The Whirlwind that is my life...

has been filled with internship at a hospital in which I have been given both respect and opportunity. I had done my first internship at that very same hospital and I am amazed at the difference a year has made. Where once I knew nothing, now I know next to nothing, lol. jk. I am able to bring patients in, explain the test to them, and perform everything for the test except to inject the actual radionuclide.

In class today, I drew first blood. Yes, really. I drew blood for the first time and was successful at it and didn't hurt the patient. I was psyched! After ten minutes I reminded myself that that was one person who happened to have very good veins, close to the surface. Before the 7 weeks is up, we have to draw from everyone. There is one particular person that has already announced that she is difficult. So, we will see how good I am as the weeks go by.

The cats are getting along. They are not bosom buddies, but, hey they are two males. At least they can walk by each other and not attack. I left home with the two of them in the same area for 4 hours and I came back to no tragedies, no toppled furniture or broken lamps. I think it is terrific. In time, I hope they can become fond of each other and be good company.

Rescuing Micah has made me feel so good. He is such a dear. How anyone could move on and just abandon a cat at a shelter is a shame. He had just stopped grooming himself a few days before I got to him. He had been there since April of this year. Now, in these few short days he looks wonderful, clean and plays with toys.

Carlton was a little insulted and wouldn't pay any attention to me when I called him for a few days, but he is back to himself now. If I had a camera, I would post a picture, but I have to wait until someone with a camera comes around.
