The OR

Derek was lucky enough to have spent almost every day last month in the OR. Weather it was observing, holding, cutting, or slicing, he was in there and loved every second. It was such a treat for him to come home and tell me all he saw, did, and sometimes smelled that day. Occasionally our dinner conversations revolved around toe/foot amputations, external fixations, and suturing, which is totally disgusting. Luckily, I have a very hearty appetite. 
In other news, we found out this week Derek was granted with this scholarship. We feel so blessed & are so thankful to have received it.
