FUN??

Well, the date for my surgery is set and preps are underway. I'm to deposit 2 pints of blood in the blood bank as a precaution for imminent blood loss during the surgery and that may not be enough so blood from donors will probably be used. Well according to Ms Lim (the surgeon) this is a major operation and I have to be sent to the ICU after the surgery and I'll have tubes all over my body (sounds like fun................not!!!). On top of that, I have to miss my trip to Russia this year, which BTW is the part I dislike most. And I thought I can graduate early (-_-).





Anyway, every cloud has its silver lining. In this case it would be that I get to go back home earlier and for a longer period of time before I leave for Russia (yes, I'll still be leaving for Russia just a bit later than originally planned) but I'll be sporting a new hairstyle when I go back. It probably look something like this:

HEART

Guess what, we go to see a cow's heart and eye being dissected the other day (1 July 2008 to be exact). Too bad we didn't get to do it ourselves but hey, better something than nothing. The heart was huge and I mean HUGE. It was about 5x the size of an average human's heart and we could see the parts very clearly. Well, different people had different opinions about the heart (its smell,looks etc). I personally think it was kinda cool, made me a bit hungry for some pork liver soup (which is something impossible to obtain around here) but cool nevertheless. Some on the other hand lost their appetite and didn't take dinner. Weak stomachs I guess, but hey they'll thoughen up sooner or later. After all, we can't have a doctor throwing up while operating on a patient (FYI, the heart was clean of any blood). Anyway, here are some pics of the heart, don't throw up now, ya hear.
