No, it's a Visa. And the visa is through the same bank as my checking/savings accounts, so you wouldn't think it would take so long to sort out. They admitted it was their mistake and all that but I talked to six different people and none of them can speed the process along.
I do have my emergency savings account through a different bank, but of course, it takes 3 to 5 business days for money to transfer between banks, so that's not much of a help at the moment.

Minor rant, but my dog managed to get ahold of the dog skull he managed to try to chew like a month ago. Not sure how, as I moved it back out of his reach but it's in a ton of pieces and I'm super pissed about it. Going back to crating him from now on if he's going to pull this crap.

I can relate. My dog raids the trash at any opportunity. I have a trash can that has a locking lid, but if I forget to lock it...game on. He's surprisingly sneaky and agile for a 20 lb dog. Today I had a grocery bag of trash sitting on the table waiting to be taken out. In the past if a trash bag is sitting on the chair, he'll rip it open, but he hasn't gotten things up on the table. I ran to the store tonight, thought about crating him but decided since the trash was out of his reach it was okay. Come home 10 minutes later and he must have gotten up on the chair in order to get the bag off of the table because he's busy eating things. Moldy pie and chicken wing bones to be exact. So now we're on the watch for mycotoxin and bone foreign body signs. I'd make him vomit the pie but don't want to hurt his esophagus with chicken bones. All that plus he has inflammatory bowel disease and is 100% going to start vomiting around 4 or 5 am after this. I hope his chicken bones are small and digested enough that they don't cause a problem when he starts vomiting.

Could you write yourself a check from the emergency account and cash it at the regular bank? That's usually how I get around the delay with electronic transfers. It probably won't work if it's an actual savings account though, not just checking.

I think my laptop officially crashed tonight. It is a MacBook Pro I bought in 2012 before vet school. I cannot get anything to work and my girlfriend is helping me troubleshoot from 700 miles away. I drive home tomorrow. I hope I can get this fixed because I really don't want to have to buy another laptop. I did not budget for that this year...

Client came in with a young dog today and didn't think to tell us he had bloody stool until after me and another tech had already touched him (checking teeth, temp, whole nine yards). Sadly the dog tested positive for parvo. 🙁 but now both of us had to go home and shower and change cuz we don't have showers at work and we had to leave the new kid there by himself. Can today be over with already?

That's interesting you're required to go shower after handling a parvo dog. Where I worked we would just designate one tech (whichever one saw the appointment if possible) to take care of the dog for the rest of the day if we were keeping him/her there, and not touch any other puppies or unvaccinated dogs the rest of the day. And we would change our scrub top after the appointment, and always wear a gown when going into the isolation ward with the dog. I don't know enough to say if your way is better or overkill.

Really hard euthanasia today. I sobbed. Hard. For about an hour. RIP little kitty <3 I hope you enjoyed the tuna I brought you today and the cuddles I gave you before I needed to do the deed 🙁

Walmart pharmacy :headdesk:
After 15 minutes of being repeatedly placed on hold and spelling the drug multiple times, they couldn't tell me if they had SMZ's in stock and acted like they had never heard of the drug before. I spelled out SMZ, trimethoprim sulfa, bactrim, asked for the specific strength, and they had no idea what I was talking about.

Called the local pharmacy, he immediately asked what strength I wanted, tablets powder or liquid, and didn't even bat an eye when I told him the dose was 20 tablets twice a day. Less than five minutes to call in a prescription. And none of that asking for my NPI number crap. I love my local pharmacist.

Are they going to be covering your overdraft fees??

I would have completely lost it on them. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that BS.

My former coworkers are constantly adding me to MLM Facebook "parties" for stuff like LuLaRoe and all that. It's a little annoying and tacky (might as well be honest and say "buy me gifts for the hell of it, please!") but easy to ignore. They keep adding me even though I've never bought a single thing. But I just got a friend request from someone I've never met before and whose name I've never seen before. I couldn't see if we have any mutual friends, but her profile says she's a LuLaRoe consultant, and one of my coworkers liked one of her public posts. So this random stranger basically added me in the hopes that she might be able to extract some of the little money that I have for herself. Ugh. Freaking gross. I wish this trend of "leveraging" your social circle and any extensions thereof for personal gain would stop already. It just really rubs me the wrong way when people primarily see their family, friends, coworkers, and anyone else connected to them as potential marks to make money off of. Sugarcoating it with girly crap and "yay shopping!" and making people buy their own drinks and meals for the privilege of having someone sell stuff to you doesn't make it any less crass.

