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...
