What a Night, What a Morning!
Last night, a bunch of us went to Nightmare on Beaver Lake where we walked through the haunted trail and the haunted house of Chuckles the Clown. The scary scenes along the trail were quite well done and I jumped and screamed a few times when characters jumped out from behind the trees and bushes. But I was quite scared in the haunted house mainly because it was pitch black when we first got in and we had to go through all these curtained doorways. It was a fun experience. Afterwards when we went to D.C. Grill for dinner, I was still expecting people to jump out from behind the cars as we walked across the parking lot. I was exhausted after a long day at work (it was actually not bad considering it was a Saturday) and an adrenaline-pumping night. Thank goodness for the time change.Our morning started a little bit off kilter at work. Right after my first appointment, this cople brought in a cat with breathing difficulty. We gave her oxygen, IV fluid, did X-rays…. She had quite a bit of fluid or some sort of lung lesion and even though we initially responded positively to the oxygen therapy, she started having trouble again 10 to 15 minutes later. Her heart rate went down and started to gasp. I gave her IV epinephrine and attempted CPR with no luck. Despite all the we did, she still died. The owners felt horrible because they noticed the cat not being right for the last few days and she started having breathing difficulty last night. But because they didn’t know that there are emergency hospitals in the area, they did not bring the cat in then. It was very sad and frustrating, but shit happens sometimes. I just hope the rest of the day will go a bit smoother!
