Bear Creek

School - Same old, same old. I have to know every bone and muscle in the body by Tuesday for Health. I already am really good with the bones, but the muscles are hard because we have to know the latin names. Anyways, had an english test today. 8 short answer questions, 5 points each, which means if you mess up one, you bomb the test. My dad had a cool case today at the hospital (he's an Intervential Radiologist). Gun shot would to the left side of the neck. Hit the Vertebial Artery, which brings blood to the brain. The guy was knock door-to-door trying to get someone to call the police. 40 mins later someone did. My dad wasn't the one who did the procedure, but his partner did. And he did an awesome job! The tricky part was that if the artery was blocked the the junction of the left and right arteries, it would cause a stroke. The left Vertebrial Artery was ruptured and had to be blocked without cutting off the right one. He did it perfectly! Anyways, the guy is doing great! Lucky guy. So, changing gears, skiing tomorrow at Bear Creek with Mike, Jessica, and her friend. It's gonna be a blast! Church on Sunday, and Super Bowl Party at Izzo's. I predict Huck Finn and a five paragraph essay in my future.

Wow! Interesting story. "40 mins later" - the guy is lucky. Even if people are home they are afraid to get involved.
