Eye Update

It's been another really long week starting with 2 lectures that didn't happen and finishing with a load of public health lectures and some equine soft tissue stuff.

Midweek I had to revisit the lovely eye doctor people and decide what is to be done. Basically the operation I had last year didn't work as it should and I still get double vision without the prism on my glasses. This usually isn't too much of a problem, except for when I attempt to do fine work, for example like operating. Small problem there.

So the plan is to cut me up once more. We will start by doing bad things to the side that was operated on last time, then the lateral side. The next bit of the plan is where my problem lies - I have to wake up and take an eye test whilst they finish suturing my eyeball to make sure everything is lined up. I don't know how I'll react to this, but it probably won't go well for anyone involved. In order to combat me hitting anyone and running away there will be someone talking to me nicely and a big syringe of knockout juice on standby.

In the few days afterwards I'll have an eye full of blood (again) and be crying blood sometimes as it heals. Woo!! Roll on March. I'm going to terrify people on EMS.

Exam Results

Weeeeeeeee I passed the farm animal course.

I drew a picture of a smiley face, but it wasn't pleasant. Here's one someone else made earlier.

Horse Medicine

It's started!! So far it is going OK, but the horses aren't my thing. The first lecture series is in a book that's big enough to kill a horse with 4 more similar sized topics to come and only 11 weeks to learn it all. Not that anyone is starting to panic just yet.

Belonging

How to tell that a vet practice has accepted your presence:

Your name and preference of hot drink goes on the list in the kitchen.

Happy New Year

Once again I was on call, but it was quite quiet. Not too sure if this was due to the annual phone failure around midnight or just because everyone else was drunk. Last night only resulted in once call too. Go us!

It's been an annoyingly bitty week, but I got some good things done. Only 1 week of EMS before the evil horse lectures begin so I'll make the most of it.
