A Close Up View Of Our Insides!

WOW! That was about the extent of Sharon's vocabulary when we visited the Bodies Human exhibit! If you want to check it out, go to http://www.bodieshuman.com/ . There are several exhibits all around the country. If you haven't heard about it, it is a process of plastination that allows the scientists to preserve the body parts of a deceased person. We saw all sorts of parts. The neat thing is to see how the nerves actually look under your skin. We saw healthy lungs, diseased lungs, healthy hearts and diseased ones. We saw livers, gall bladders, kidneys, bladders, stomachs, colons, intestines. If you were born with it, they had a picture and an actual part. They show muscles, slices of brains, like you would see on an MRI or a CT scan. We could even see the four layers of skin covering the skull.

It was fun to try to recognize the internal organs of the body. You can look at all the textbook pictures you want, but NOTHING compares to seeing everything "squished together" in what is known as the abdomen. Thank God for surgeons who know where to find what and be able to put everything back together again!!

All Sharon could say was, "WOW!" The most amazing thing is to realize that God put us all together. He knew what we would need.

It is raining here today. We were awakened by the sound of thunder this morning. It is kind of nice for a change, but all of this humidity makes us both hurt.

Her Royal Patient is really feeling better. She is driving, standing on that leg with the new knee, and climbing stairs. She is now moving faster than Sharon (AGAIN). Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted. Until next time. . . . . ...
