Nerves

Holy crap clinicals start in one week. I'm already having anxiety attacks! I keep going back and forth between being totally excited and completely and utterly terrified. I've never done an ounce of patient care before, so its really scary! At the same time, I'm excited to put what I've learned into action, and to learn even more as I go along! I hear the Nursing Home clinicals are really the best because you get the same patient throughout, usually, and you develop a really good relationship with them. Plus, most of them are very lonely and so grateful for the opportunity to talk to someone new. I'll be so proud of myself, but until then....man. I wish there was a good way to calm my nerves!!

Updates: Porsche is doing much better. The vet took her off all the medications (thank god) and she is now eating and drinking regularly (or close to regularly). She has stopped the drooling and nystagmus, so hopefully that means the motion sickness is better and now she just needs her equilibrium to equal back out. My poor baby girl, I hate seeing her sick!!

Zach is still incredibly sick with what I think is the flu. Hes got a horrible headache, body aches, fever and chills, and his skin just hurts at the slightest touch. :o( I'm trying to spend as much time as possible with him because I know how much it sucks to be sick. I'm just hoping I don't get it!!!!

Still haven't called the ENT about my tonsil....I can't tell but it looks like it MIGHT be a smidgen smaller today! I'm stuck between calling and just getting it looked at for peace of mind, and spending money for basically nothing. *sigh* Stupid tonsil.
