Hope you’re having a lovely weekend.
To follow up on my post from Friday night, we received more bad news about Lily’s knee this weekend. Our vet was able to get in touch with an orthopedic surgeon and his quote for the procedure was $1,400 more than the quote from our vet’s office. So it looks like we will be scheduling the procedure with our vet for sometime this week. LB is currently high on mucho pain meds:
Despite this news, we have had a pretty good weekend. We got up early Saturday morning and volunteered at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. This food bank serves over 33 million pounds of food to 14 counties in our area.
They had a bunch of volunteers and K and I had a pretty good time. We started out the morning by unloading bread racks off of a delivery truck and packing different types of breads into boxes to be distributed to those who need it. After that, we sorted through bins of medication and discarded anything that had expired. The volunteers got a lot accomplished in a few short hours and I hope to volunteer there on a regular basis in the future.
After lunch we decided to swing on over to Dilworth for lunch. We went to Cantina 1511 where I had the best Mexican food I have ever had in my life.
I’m gearing up to finish my LAST WEEK OF CLINICALS! Woooooooooo
I’m excited but I actually have a ton of work left to do. I had some assignments designated to each clinical rotation (IPC, LTC, OPC) but then I have some things that I just had to finish by the end of my entire time in clinical. So I pushed that stuff off until the end. Here’s what I have left to do…
- 1 quiz
- 1 paper (a consumer article that I’m writing on the paleo diet)
- 3 case studies <– kinda dropped the ball on these!
- Final comprehensive exam
I was feeling overwhelmed yesterday but then I remembered how far I have come since I first started this rotation. Look at all of my assignments!
My goals today are to finish my paper, head to the gym and roughly plan out what we’ll be eating for dinner this week. We are hanging out watching the panther’s game right now.
Hope you have a great week!
