REJOICE!
I am officially finished with my anatomy class and these are
my ramblings:
I’ve used an electric saw to open someone’s rib cage and
pull out their lungs.
I’ve cried over the brachial plexus (more than once).
I’VE HELD A HUMAN HEART IN MY HANDS…AND A BRAIN!
I’ve learned words like ‘salpingopharyngeal’ & ‘anterior
superior pancreaticoduodenal.’
I’ve skinned a face.
I think I’ve identified every muscle and bone in the body.
I’ve flopped around intestines like it’s no big deal (they’re
always in the way).
I've gotten used to the smell of formaldehyde (although it's still not pleasant).
And I’ve spent hoooours picking through fat to find any kind
of nerve.
(this isn’t even close to a complete list)
I feel like I’ve been come through some weird right of
passage.
I’ve never had to study this hard for a class in my entire
life.
I had the best dissection group of girls I could have asked for.
I love my new classmates.
I’m so appreciative to the people who donated their bodies
to allow us to learn like this.
I’m so in awe of how detailed God has designed our bodies.
I’m so thankful to Jesus for giving me strength, peace, and
health to get through this summer.
I’m so thankful to my husband, family, and friends who
encouraged me and let me tell gross stories.
(last but not least)
I’m so exhausted.
