Starting surgery (again)

I've been getting 1-2 surgeries per week fairly regularly at work now, which has been nice. The past 2 weeks I've had 1 kitten spay with 1 kitten neuter. I have the same on the schedule this week, and then next week ...

... a mastiff puppy spay.

I vomit a little in my mouth every time I think about it. As long as one of the boss doctors is in the building at the time I should be fine. I seem to be able to tackle tougher surgeries if there's a senior doctor on site, even if they don't scrub in. There is comfort (and confidence) in knowing that help is available, even if you don't use it.*

*Key point that ex-hairdresser-practice manager at my old job never understood!

Conquered

Dr. Boss asked me to spay and neuter their foster kittens since I have a lot of experience with pediatric surgery - I did and they went well.

Today I did 6 rope climbs (20' high) in crossfit. Did I mention that I'm terrified of heights?

It's been a pretty good week for doing things that I'm afraid of.
