I'm EdLongshanks wife. My husband has been throwing himself into this pre-med stuff, and that's alright with me. That's what he does.
I've heard horror stories of what life is going to be like if and when he gets into medical school and later starts a residency. Are the horror stories accurate or exaggerated? I'd like to have some idea of what to prepare for.
When Ed and I were young, I understood what it was like to stay home with toddlers while Ed worked long hours pounding the keyboard at work. He'd come home after working 2 or even 3 days straight and I had nothing to talk to him about except how many diapers I had changed.
Life is better for us now. In fact, I would say life is really good right now and I am not looking forward to change. But that doesn't mean that I am opposed to him going to school; I understand his desire to expand.
I just want to know what to expect.
