I've always wanted to see what a drunken Tauren looked like. 🙂

Oh yeah. I like to sit here safely in my house and stumble all through WoW. I haven't even poured my wine yet though. The first sip is the sweetest.

Baby, I know! The first sip is the sweetest.

When it comes to being drunky, she's first. When it comes to punching in, she's worst!

whats funny is that a lot of animals actually do have bones that serve the purpose shown in the diagram. walrus' for example.

we learned about it one day when the head animal guy at Miami's Metro Zoo came to give us an animal sexuality lecture in med school. it was awesome. he even passed around the walrus bone. :laugh:

Well endowed walrus. 😉

I told you, Lean Pockets. Throw some canned green beans on the plate next to it, and you have all sorts of things that are good for you. Not to mention, it is a solid! :laugh: Also, it can be taken for lunch!

Another idea, for breakfast, (that is the meal that you have not celebrated in quite a while)...Egg Beaters and toast. Filling, full of protein, put the toast in first and then deal with the Egg Beaters...5 mins MAX. Add some OJ or top the toast with some Polaner All Fruit (YUM)...I love it.

That reminded me of one of my favorite healthy breakfasts.

Toasted sourdough bread with a teeny tiny bit of margarine for flavor topped with a fried egg white with pepper.

So little calories, but soooooo yummy. 😀

just dropping in during my OB call night. i just scrubbed out of another twin c-section. 😀

ok, got to go before they realize i snuck away to the peds floor to use their computers. :meanie:

one of the senior peds residents saw me and said i could come up here WHENEVER I want and hang out with them in the peds library (room with access code that keeps out the OB/s and that has computers and tv). :laugh: 😍

ok, gotta go for real....

What a pain in the @ass. Here I am, busting my butt trying to get my work done. I asked and was explicity told that the grossing room is NEVER locked. (We have keys hidden in here for our offices, the reading rooms, etc.). So I get here, you guess it, locked. There is NOBODY around. I went down to the ER to ask one of the docs if there is security or somebody around. This nice doc took me down to the "VA police office" which was of course locked. I knocked and could hear somebody moving around in there, but did they answer? No. So I banged and banged having a hissy fit and finally he opened the door.

Huge, fat "cop" in full "cop gear" including handcuffs, mace, etc. Hahahaha. Anyway, I'm like, yeah, I'm a path resident, trying to DO WORK, room locked, can you let me in? He's like, well, geez, I don't think so. Calls his supervisor. Yada yada yada. Basically calls the flipping FBI. Finally, he agrees to come let me in. That little escapade just took about an hour.

It sounds like he knows you are a body snatcher ....... :meanie:

Ok y'all, something weird is going on. It's actualyl kinda funny and it serves me right...I guess. I was all ticked off earlier and I hit a door HARD with my open palm. Now, the backside (not the palm) is turning like green and stuff. I don't want to whine to hubby b/c he will tell me that I deserved it. Which, I guess I do...but at this rate, I am going to look like someone transplanted Oscar the Grouch's hand on my end of my arm when I show up for church in the morning!

Ouch!!!!

I hope it's not green anymore. That totally doesn't sound like a good thing (that's my very unmedical opinion anyway).

I'll confess to hitting inanimate objects really hard when I'm ticked off too. 😉

PS Don't hit doors my dear.

wow, you guys were up late. the residents let me go home early tonight so i'm home at 430 am. i was scheduled to stay until 7AM but since there were just 3 patients left on the labor floor they let me go. what i did tonight:

-scrubbed into 3 c-sections, 1 set of twins. had my hand completely inside a woman's abdomen through the c-section incision all the way to the top of her uterus... crazy. the twins had two placentas though so it looks like they were fraternal. on the last section since i hadnt cut a cord yet i just grabbed the scissors and told the residents i wanted to do it, pretty cool. the last case was a 500 lb diabetic mother that we closed up with staples since its better for those types of patients, i got to put in like 4-5 surgical staples. :meanie: i had been stapled shut after my appendix was taken out when i was 15 so it was nice to be on the other side of the OR stapler.
-saw one vaginal birth... nothing out of the ordinary here, nice parents.

overall it was a great shift and i lucked out with a couple of really awesome attendings that let me scrub into everything and some pretty cool residents.

now i'm gonna sleep so that i can wake up in the late morning and study all day. talk to you later people.

Whoa, the thread is very quiet!

I have a wicked hangover. 🙁

Today, I am going to do desperately needed laundry, bills, and dishes. Also vacuum and clean bathrooms. And watch NASCAR. 😀
