I went....TO THE HOSPITAL!! *dun dun duuun*

It's true, I DID go to the hospital yesterday and I was there a good 11 and a half hours. Okay, having gotten out my shocking you guys need, I shall continue. While I was at the hospital, I job-shadowed Mom, which was kewl, but WAY different than working at a vet's clinic. I can't write very well now, so you'll get the list of DOOM again.

-I watched a heart bypass surgery. Basically, they take all the blood vessels pumping stuff to and from your heart and divert it to this AMAZING machine that keeps you alive while the surgeon reattatches things the way he want them, and by the end of it, you get your blood back and your heart's working better. Way cool.

-I watched a 18-month-old have a penny pulled out of her throat, which was SCARY, 'cause if the doctor'd pushed the coin in any farther it would have killed the patient. O.O Also, babies don't like I.V.'s.

-I got to eatch Mom thump a semi-conscious patient on the chest ant demand that she cough, which made me wanna laugh. In fact, as soon as we were out of the patient's hearing range, I did so.

-I probably walked like 12 miles, because Mom moves from case to case, which all are on different floors. So I did work my lunch off. *shrugs*

-The hospital has A LOT of people in it, just in case none of you people realized that. I didn't.

She's BACK...with a tan!

Hello again! Everybody miss me? Puerto Rico was way kewl-I shall make a list.

-The church we were staying in ended up having AC in part of it. Guess where I slept?

-There were in fact, five showers to go on instead of one, so that was lovely.

-I hung out with this girl named Meredith, who is fun and you guys will have to meet at some point.

-My Spanish did not get me killed, and it was ocasionally helpful, though I did have to repeat a lot of things and tell everyone to speak SLOWLY and use small words.

-There was an excellent translator guy that hung out with me and Meredith, who made up for my lack of Spanish skills. :D Yay Elizier! *He has a fantasy book name*

-There were mangoes EVERYWHERE, like just lying on the road and rotting, which made me very sad, but then again, there were plenty to go around, so I got my mango fix for the week.

-Finally, salsa dancing is fun, even if you stink at it.

OOOKKKAYyyy....I'm back!

Saw a buncha surgeries and didn't feel the need to puke.

Hung out with my cousins in KC.

Got bored on the car trip back and sang to Mom so she wouldn't pass out. Then she went and got some caffiene instead.

Rain

Okay- I have a spume to get out of my system. And since you guys are my friends you all know that's a perfectly legal sound effect to use when describing whining.

So-this rain. I like storms. I LOVE storms. In most case, I'd rather watch a good storm than a movie. But the rain...just keeps....coming. It's like a wave of zombies or something! AUGH! Okay, I'm done now.

Bella is officially home, and is cute even when she chews on your shoes or poops on the kitchen floor. And BE AMAZED- she can sit in your lap! *Gasp* Probably not that big of a deal for you small dog havers, but it's kewl for me. :D
