I've had these friends before. The kind who only text you or invite you to stuff when they want or need you, but the rest of the time they are too "busy". Sometime in the fall I decided I wasn't going to sit around and wait for them to hang out with me. I don't need them, so why am I acting like it? After I made that decision I started hanging out with friends from work and it's been great! They are so supportive and genuinely care about me. Pretty much the only thing I changed was that I stopped reaching out to my old friends. It was always me putting in all the effort anyway so once I stopped everything just kindof dropped off. So my advice is stop reaching out, find some new people to hang out with, and only hang out with her if you genuinely want to (not feel like you should).

The stupidest thing about all this is that even though I am so much happier with my new friends, my mom still thinks they are the "wrong crowd". I'm sorry mom, but if they don't support me, don't text me, and basically don't do anything to maintain the friendship then they are the wrong crowd. I've tried explaining this but she still can't get over the fact that my new friends drink and party (Utah is a strange place...). Whatevs.

Anyways, hope you figure it out!

Funny thing is she wasn't like this last semester. Oh well. The semester is over in about or so. I just wish it was easy for me to make friends, though I'm trying. I'm working on being friendly and nice to other people, instead of being super quiet and shy. I think it's helping some.
 
I need better friends too. Hence the rant the other day about a friend sharing my FB profile with another friend a week after I got back in contact with her. I bought her a $15 present and everything :/ I think the present hurts more than what she did... I could have kept that. Especially the province-scented soy candle... which I bought for me, but thought it would be cool for her to have something that represented where she lived for most of her life.

My naturopathic doctor suggested last night that my low energy may be caused by stress.

So I screwed up my last 3 years of university due to stress caused by bullying unknowingly affecting my brain?

Sucks that this is a possibility. At this point, I just want a pill that gives me energy and makes me think clearer.

I will know more next month when I get my blood re-drawn.

In the meantime.... I have to try my hardest to relax.

Me too. Nurse A has an attitude problem and I've called her on it a few times. She has gone through tech school but did not sit the exam yet. There is a superiority complex. but she constantly doesnt have her work done. When I've had to get on her case to get things done, I get told I need to "calm down" by her. the other just had no idea what was going on. The other day, I mentioned that my assistant was going to go over the estimate - i meant it like the person helping me today but she pulled me aside later and told me that she is a tech, not an assistant.

At this new clinic, our practice manager was let go. Since then, everyone has been on everyone's case. The drama is so palpable in the hospital it's unbearable.

Techs/assistants/receptionists at the hospital where I work get fired for that kind of garbage.

I agree with Abney - new job stat!!
 
i've had my dog for 2.5 months now and the "vet student pet curse" has been rearing its ugly head since day 1! we started with behavioral/anxiety issues, picked up a severe laceration to a digital pad requiring a month of bandage changes and restricted exercise. a week after we ditched that, we now have a full blown pyoderma of the belly! 😡

Oh nooo 🙁
 
As I'm studying for my musculoskeletal final, doc calls with a diagnosis of a musculoskeletal disorder I was dreading. If its not bad enough that I have to study all about what my body lacks for the next two days, this phone call also just stripped away all of my happiness to see my fiancé this weekend. My fiancé who wants a "football team of kids". And then there's me, the person who's supposed to bear those children, who was just told child bearing will physically debilitate her, possibly permanently. Not to mention the possibility of passing it on to my kids. How do I even begin that talk? I almost just want to break it off with him so he's not put in such an awful position of choosing me over kids he's wanted his whole life. But I know it should be his decision. I'm just numb :lame:
Back to studying about the subject ruining my life :annoyed:

If he is as amazing and supportive as your posts make him sound, talking with him houldnt be so bad. Give him the benefit before judging how you think he will react. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
 
Oh Em. I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better. Love to you my friend.

(my phone tried to change friend to feces... 😳)

I agree Em, you should talk to him before jumping to conclusions about what he may or may not think or you'll drive yourself crazy. There are multiple ways to have children and quite possibly one of them will work for you as a couple. Don't beat yourself up over something you can't control.

That's the thing... talking with him he'll be uber supportive, but I don't want him resenting me down the road bc he's an awesome guy and doesn't want to hurt me now.
Thanks everyone.

Just try to have an honest all inclusive conversation. (I know you know that) And bring this point up as well. 🙁 Everything will work out alright.

I'm definitely going to. It's his decision, not mine. And we would definitely think about adoption but he's "the last person that can carry on his family name" 🙄 so it's gonna be a little extra blow to him. He wants to spread that seed!! :meanie:

I have an empty uterus if you guys need to store something in there for 9 months. Just let me know! 😍 to you!

Yeah I definitely will. And then as soon as I stop worrying about him, my emotions of how I'm supposed to manage this diagnosis (child bearing being honestly the least of my health worries with this) will rear their heads. I'm trying to think that with my medical knowledge, at least I will know how to manage it easier that others suffering from it. Thanks for your support everyone. Lots of specialist appointments in my future 🙄
 
Em, all the hugs in the world headed your way.

