OR time

I was in the OR all day at the hospital. I really had a good time! I took some extra medicine and prayed a lot before I left home. I didn't even *think* about being nervous today. I'm excited.
I got to see a carotid endarterectomy. That is where the carotid artery (in your neck) is cut open longitudinally and the plaque is taken out. I thought it would be like grease or fat that came out, but it was more like grissle or the parts of a piece of chicken that you don't eat.
In the afternoon I watched two hernia repairs done though the scope (endoscope). That was neat too, like playing a video game, watch the monitor and move the little graspers around inside.
I had a good day!
