First day of EMS!

We'll I'm at least pretending that its summer and its my first day of EMS here in CA! I started bright and early at 6:30 (and thats a late start!) and we headed out to a farm to do some umbilical hernia repairs. I got to watch the first one, and then I got to do one on my own! It took a while (my incision was larger than it should have been) but in the end the calf got up and didn't bleed to death so yay! Then we went to the sales yard and the vet I was with PD'd some cows for sale. Then we went back to the practice and that was pretty much the day. It seems like the schedule is mostly morning heavy but when you're back in the afternoons its done more or less. I helped them in the milk lab a bit and that was interesting to see since I dont think we do much in the way of milk plates in Glasgow. So depending on what tomorrow is like I may explore some of the town, though its cinco de mayo and it may be a bit crazy, but I hear there is good Mexican food round here so we'll see! The place is really nice though and the bed is super comfy! And since I'm still a bit jet lagged I'm probably going to crash pretty early tonight to gear up for tomorrow!
