I saw a dead guy this morning
Firstly, the good news, I now have a new cello! name suggestions are much appreciated. For slightly worse, creepy news, I watched an autopsy this morning. I got to wear an all baby blue suit that looks like a moon suit. It was pretty sweet. That pretty much was the end of the sweetness, with the exception of a few highlights. Highlights would be me getting to hold a brain and not passing out. Everything else was rather traumatizing. The smell was terrible, along with the bone-sawing, torso cutting, and organ slicing (looked a lot like cutting up steak. won't be eating red meat for a while). There was also the fear of "rigor." Donna, my "boss," was talking about how she's been hit by bodies and heard them groan, because neurons are still working right after death, so things still move. pretty freaky. Too bad I wasn't wearing my heartrate monitor, because I was probably in VO2 max the whole time. The procedure also took a good 3-4 hours, so there was a lot of back and knee pain--like old people. Nonetheless, after tearing out, cutting up, and analyzing all sorts of body parts, we didn't find any cause of death, which was weird, since he was infact dead. We'll leave that for other, smarter people to decide. So now that I've gotten all that out, the day is young! get ready for the wedding rehearsal of a lifetime, michelle! I'm so glad you're sleeping with me tonight, because I'm freaked the f*&@ out. much love
