What a crazy week I've forgotten what it is like to work 60hrs + a week. There is a reason I quit doing it
Wow that was a tough week. Started monday night with a difficult horse owner and difficult horse. Cost me three hours of my life and a sore chest.. Tuesday busy and then at 4pm left for calving difficulties. Pulled out two calves two different ways. Wednesday morning went to stitch up a horse real quick but horse never got sedated. Thought to myself what is going on. Decided to look at drug bottle oh yeah the sedation drug was out of date by a year. That explained a lot about my farm calls so far. I just thought it was fault. Gave up and would return later got to clinic had two snake bites waiting and a sick foal who needed a transfusion and we were short staffed. Went back and stiched the horse up at 7. Left at 8:30pm then got an emergency farm call at midnight. Friday morning did a c-section on a cow in am then a two hour attempt to repair a very broken radius on a dog. Saturday was the official vet for the chinchilla christmas horse races. I worked in am until 11 then rushed to racetrack. It was muddy raining and the last two races had some injuries. Did feel kind of important when I stopped the last race because I was fixing a horse and they had to wait on me before could proceed. It was just like an american horse race all the girls got dressed up and it was a big party. Had a quiet day on call today but it has absolutely poured nonstop today. Hope next week starts right. I cant believe christmas is a few days away. I will be on call until the dec 30 but all the store swill be closed so do not know what I'll do.
