End of day 2

My body decided this morning that it wasn't going to sleep past 4:45 AM.  So i got up early...something i don't normally do. I was glad I got to go out and read on the deck in the early day because it started pouring around lunch time.

 At dinner i was talked into going to a medical lecture about the tumor removal.  It's something that MS does a lot of.  I learned about the different tumors. A surgery was performed today to remove an ameloblastoma (oh ya i learned that word!!) basically a tumor that takes over the mandible and can eventually cause slow suffocation because the tumor grows and grows and takes over the airway.  It's a two step process to 1) remove the tumor and place a titanium bar thing and three months later 2) do a bone graft to give them back a jaw.  It was really interesting to hear that this is NOT a process a doctor was taught and then brought over here to MS.  Instead, over the years the surgeons have created and perfected this technique. Not only did we get to hear this awesome lecture but we got to TOUCH A TUMOR THAT WAS REMOVED TODAY!!! How cool is that!?!?!?

After the lecture we went to a bible study on 1 Samuel.  It was awesome to get to meet more people! we read a chapter and it was insanely cool because every person who read had a different accent.  

I must say one of the neatest thing is to just sit in midships (the hang out place) and just listen to conversations, all the accents are awesome!
