I am about to start my VEGF assay on my pregnant cat urine. Everyone keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck! I will need it for sure.

Well, I am out in VA now. I should have all my data by the weekend. I found the samples I need to run today and tomorrow I am going to do some pipette practicing since it has been a year since I have done any. I think I will run my assays on Friday. Then after that I need to write, write and then write some more.

Hello Jordan! I am not sure you will read this but I wanted to let you know I missed you and will see you in 2 weeks. Be good and do what you are told.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this Nina... I saw a Series of Unfortunate Events Magic 8 ball at Waldenbooks today and I thought of you:) The things were all depressing though so I didn't get it. Granted they were funny, but I think you need cheeriness after anesthesia rotation.

That was a great cheer! Sorry about the gender crisis Nina!

I am so tired right now. I am just glad that this rotation is over. Just when you get into a groove the 3rd week of the rotation it is time for a new one. That was a fun bday dinner Nina. It was great to get out of the house and clinics for a while. We should do that more often.

Next week I go to DC to try and finish getting my data. I hope everything goes well. This rotation was exhausting with all the ICU cases I had last week. I am still recovering. I work ICU on Sunday and then am done. So... I got to do 2 spays and a neuter on this rotation. Funny things really. The 1st spay I got off of linea alba on so it was very bloody due to the muscle I cut through. The neuter had a big huge seroma form in the scrotum - it looked like he still had his "eggs" when I sent him home. And to top it off, the dog I spayed today was pregnant! It was just as much of a shock for me as it was for the owners. Can't anything ever go smoothly for once?? Why does McMurphy's Law seem to rule my life???

Nina, Nina, she's our man!
If she can't do it!
NO ONE can!

That's the only cheer I could think of for you! Maybe tomorrow I can make up a haiku about it or something.

I signed up for a dental on Monday and a spay on Friday and hopefully this time the clients show up. At least I know the dental will! It sucks to not have a case. I did get to watch the PDA surgery today and also a nephrectomy but it would have been better if I would have had my own case. Got my pet health grade today.
