ellie's rear

alright, alright. i may have overreacted a tad bit yesterday in rushing princess eleanor rose to the veterinarian's office. i am pretty frustrated with myself, because i do call myself a medical student. i should have some level of critical thinking and medical reasoning that would have led me to the ultimate conclusion of what the bump on eleanor's rump was. i mean, really. 

the second we stepped into the examination room, i smacked my face and exclaimed to the vet tech 'oh my goodness! i feel just like a regular blockhead! the rabies shot! of course!'

the sweet vet tech smiled and shook her head and said 'sweetie, don't you worry. it happens to everyone!'

the sweet vet tech and dr vet took a look at my ellie anyway, and confirmed that yes, a recent rabies vaccination indeed can cause a localized mass at the injection shot and that sure, i should just monitor for two weeks and give them a call back. it's better to be safe than sorry.

i apologized profusely for wasting their time, and also thanked them. on the way out, the sweet vet tech said 'are you a pediatrician? you just seem like you'd be a great pediatrician.'


what a sweet thing to say. i took it as a compliment and chalked up the afternoon as worth it.


long story short, e and i are ok over here, for now. other than the spanking that my dear wildcats received last night. next season. always, next season.

i'm off to do things.

xoxo,

me

[p.s., in other news, i'm slowly trying to purge my facebook of anyone who i wouldn't recognize in the street or anyone who i wouldn't want to loan one hundred bucks to. this could take awhile. occasionally i see a post that just gets my blood pressure really boiling, and then i realize life is too short to look at stuff on facebook that makes my blood pressure boil. so, a purge it is. heaven help me.]
