Today is a national holiday, the Emperor's birthday. I was on night duty last night. My hospital is open all day, including at night, every eight days. (See http://kumo.typepad.jp/weblog/2005/12/every-eight-day.html) Though the last night was not the due day, I had to stay late at the ward. Three epilepsy patients are hospitalized now, and two of them brought on a fit last night. I couldn't go to bed until three o'clock. About ten patients saw me this morning. All of them had some wounds and those wounds need daily gauze exchange. I had to get up by eight o'clock. I got back home at about ten o'clock. I was so sleepy and took a long nap. I felt I wasted time. I'm very sorry. I don't like wasting time.
