One More Day at Purdue!

Tomorrow will be my last day at Purdue.  Hard to believe that the two weeks are almost over!  Yesterday was a "procedure day" which means that instead of seeing appointments we have surgeries.  However, there were no surgeries, so we went out to breakfast and had journal article discussions at Panera Bread, ate lunch at Chipotle, and hung out outside a lot of the afternoon before leaving early.  Today was just a few appointments, less than normal and we left around 330pm or so.  Tomorrow is another "procedure day" and we have one surgery.  It is a small mixed breed dog with a patent ductus arteriosus (a connection between the large artery leaving your heart to bring blood to your body and the artery leaving you heart bringing blood to the lungs to get oxygen).  It is normal for fetuses to have this connection but it should shut down shortly after they are born. If it doesn't, it usually has to be surgically shut down.  Then, it's the weekend yet again!