So far I have at least 7 patients to examine tomorrow morning before class starts at 7a...FML. That doesn't include the two stray creatures too that technically should be looked at in the morning but definitely won't be until after rounds. And the intern appears to be admitting more things overnight. Tomorrow is going to continue to be terrible. Glad its my Wednesday and not my Monday!

I don't post on her much, but my dog (the one in my profile picture) had a sudden GDV this morning and died on the operating table. He was only 5. He was a rescue, I've had him since he was 3 weeks old. I feel like I'm in shock, and I just can't believe he's actually gone.

I pretty suddenly lost my 5 year old dog this year too, a few months ago. I'm so sorry - it's always hard to lose them, but especially so when they're so young.

I have a friend that just (like day before yesterday) lost her Dane to a sudden and violent GDV that didn't work out even though it was caught early. Sucks, man. I lost my snorgi due to sudden, severe pancreatitis earlier this year too. It's balls. I'm sorry. You're gonna feel like crap for a while. 🙁

[shouldigomd]

Sorry rockatiel that sucks 🙁. My feelings go out to you.

Girl I was going to ask out has a boyfriend... dammit

 

[WardenN7]

Thank you all so much for the kind words. It's definitely been a gut punch... I felt like I was finally settling into a good study routine, adjusting to the vet school craziness, and now this. He was such an emotional support over the last 5 years, it's going to be hard without him. As soon as I realized something was wrong I rushed him to the hospital I got him from, where I worked all through undergrad; everyone there knew and loved him so he was in great hands. He had 4 doctors working on him during surgery, and I know they did absolutely everything they could so I'm super grateful to them. It was just his time.

It's just going to be a while, I think, before I stop expecting him to be waiting for me when I get home from school.

 

[hazelmoo]

So so sorry for your loss @WardenN7. GDV is the worst 🙁

 

[TheGirlWithTheFernTattoo]

Boyfriend and I broke up about a month ago.

Had a really intense and realistic dream last night where we had decided to get back together, and I was so happy and so in love. Happiest I had ever been.

At that point I woke up.

Dreams are super intense, I'm not sure anyone really knows why, but it was just a dream. You likely weren't REALLY that happy in the relationship, or at least you wouldn't be long term. I know that feeling though, and it's tough to shake it, especially when it's still a relatively new break up. It probably means you still need time to heal your heart.

 

[dyachei]

really annoyed because the pharmacy gave me the wrong type of tab for a certain med. And we've had this discussion before about how this form doesn't seem as effective for me. And since my husband picked it up, he never even looked or thought to question.

Sorry to learn that your dog passed away - very sorry!

Had my first euthanasia as an intern that had me fighting tears the whole time. Typical case of super nice people with an obviously loved animal but no money. And then they decided last minute that couldn't be present for the euthanasia. Just need to get through my paperwork and the I plan on bawling my eyes out.


Oh did I mention today was the cat's bday?

We do a lot of euthanasias without the owner present (just kind of the culture here), and they always make me a little bit more sad. Would kill me to not be there for my pets, you know?

Meh, I wasn't there when my dog was euthanized 6ish years ago. It is a very personal decision, some people can handle it and others can't. We just need to support the owner no matter what choice they make. It isn't easy to watch a pet die, even if it is peaceful.

No worries. I know it's a personal decision and absolutely support whatever choice people make. Just not the way I'm built. I treat/do surgery on my own pets, too... like to be there and do everything that I can myself, so it's foreign to me to not want to be present.

Just a common part of my day that makes me ever so slightly sad. They get lots of snuggles.

I wish I didn't compare myself to others so much. I know, know I'm totally not supposed to do it.

You and me both. I'm tired of feeling like I completely rocked a test only to find out that I got a C. And then everyone else drones on about how easy getting their A was. I know you're really, really not supposed to compare yourself to others but it is hard when grades are all anyone seems to ever talk about. Urgh.

I majorly need to rethink how I'm studying. The methods I'm using now worked great for undergrad... vet school, not so much, it seems.

