I don't recall when exactly it happened, but sometime during either the third or fourth rotation that Dad went in for the second surgery. I was not particularly for it, the tests had come back thus far that there was no further cancer.

My third rotation was arguably one of my favorites and one of the rotations that did the most towards deciding where I want to go with my pharmacy career.

Thankfully the timing of this was good, it ran from mid-August until mid-September so at ( Read more... )

I suppose this is as good a time as any to start to get into the experience that has been my rotations thus far. I'm sure you're wondering why I'm doing this so early in the morning and on a weekday.

Even though the last time I had actually seen her was almost 20 years ago. I made a point of trying to be there for my Dad, particularly since he's had some health issues of his own. And he's been doing ( Read more... )

In so many ways the storm has passed. In the more literal sense we just got done with a pretty major snow storm. To be fair, its not the biggest I have seen, but it is has kept me bottled up inside and away from the horses for the third day in a row. Scotch is doing well though and even seems to be thriving on the colder weather. Its a certain ( Read more... )
