three tylenol and a bottle of Aquafina
I was all excited about getting my secret mission. Now I’m deflated.
Murphy the dog’s goiter/tumor/big swollen head is subsiding. The recovery aided by the purchase of expensive doggie antibiotics.
I went to the morgue today on a class trip. There was an hour long lecture on things that we’ve already learned, but it was still interesting anyway. The director guy didn’t really know what we knew and didn’t know. After the lecture, we went into the lab put on latex gloves, and pulled organs out of dead bodies. No joke, I picked up a dead woman’s liver out of her body and said, “Is this the liver? This is a big freaking liver”. Then I put it back and didn’t really touch anything else, because I didn’t really enjoy feeling a cold dead body…..which is a good thing for me to check on the list of things that make me not a psychopath. God knows that I need to check a few more boxes on the “not psycho” to make me feel better. Although, I did poke at one of the cadaver woman’s fingernails, marveling that you could still see the gold nail polish remnants.
Over all, it was a little disappointing. The school had these specimens for six months. They were getting new one’s next week. The bodies were very pickled and dry, and although educational, most of the stuff was cut up and not in the right places.
It was creepy to look into the cadaver’s eyes. The eyeball on the inside had shriveled and melted into the skull, and what’s left was a clear membrane that looked like plastic that you could look through and into.
Right now, I have a head ache.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
