Let's Celebrate

The two weeks are up; I'm now off the rotation that tried to kill me. Not without a parting gift from a client through. Yesterday, I told my client during their evening visit that since everything medical had been discussed I would call them in the am to let them know how the pup did overnight. I got a page a little after midnight. Thinking my patient was crashing I hopped up and started dressing while I called ICU. False alarm, the owners had called and decided they needed a midnight briefing on their pup. Seriously???? You had just seen the pup a few hours ago. Not only that, but a fellow student on overnights tried to tell them the dog was doing great and that I'd call in the am but they had to hear it from me. He's looking at the pup and I'm at home, so that makes complete sense. Wow, am I ever glad to be done. Not my cup of tea.

Today I'm headed to Albany to get my tooth chip fixed. I chipped it passing a nasogastric tube on a horse; not too many people get to say that. I'm also going to try to see the new Bond movie with a couple old friends. Should be good, too bad I'm exhausted. (Oh, Nissa started vomiting after the midnight call, not sure why but I have to keep a close eye on her for a few days).

Yesterday I got a visit from a law buddy who happened to be driving by Ithaca. What are the chances of that? It was great to see him and meet his new girlfriend. I still can't believe he just swung by, but I really enjoyed getting to see someone not at all related to clinics. And on Friday the alumni magazine for my other grad program interviewed me. Guess I'm going to be one of the students that they highlight in the spring edition. It was fun to talk law but weird to talk just about myself for over an hour. Think that is all the gossip on me for the last week. Hmm, guess I managed to fit in more then I thought.
