First Week back, could it be more awful?

OK now I understand the first week is hard but I had a ton of extra perks to go along with it,
Tuesday was great I taught my first class, .. little bumps here and there but left with a sore throat.

Wednesday was VA clinic and to continue I had no voice in the morning and a runny nose. Not to mention my patients were a 1B and Class 5 so I feel like I have wasted so much time because I so slow trying to remember  where everything is. Well I get home exhausted and find that my dog's face has blown up like a balloon and we don't know why? So we pop her a Benadryl and call it a night because I am beyond tired.

Thursday I get to have the pleasure of clinic again with a extremely runny nose and now a banging headache. My patient in the morning cancelled so I saw thankfully Stefanie's patients daughter... what do you know another 1B grrr. Well I continue on and I'm really excited for my afternoon because in 2006 she was a class 4! Sweet I'm so excited until she shows up and I look at the Xrays.... that midtown had gotten too before I could take them grr! Then Professor Perry very brutally crashes my dreams and tells me she should have never been a class 4 to begin with! NOOO! yet again another Class 5 but I think if I finish her fast I can get someone else in... but that becomes impossible becuase she failed to tell me she had a knee joint replacement and she didn't know she had to pre-med. LOL so after she showed up at 1:00pm I now get to wait out another hour LOL. Well I go home and find my dog is still a balloon head so I have to call my sister and hopefully she can drive us to the vet because no car for me. I finally get there and they give my dog even more medicine, a blood test that was random, and still not a clear diagnoses except " She may have an allergy," all fo rthe price of $120.00 dollars. Well by that time I'm even more exhausted starving and my husband finds me again asleep on the couch with my huge headache, cough, and runny nose. Not my week eh? well it keeps going...

Friday I get up give the dog medicine shower, clean, and run to the shuttle which is normally vacant but I find today there is a line for the shuttle all the way to UV dorms to go to school. Man! I'm going to be late for the screening but I have to try because running to school won't get me there any faster. So I wait in line feeling worthless when finally one of the bigger shuttles pulls up. So I race on and hope to make it to school on time. I just barely make it when of course they have started talking earlier and I'm lucky to have caught the last instructions. I figure people can fill me in on the way and I catch a ride with Tanya. The screenings went really well, besides the coughing and wheezing, but the kids were cute and I felt like I was truly helping. After I had my lunch of a fruit cup and then we were off again to the SADHA meeting. Man I hope I didn't look as miserable as I felt. I could barely breathe and I had such a hoarse voice that Dr. Hanson commented that I was a woman of the night lol. Although it was an excellent meeting I was extremely tired and in need of medicine and a good bed. Dr. Hanson then met with us for SL and finally I was able to get a ride home from the amazing Kayla and get semi rest. My pup was still out of it so I figured I'd let her out and then we could both sleep on the couch until my husband got home. So nitequil here I come, but of course my dog can't sit still and needs to run around 24/7; I don't get to rest I get to play for two hours with her and make sure she doesn't happen to have an accident on my floor as well as I'm feeling the drowsy euphoria of the medicine that is making me even more sick YUCK! Finally to my rescue Nate comes home and I can rest in piece. He was awesome! He walked in with take out, fed me, and sent me to bed...lol wow what a week...
So long story that wasn't quite so short, I'm back in business today reading and doing homework, hopefully the whole semester isn't like this :P wouldn't that be awful?
