Redemption
A little (??) recap of the last week.5's happenings, not that you care, necessarily...
I pulled the ox/ass/sheep out of the ditch and studied large animal medicine Sunday a week ago. Ideally I would have studied ahead of time, would have lifted the sheep out prior to the sabbath. However, since it was still there on Sunday and I knew it would be rather ill Monday following the LAM test if I did not see to it on Sunday, I created an aberrance in my primarily clear window of mid-Sunday work and studied. It's a questionable practice and I by no means plan to make it standard Claire conduct... what do the rest of you think (castigate me if you desire).
I got the oil changed in my Toyota a couple weeks ago, down at John and Phil's Toyota. They checked my tires, and lo, three out of four were given a red score. Yaks! With icy weather coming up, I measured harshly the foolishness of driving such tires and had them replaced at Les Schwab-Corvallis last Monday. They should be good for 75,000 miles, and if they aren't there's a grand warranty on the mileage.
Took the car in for an alignment Tuesday -- the man didn't charge me a halfpenny and said he couldn't've asked for a better alignment. I really don't understand how that could be -- my parents' road is full of potholes and I've done my share of running solidly into/driving off curbs. But hey, I'll take it. Kudos to Toyota for sturdy cars.
The surgery test on Friday... hmmm... remember that test panic back in October/November (Good and Bad and Not Quite as Bad and Dustiness)? Well, Dr. G gave us a chance to redeem ourselves -- he figured our grades with and without the midterm and gave us the higher of the two grades. (There was a 32% difference between my final grade and the midterm grade.) Very, very nice of him.
The final exam was sort of fun -- drawing orthopedic repairs, assessing different fracture repair techniques, etc. Tension banding a trochanteric osteotomy, anyone? Don't worry, I wasn't sure what a trochanteric osteotomy was, either -- I decided it might have something to do with cutting the greater trochancter of the femur and sticking it back on in a more desirable position. The physics and mechanics of orthopedics is grand.

I'm pretty sure I've broken most of the rules in the Mennonite handbook on Sundays, so I'm not the best person to ask.
