Time Flies...(when you're me)

Holy cow it's October! I've been in school for two months now. The middle of December, I'm off for a month. I can't wait. I can enjoy the holidays.

I had an exciting week last week for clinicals. I was in the OR and I got to see a...
CRANIOTOMY!!!
It was pretty cool. The surgeon was using a microscope for the procedure and said that a TV could hooked up to it and said "you don't want to watch this on a TV do you?". I asked him if he was kidding and he said that most students don't want to see that. WELL, I told him that I'm an ER girl and that after working in there, not much bothers me anymore. (well, I can't stand any kind of thing to do with mucus and I don't care much for my kids puke)
They wheeled in the TV and it was awesome!! I then saw a procedure that I really could have lived the rest of my life without seeing (or hearing for that matter). It was not a pretty site and involved the other end of the body. Enough said.
This week I was back on the oncology floor. My day didn't start off well. But nobody died so it could have been worse.

Michaels team has yet to win a soccer game. He got sick at school today and couldn't play, so I don't know if they are now 0-4. We'll find out Saturday at practice.
