Halloween

I got to spend the day in the OR! I had so much fun. I got to see a partial amputation of the phalange of the middle finger. The best part was when you could hear the surgeon chipping away at the bone. As a nursing student all we can do is watch but it was still pretty cool. I also saw the removal of a large cyst from a patients wrist and a lap chole or laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Lindsay also made "witches fingers" out of pretzel sticks, white chocolate and dots.

My mom is the greatest

Today my mom drove out to Bakersfield to return my kitty to me, bring me a buffet, take me to lunch and buy me a few home goods.

I rest my case that my mom is the greatest. Thanks mom!

Clinical

Here are some photos from clinical post conference as well as a fountain and figure in one of the many hospital hallways. The hospital I am in this quarter in a Catholic Healthcare West hospital.

I love the expression on Lindsey's face. She is the one peeking around Molly.

Jenny was over having her photo taken so here is the back of her head.

Yesterday was my roommate Dereem's twenty-sixth birthday. I took the liberty of decorating with 99 cent store decorations and baked her a cake.





The box, yes it was a mix, said to loosely cover the cake. Well after inserting 26 candles I realized I don't have a cake carrier or cake display so I improvised thus the trash bag.


We only lit one of the candles using the smoke detector as are excuse.



In all it was very fun and the cake was pretty good too.

Still more photos of the roadtrip

Remodel

My parents are adding 800 square feet to their house. These pictures were taken back in June so the house has come a long way but isn't done yet. The kitchen remodel is the primary task left.
