• Not much to report today.  Hand is slowly healing.  It hurts like hell, though.  When a co-worker touches my finger to help me bandage, it REALLY hurts.  But it is getting better.  The antibiotics are at a REALLY high dosage.  Doreen told me to lessen it, but I've already taken 3 or 4 doses at this amount.  Lowering my dosage could actually help any bacteria hanging out in there, so I'm just gonna keep going with it.  It's 2000 mg bid (twice daily) which is a lot.  Hell, when I had the reduction done, I think the Cephalexin I was on was only 500 mg tid (3 times) for only 3 or 4 days.  This is Clavamox (Augmentin), which is a lesser antibiotic than Cepha, but I don't need a big gun like Cepha & I don't think that I need 4000 mg total considering that I'm at my lightest weight ever    Whatever, as long as it heals, I don't care 

  
  

  Work wasn't slow, but the day dragged.  I'm pretty wiped tonight.  Nothing too exciting except for a client who practically molested me in the room!    I set up a room with this cocker spaniel.  Got the history & got everything set for a doctor.  Larkin goes in with me (She just graduated from vet school, she's like 26, I often view her more as a friend than a "superior").  So, we go in, and I'm TRYING to hold the dog for Larkin.  The woman keeps trying to grab him & restrain him herself.  In the process, she "brushes" against my left breast 3 times.  Then Larkin needs to empty the anal glands.  So, we tell the woman that I need to hold onto the dog for this.  Again, her hand meets my left breast as she hands him over to me.  So now I'm holding the dog, the woman is right next to me, on my left by the dog's head.  She's petting the dog with her left hand & then proceeds to put her right arm around ME.  She was literally HUGGING & SQUEEZING me!  Larkin & I couldn't look at each other, or we would have just burst out laughing.  As Larkin is doing her thing, the dog begins to squirm (obviously).  As he's moving around, I feel my left elbow getting really close to the woman's neck, so I told her it might be better if she didn't lean on me because I couldn't hold onto him well & I might elbow her in the throat.  She says ok & moves herself & then proceeds to have her right hand on the dog's head or neck, which was, of course, by my left boob.  She was petting something & it wasn't the dog!  LOL.  Yes, it was creepy, but it was funny as hell.  LOL...Never a dull moment at this job!    I said yesterday it never ceases to amaze me.  I meant that the medical aspect of this job was amazing, but that clearly applies to the clientele as well!  LOL.

  
  

  Well, I need to go soak my hand, give myself my weekly facial, shower & get some other random stuff done.  Have a good night, all.  Stay well, stay warm.  Blessed be & much love to all of you!
