Home again

It has been quite a few hours since I was home last. Not quite a full day, but close enough. The morning was spent at uni doing all kinds of fun pathology based things, climbing in the afternoon, then work this evening.

Pathology was fun, a few cases of Johnes' disease, some lymphosarcoma, and quite a few cases of fluke this week. The gross pathology is getting better, but histopathology is rather scary as always. Too many cells!

Climbing was great fun. My first real time outside with Colin. He was placing the gear and lead climbing with me following up later, removing the gear from the route, and him up top belaying. We chose some difficult routes to play with including a wonderful slab that lead on to an overhang, then up to the top. The second route didn't have an overhang, but a more difficult slab path that required a few dodgy manoeuvres to stay safe.

Work was interesting as always. I hadn't been there 20 minutes before some idiot managed to damage himself crossing the road and wander in to the bar. A few small lacerations and cuts, he will be fine. My medical skills were not even slightly tested when cleaning the wound and applying a bandage to the head, but interacting with a patient was useful. It's been a while since I last engaged anyone in a first aid situation. Especially humans. Can't trust them.

The rest of work was uneventful, but lasted a while. Now I plan to sleep before more work tomorrow morning and indeed all day. Fun fun.