If you aren't a VIN member, you should consider joining. I think you could get a lot of support there from people in your field. There have been a lot of supportive threads and groups centered around VIN lately, and everyone there is wonderful.

And remember, your uterus isnt the only way for you to have a family. Maybe the biology won't be there, but biology doesn't equal family. Something to consider. I know a vet who had all four of her kids through a surrogate with donor eggs, and I know plenty of people who have adopted as well. I know it's a shock now and will take some time to sink in but this isn't the end of the world - and since your fiance obviously loves the crap out of you, he'll understand that too.
 
My senior chocolate Lab eats everything on the planet ... Today he ate 2 packs of gum containing xylitol. ASPCA poison control crunched some numbers and said he got a hefty dose so off to the ER we go. Booooo.

Oh Em....I can't really add much since everyone else has already said it. Take it a day at a time. Plus you have the SDN family to care/worry about you. 🙂 We are here if you need to vent....
 
Thinking of you Em. 🙁 everything will work out one way or another.. This just might be a detour in the plan. Lots of 😍 your way!!!
 
So sorry to hear, Em. I hope you and your boyfriend will be able to get through this together.

i was totally going to agree with this, and then i remember that while we were covering our guinea pig lecture in exotics today, i realized that my 3 piggies have had like 4 of the top 6 or so most common diseases in guinea pigs, and that at least $1000 has been spent on the 3 of them (2 of them were childhood pets)

thank goodness for cheaper Grenada medicine!

I shouldn't talk ... My dog is spending the night in the ER, $600 later (which isn't too too terrible) ... I'm transferring him to the day practice I work at tomorrow for continued care. They made him vomit but unfortunately the gum didn't come up so he must've eaten it earlier in the day 🙁

oh no! 🙁 hopefully he has physiology of steel!

I left a drawer partially ajar earlier this semester and Lucy plucked a bag of 13 aleve and a bag of candy out of it...and left them completely untouched elsewhere in the room! she only wanted the treats i had stashed in there, dirty little thief. i am sooooooooo lucky.
 
Minneapolis, as much as I love you, I kind of hate you. My first snow emergency ticket was because I had the flu and did not think about what side of the street I parked on. Fair enough. But this time you towed my car along with giving me a ticket because I parked on a diagonal small corner street that had exactly 4 houses on it, an even and an odd on each side of the street. I did what any logical person would do and parked on the side that had other cars on it and avoided the side with no cars. Now I just got home after being at the impound lot for 2 hours along with every other victim you've snagged and I just have to say, I am not pleased.
 
When im a veterinarian I dont know how im going to deal with the know it all clients such as nurses, dentists and radiology techs. Nurses are the absolute worst though. Im sorry *insert animal species here* is in NO WAY the same as a human. 😡

Im going to walk into a hospital one day going "Its okay I'm a veterinarian!" And see what they say.:meanie:

Nurses are either really great because they understand their limitations and know how hard our job is or just horribly difficult (and more often it's the latter). I had to argue with one for 20 minutes the other day about her dog needing neopolydex eye ointment after a surgery... She insisted that 3 weeks was wayyyy to long of a treatment(???) and she didn't want to continue it. After we finished arguing about that when I mentioned that it was a steroid she told me it absolutely wasn't. Well, yes it is, the dexamethasone is the steroid part. After arguing about that she started insisting that must have been the reason her dog was peeing more. I just kind of gave up at that point.
 
Cat took it upon himself to scratch my eyelid while I was sleeping this morning in an evil attempt to make me get up and feed him breakfast.

Finally dozed off again when suddenly my phone starts ringing. I look at it, see my bf's name and picture on the screen, and in my groggy state get totally confused as to how it's possible for bf to be calling me when he's sound asleep in bed next to me and his phone is untouched on my nightstand. Turns out it was his mom calling from their home number . . . she called his phone 5 times between 8:30 and 9:30 AM. When he didn't answer, she started calling me instead. Helicopter parents = :smack:

Rant: My dog keeps pooping in the house! The little turd. And I feel like I can't even be mad about that because I've recently switched her back to her high fiber food so I'm sure she's adjusting. But I CAN be mad that she's peed on the couch twice in the last week and that she was barking her freaking head off last night. I hate her as much as I love her right now.
 
I threw up after taking vitamins again, at work. I think it's the B Complex, not the tyrosine. I really don't want to take one at a time and see which one makes me vomit.

this is actually "common" in grenada (maybe not as much right were i am, but on the island yes). the perpetrators will douse food items in paraquat and leave them around a neighborhood. when all the dogs have died off (this pesticide causes pulmonary fibrosis and a slow painful death), they come in and rob all the homes. 🙁 the saying goes here if the dogs are dying, someone's fixing to do some robbing
 
Today I got attitude for something I had no control over. We have 3 doctors and 4 rooms, and 2 of the doctors were running behind so I had no available rooms at all for the third doctors appointment. 5 minutes after the appointment was supposed to start, I finally get a room open and I'm scrambling to clean it while the doctor is getting moody with me because her appointment isn't in yet. Sadly, this is a common thing. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job.
