I have an official last day of work: March 2. I'm getting pretty ready to be done with Fairway. It's been a good to me these past...almost 3 years (holy cow!), but I must say I am ready to move on with my life.

On Wednesday in clinicals I got to watch open heart surgery. It was fascinating. So far, the vast majority of people with whom I have shared this information have been repulsed. I just don't get it. How can witnessing the internal workings of the complex machine that is the human body not be viewed as nothing short of miraculous? I know, I do have a slightly twisted view on things as a nursing major, but I found it to be the most enjoyable clinical experience I have had thus far.

Prayers for my Granddad would be much appreciated. He had to be care-flighted to the hospital in Austin yesterday after passing out in the bathroom yesterday morning. They think he had a seizure, possibly as a result of a bump on the head on Monday. They are running more tests today to rule out anything worse, and if all goes well he may get to go home later today. So please pray for good test results for him, peace of mind for him and the rest of the family, and safety for my parents who drove down to Austin this morning to be with him.
