our 90 year old female cadaver still has her uterus. This is the first time since I've TA'd for anatomy lab that I've seen one still in the body. It's crazy awesome. She also had an artifical valve put in so she has stitches in her heart and the valve feels weird. Nathan cut into a chamber and dug out this blood chunck that is so hard we can't cut through it w. the scaples. It's so strange. It's like a rock of blood. Her left kidney looked like a sheep, according to Emily, so we named it Radar (after one of my old sheep). Other than that, both bodies were pretty normal this semester. I didn't get a good look at either of them because I was busy on the ribcages (yay!), but I don't remember anyone else saying anything was strange.
I ran into one of the students at the rec today. I asked how she did on the exam last week (98%!). She asked about becomming a TA. I said I'd put in a good word for her, and that we'll need new ones since me and a few others aren't doing it anymore, and not everyone is doing it over the summer. She was pretty excited. I like her. I'm glad that we finally have a bunch of students who are excited about anatomy like everyone should be.
some of my dissections are going to be in dr B's new anatomy book i helped with! pretty excited about that.

i think i'm finally getting used to you talking about cadavers.
Yay!
Your disections always have these interesting abnomalities. It just amazes me how wonderful our bodies are. It's great that your work is going to be published.
