Ambulance Chaser

Well, it's a weekend on call and the calls just don't stop. Part of the job is responding to all the ambulance calls in my area. Yesterday I showed up at a run down house with 20+ cats and a dead man inside. Ok, it was a little spooky but it looked like he died of natural causes. Today it was a 17 year old boy with seizures....then just a few boring office calls: hemorrhoids, a sore ear, infected hip wound...who knows what next, it's not even 10am yet!

Actually, it's not always this bad. I'm just hoping to get them all set and then be able to go out to one of the local farms and try my hand at some farming skills...milking, etc. We've already been able to go out lambing (when the sheep are having babies) and catch a few newborns. Kimball was more interested in the ancient sheepdog they had (he was pretty cool, the dog rode on the back of the 4-wheeler since he was crippled and stared down the sheep from there).

Don't have pictures yet, but Kimball cut my hair. No, it's not a disaster, i like it, it's the shortest its been in 25 years! Still hoping to look old enough to be a doctor...