 

[Devastating]

I was hired for a small side job writing blog articles for my school's web portal, so today after class I had to go over to HR to fill out all the paperwork. There was a technical issue when attempting to submit my I-9 form, so I was told to go ahead and leave, and if they were able to get the problem fixed before 5 they'd call me to come back, otherwise I'd have to come tomorrow. Got home, took a nap at 2:30, forgot my phone was on silent...woke up 2 hours later with bad neck pain and a missed call from 3pm (if I had just held off on getting lazy for another 30 minutes...). By the time I saw the voicemail it was too late to be able to get back there before 5. SMH @ self

Are they still offering tutors at ISU? Helped me a lot during my first semester with anatomy. I felt like the grade talk mellowed out after first year, so it gets better. Have you had a Dr. Goff test yet? Those will make you want to drink.

Hey! Yeah, Dr. Howard actually sent out a couple of emails about tutors, so I may look into that, especially for anatomy. I'm just upset because I felt like I did pretty well on the first test but wound up getting a low B on the lecture portion and a C on the practical, which is definitely a bit frustrating. I mean, it's not like I failed, but it is disappointing. Our class average was actually really high, too...

We have not had a Dr. Goff test yet, actually; I don't even think that we've got one until mid-October... but probably 50% of our class is just completely lost in that class right now, so I can certainly see how it could drive people to drink, haha. I'm pretty sure it is curved, at the very least. But I am NOT looking forward to that test.

I literally don't remember the last time I cried, but I was a few minutes ago. Woke up yesterday with unbelievable searing electrical shocks in my left groin area. Any movement at all would set them off, every 5-10 seconds.. I simply powered through the day, wincing. This morning it was even worse, I can't move. But I had to skip class to drive 3 hours to the wheelchair seating cushion clinic so they could modify my cushion, because I now have full fledged pressure sores. After that, I drove back and checked myself into the hospital. They've been pumping me full of IV pain meds all day long yet it's done absolutely nothing for this pain. I'm loopy and drowsy yet still hurting. I got CT scan with contrast and they said my lymph nodes are a little inflamed and my WBC were a little high, but nothing that warrants this type of pain.

After 48 hours of this **** it's thoroughly worn me down. I've had no time to study, I have 3 exams in the next 2 days, and I can't move. Like I'm not even exaggerating, rolling over the slightest bump on the sidewalk sets off this pain. Why in a matter of 3 weeks has my body just straight up failed me. I've worked so hard to get here and I feel like every single day I'm slipping further and further behind. I won't be able to make it to class again tomorrow if this is that bad. With central pain, I live with a constant 5-6 baseline of pain, but this is so far above that, and it pisses me off there's nothing legitimately wrong.

**** you spinal cord injury, **** you nerve pain. I deal with you every day but sometimes you just beat me down. Just leave me the **** alone.

They initially wanted to be present and then it was too much for them.

Deep down I think it was still the right decision but of course I've been second guessing myself all day. It just flat out sucked.

Oh, man... my complaints are so petty in comparison to this. I'm so, so, so sorry that you're dealing with such terrible pain, especially during what sounds like a very high-stress week. I really wish I could so something to help... I just hope that, somehow, it can get resolved. Have you emailed your professors with an explanation? I'm sure that they'll understand and be able to work something out with you so that you can take the tests when you're not hurting so badly.

That's really rough. I'm sorry that you're getting beaten down like this. 🙁

I literally don't remember the last time I cried, but I was a few minutes ago. Woke up yesterday with unbelievable searing electrical shocks in my left groin area. Any movement at all would set them off, every 5-10 seconds.. I simply powered through the day, wincing. This morning it was even worse, I can't move. But I had to skip class to drive 3 hours to the wheelchair seating cushion clinic so they could modify my cushion, because I now have full fledged pressure sores. After that, I drove back and checked myself into the hospital. They've been pumping me full of IV pain meds all day long yet it's done absolutely nothing for this pain. I'm loopy and drowsy yet still hurting. I got CT scan with contrast and they said my lymph nodes are a little inflamed and my WBC were a little high, but nothing that warrants this type of pain.

After 48 hours of this **** it's thoroughly worn me down. I've had no time to study, I have 3 exams in the next 2 days, and I can't move. Like I'm not even exaggerating, rolling over the slightest bump on the sidewalk sets off this pain. Why in a matter of 3 weeks has my body just straight up failed me. I've worked so hard to get here and I feel like every single day I'm slipping further and further behind. I won't be able to make it to class again tomorrow if this is that bad. With central pain, I live with a constant 5-6 baseline of pain, but this is so far above that, and it pisses me off there's nothing legitimately wrong.

**** you spinal cord injury, **** you nerve pain. I deal with you every day but sometimes you just beat me down. Just leave me the **** alone.

I messaged you.

I hope for a speedy recovery for you.
