I'm back in Dublin after my time in Fuerteventura. It has been crazy busy since I've been back. I went in to the vet clinic in the D.S.P.C.A to do a little bit of reception work last night. It was really lovely to be back there but it was super busy. I hadn't been on reception for 3 weeks so I was a little worried I would have forgotten everything but thankfully it was fine. There were lots of cute dogs and a couple of cats in with their owners last night. I'm always excited to see what animal will come through the door. I had one night a few months ago when their were loads of hens in to be treated, random eh?
In other news I had to go see my sports doctor today because I've been having some pain in my achilles. It's not bad and I can run flat out but I wanted to be careful and not do any damage to myself. I ended up in the MRI machine to get it scanned. The MRI machine is always a strange experience. You are in this little tunnel and can't move while the machine takes all the images. Plus the machine makes a really loud ticking type noise which means that you have to wear headphones and earplugs. I'm so used to having different parts of me scanned that I drifted off into a mini sleep today during it.
The result of the scan was that I have a little strain on the top of my achilles at the bottom of my calf, this means I need to get in the gym for a week and do no running. The doc put some needles in my calf to loosen it out and help it recover. I hate needles so that bit was a bit crap All in all not too bad though. A few days of cross training never killed anyone.
The day has been fairly busy because I was in the gym before the scan and doctor. The gym session was good, I was doing a lot of functional work. Yesterday was weights day so today was loads of little exercises to keep everything moving well.
If you are in the Dublin area and need a Vet please do remember the vet clinic @ the D.S.P.C.A

Hey Derval... you should have mentioned the vet clinic when we interviewed you for Powerade in Dublin back in December. I'd have worked a plug into the edit for you. ;)
