New stuff

Today was just Monday. Had a spinal decompression and a lamenectomy/fusion. The second case had a shit load of instruments and sets. Kinda overwhelming, to be honest. Lot of crap goin on at one time. After work, took a retest cuz I failed the one on Thursday. Then UPS and hair cut. Might watch a movie then bed.

Recap

Ok. Today's recap. Woke up at 420, as always. Got dressed and ate blah blah. Went to the hospital and scrubbed 2 scs implants. An scs is a spinal cord stimulator that is used for people with chronic back pain due to nerve issues. What we do is make a small incision in the back and place 2 needles into the lamina and against the cord. Then a lead is passed through each one and positioned just right. Next a pocket is made in an area next to the first incision. The leads are passed through a tunnel to the new pocket and attached to the battery. The battery is shoved in the pocket and both infusions are closed. Fun shit. Did I ever mention I'm 19 and they let me do this crap? Sure, I'm not a surgeon, but still. I love working neuro. Frankly I'm suprised they let me back. See, I was supposed to have a craniotomy Monday but my dip shit self decided to get poison ivy. Somehow, I'm still in that phase where I have all the answers. Really wish I was wiser.. I just can't help it. When somebody tells me I can't do somethin, I'm gunna prove that they're wrong. Anyway. Started watching men of honor then field day happened so I'm sittin here, quiet as can be tellin nobody about my day. My roommate should be back in the next hour so bed soon hopefully.. odd note to self: massive doses of steroids put me in a dead mood...

Proper greetings

I was short on time earlier so I'm sorry the intro sucked. How bout Some back story before we get to the denouement. I was born in Nebraska in September. My brother's birth came roughly 21 months prior. I lived there a while with next to no problems. Many years later, we moved to Illinois because my dad got work there. My sister was born there and life was pretty good. I'll probly post random memories from time to time.. anywho, life took a wired left turn somewhere after. My brother got into a lot of shit and I took the wrap way more than i should of and he abused my admiration for him. Long story short, mental trauma. I should hate my family for certain things but I'd give my life for any one of them in an instant. The darkness from the past still lingers but I am here now. I'm in the navy and have been for almost a year. I'm a corpsman and working on getting certified as a surgical technician. I'm in clinicals now and actually on my way back from the va in san Antonio Texas. I'm frequently depressive and suffer bouts of paranoia. That will come out sooner or later. I'm random and dislexic. I swear a lot and i love Shakespeare. On base now. Day's recap in a bit. Tune in to hear the cool shit I put in a couple dude's spinal cords
