60 hours I won't get back

All that stress for nothing.

Turns out our first case didn't finish til 12ish, and due to anaesthetic delays the 'big' case I was talking about didn't start til 2pm.  So after all that worrying, I ended up transferred to another theatre.  Simply because my shift finished at 4:30pm today, and there was no point me being in a case that long, for so short a time.

And then I ended up involved in an inservice for over an hour - so there went MY afternoon!  Talk about stressing for no reason!

But on a funnier note, I'm going back to yesterday.

Ended up meeting friends of ours at Nudgee Beach for some 'off-leash' time for both our dogs.  Dot is a Kelpie x Jack Russell, so about the same size as Vox but with a lot more effervescence.  So off they went for about an hour and a bit, driving each other crazy, getting hideously dirty in the process of finding out they BOTH hate water, and going to check out every other dogfight going on in the vicinity.  Lots of fun!

I got told off for being a 'helicopter' (being too much involved with Vox's interactions with other dogs), so I sat and pretended not to be stressed over my poor little doggy getting harrassed by much bigger, much more excitable canines.  Ah well - at least we know Vox and Dot will get on whilst they live together for the 2 days we're in Sydney.

Here's hoping Vox and Dot don't work out their 'anatomical differences' in that timeframe - God knows we don't need puppies!!!
