At the hospital for knee surgery round two! Hopefully this will solve my issues!!

🙁Yesterday, I found out I still have 2 more surgeries to schedule. R ankle needs ligament reconstruction after 3 months of worsening pain with variable swelling. And the R wrist repair failed and needs to be fixed. Last night I fell asleep early and woke up sick. But the termite treatment was scheduled for this morning so I had to be up. They found even more damage for me to replace. It's just never-ending. I have 2 classes to plan (start next week) and can't access some important documents.
now imagine fewer words and more symbols, and absolutely no explanation behind it because your professor cant actually string words together to form a coherent sentence let alone teach. multiply by 4 months and you have the nightmare therio class we had when i took it. oh yeah, and the quiz is next tuesday.dear therio:

Haha, he actually explained everything pretty well... it's just a bit of a disaster of a diagram. And I really, really don't care about cow sex. like at all.
But cow sex --> more cows --> more yummy things that I can eat. Like ice cream. And cheese. and beef.
Doesn't work for me! I'm about 95% vegetarian, and tend to cook borderline vegan at home... 😛 But yeah, I absolutely understand that cow sex is important to the field at large, but in class it just kind of makes me want to hit my head on something.But cow sex --> more cows --> more yummy things that I can eat.

Moving across country sucks. So stressful.
You've got this. Best of luck to youGoing to the doctor Monday. all signs and symptoms point to diabetes. I am terrified about starting school in a week and really doubting if I can handle it. 🙁

I get angry when I have to answer a NAVLE prep question about how to help a client breed their dog or cat. I want to say, "None of the above, you don't want to contribute to the overpopulation problem. You recommend adopting instead of breeding another litter of Persians."
But how will my kids find out about the miracle of birth?! And my Cocka-Shih-Poo is SO CUTE! She needs to have puppies! *runs away before redhead can throw things at her*
Minor NAVLE study rant (more of a whine, really): It's the NORTH AMERICAN exam. So why are there no Canada-centric questions, huh VetPrep? I've gotten questions on various American regulatory bodies, but nothing on Canada. Lots of "You're practicing in [this state]..." but no "You're practicing in [this province]..." North America doesn't stop at the 49th parellel, people. [/end rant]

Did you JUST realize that Canada doesn't matter?But how will my kids find out about the miracle of birth?! And my Cocka-Shih-Poo is SO CUTE! She needs to have puppies! *runs away before redhead can throw things at her*

You're all just mad because your country didn't invent poutine.wait, people live beyond the 49th parallel?! I thought it was just frozen wasteland :-D

What is poutine?
some bizarre Canadian dish with fries, gravy and curds

no no no, bacon cheese fries

Disclaimer: I'm Canadian by birth...After my amazing friends, poutine is the thing I will miss most about Canada. I know it sounds weird, but it is fantastic.
But it's not cheese, it's cheese CURDS.Disclaimer: I'm Canadian by birth...
But how the HECK can poutine sound weird?! It's fries, gravy and cheese. Every single one of these things are delicious. Gosh, I would pretty much eat my own arm if it were made of fried potatoes...

But it's not cheese, it's cheese CURDS.
My mom was also born in Canada, but she hates cheese curds, so I would guess she also hates poutine.
I'm not the biggest fan of regular cheese, so to me they're just extra gross. 😛I mean... you know you make normal cheese by separating out curds and whey, then just further processing the curds? It's not like a nasty by-product or something, haha. I'm also had way more variations of poutine with just normal cheese than cheese curds, even though it's not traditional. 😛
I love pretty much every variation of cheese...
I can get behind cheese curds after living in WI, it's the gravy that sounds disgusting.Disclaimer: I'm Canadian by birth...

Ugh. Biggest complaint about orthos is that right there.I have been waiting for 50 minutes to be seen by my surgeon for my post OP appt. and when he finally walks in he will spend about 5 minutes with me and then jet out if the room. Grrrr.
Edit- he came in and spent less than 5 minutes with me. And now I'm at the 90 minute mark waiting to be discharged by his assistant. This crap is ridiculous.
ummm, no.I thought fries with gravy was common?
Fries and gravy is a Canadian/British thing as near as I can tell.
