Work

Work has been busy. Minus some of my on call nights which have not been busy. Much to my enjoyment and sorrow. Enjoyment because I ddn't have to do anything, sorrow because I didn't get $50 for each emergency.
However, I've been busy doing some crazy surgeries. CB has diagnosed not one but TWO GDVs this week. Both went to surgery which I assisted with.
I also removed a large patch of skin from a cat the week before last. This cat was super awesome and had been seen multiple times for a non-healing wound on the side. I worried that it might not be something good since we had seen the cat before. There was not only a wound but an area of very thin, fragile skin. Originially I was just going to take a sample but wasn't sure that the skin could hold stiches so I removed the whole area. Unfortunately, it came back as a sarcoma. Sad for the cat. We'll just see if the tumor comes back.
I removed a large firm tumor from a dog's leg. It came back as a sarcoma too.
I finally got to do an enucleation-my favorite surgery.
There have been c-sections (two), cherry eyes (one), tail amputation on an adult dog (one), hindlimb amputation (one cat and one dog) and then all of the multiple routine things.
This clinic really keeps me busy. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad.

The weather is getting chilly and fall is in the air. I like it! Fall is easily my favorite time of year. I don't like that winter follows it.

Joe found a job that he likes a lot more than the cheese factory. He's doing such a good job that he has recently been transferred to the night shift. Its going to be so hard. I hope though that he can get some seniority before we start having kids and can be moved to the day shift again.

Money has been particularly scarce around here. We have $9 in our bank account. Its getting better (or will be soon) because Joe is employed and I have an emergency bonus coming. Its hard for me to think about the things I want to buy with said bonus because I realize the smart thing to do is to save it. SAVE IT ALL! Unfortunately, I also have my student loan coming due soon.
