adventure in itself. So as not to feel completely overwhelmed, I took a little break this weekend and rendevouzed with my little brother at Atlanta's version of Carnival.  I danced, ate good, authentic carribean food and laughed until it hurt! Today I recovered by lounging at the pool and watching old movies while napping on the couch. </p>
<p>Things at work have been rather tense lately and as my census rises so does patient acuity. I have one patient who I have seen on three separate occasions and it has only been on his third visit that he has presented with encopresis. ENCOPRESIS! In my group room no less!  Did I conjure the shit or what? So now I am charged with uncovering the etimology of this new symptom and treating the child all before leaving for Jordan in three weeks. But of course the real challenge is how to do it all expressively... this would be a very interesting case presentation.  Stay tuned!
