Friday wasn't any better.

I worked even more! she had me help with surgery! the first catheter I butt-scratched (that was hard enough in itself) but I held for the 2nd catheter. he was all of 6# and had crap veins so it was a 'no go' but I held off and restrained and did all those things. I held for blood pulls. I held for temperatures (on 2 mildly angry cats..)  I was back and forth several times so didn't start on "my" paperwork for many, many hours. all in all, I did 11.46 hours - not how I wanted my day to go. especially for a Friday, it was still only a "Thursday". at least I did get a break at lunch (extended time for lunch) to pick up my prescription. my head was hurting by the time I got home and was in such a crap mood.

then Saturday, up early again for work. R wasn't even awake. I was very careful to not wake him when I got up, I kept the pets quiet and left silently. I tried to stick to just my paperwork and keep my light off for longer. I still helped with appointments (doing the first appointment! an 8 month 79# doberman puppy!) but tried to hide in my office as much as possible. we ended up with another emergency so I helped with xrays and catheter, but he wasn't feeling well and was sedated making my life a little easier. I was able to focus more on my files and faxes and records. it was nice. I still did 11.41 hours because I had to find all the files. by the end of the night, I was missing 1 file because we had so many emergencies and surgery files. so, I worked 33 hours for the week. that would be a typical work when I'm not sick. so if I had worked Monday - if I'd not had an MRI - I would have had normal crazy insane work hours.. 

Sunday flew by.. a blur.. what did I do? I don't even remember.. what was it? I hardly slept. with my new meds, I can't take any antihistamines. I can't take any sleeping pills. I can't take any vitamins. so.. I can't breathe at night because apparently, I actually need my Zyrtec. and, I can't bend over, can't be lateral or the brain pain is extreme. my night med was changed from 25mg to 50mg. my day med is new. i take that every 5 hours if needed. i don't have many so at 4 hours it would last 3 days.. i've been waiting 5 hours to take a 2nd.. then that is iet. i only take 2 a day.. so they do last me - but they don't really work. not that i can tell. i am supposed to see the doctor again after a week so that would be this thursday. 

we went to the dmv today to get our Real IDs and go grocery shopping - and we bought him new shoes.
I was hoping to go to Cosco for an eye exam but there wasn't enough time.
