Camber's Road







Camber's long road has achieved another milestone. We dropped her off at college 10 years ago. It was difficult to leave her behind in KC. She spent 6 years, year round in getting her BS and MD at the same time. It was a new and exciting time for her. At times she felt it would never end. Before you know it she was married and getting her degree. One picture shows Camber and her father testing driving a sports car, she settled for a Tercel instead. The graduation pictures were the conclusion of her KC road.

It was off to Rochester, NY. It was time for her residentcy. Med school was hard but the 90 hour work weeks were harder in many ways. Shifts that were always changing, it was hard to get a normal sleeping schedule. At times she felt like she was always tired, never quite rested. The 24 hour shifts take their toll at times. She learned much and gain confidence in her abilities. If there was difficult case with a child she was called on many times to handle it because of these skills. While in Rochester they added to the family, Sylvester and Sadie. They are great company. During this time there is always a need to have interests outside of the work, in Camber's case making quilts was one of these.

Congratulation Camber on your perserverance and your accomplishment of getting through it. The page is now turning to the next stage of your life. Congrats and job well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you saved a copy of this blog because it is a really good summary of many years of long hard work. I may be slow in reading these blogs but I am going to try to do better because there is important information coming across. I can't believe how many productive years have slipped by. Great report.
