Today I am most inspired by the woman police officer in China who breastfed babies orphaned in the earthquake. I've been seeing women breastfeed their own babies on the ward, but it's another level to give of her body that way.
I'm super grateful that I'm working overnight Friday instead of Saturday so that I won't be a complete zombie for Scott's birthday on Sunday. A real stroke of scheduling luck. I wonder what it will be like to stay contained in that world for so long. I'll probably report from the trenches tomorrow night. I told Scott I feel like I'm going backpacking or something.
I am surprised by how big a Fallopian tube is. That egg really has some diameter to travel in. And the fimbrae are very cool structures, feathery fingers to sweep that ovum up. Surgery still really trips me out. It's amazing how little blood our patient lost during her tubal ligation, probably only like 30 mL.
It's dinner time.
