well the muscle the boob is ontop of any rate. Holy fuck. Somehow, either in PT or fishing dumbass out from under the porch, I've aggravated the pectoralis muscle. Now I'm not allowed to do my PT until this calms down. My left hand is my drinking arm and I can't even get the mug up. I thought I was going to drop my tea cup in class today. The yelp of pain at least woke the students up.

Grandma's assisted living home caught fire today. No one was hurt and the building wasn't really damaged but they got lucky. Grandma had a busy day. First mom took her out to get declared legally deaf (well grandma doesn't know that. she thinks she's getting hearing aids but she it beyond that) and then mom had to go BACK over there to take granny out while the firemen did their thing. Mom went to the casino to unwind and won 300$



The next student interested in being in the health care profession who asks why they need to know all this anatomy/physiology stuff should be banned from seeing a patient ever. I was grading today while talking to my brother to see if there was anything I could do for the injured wing muscle and noticed one student when asked to match the muscle with the body region answered abdominal for the gastrocgnemius and I was laughing (it's a calf muscle) and he argued it was a good choice. gastro has to mean stomach right? That's what your student was thinking. he's probably right.

During this talk he decides he wants to Google earth me.

John - I see some building off the highway

me - that's the apts

John - in the ditch?

me - I keep telling you I live in a crapshack through over the hill. We call 'em hollers around here.

John - where the hell are the other houses

Me - there're aren't any.

John - (obviously not beliving me) Where is civilization?

Me - 12 miles north or 10 miles south.

John - WHERE ARE THE HOUSES? I'm going down 35

Me - that's how I go to work

John - There are no houses! Wait there's one. Why is there only one?

Me - sigh.

I liked these chairs. I liked this room. I like the idea that smoking was banished to one room of the house (well they probably smoked in the billiards room too) so the whole joint doesn't reek. And they were smoking pipes so it was probably sweeter than cigarettes.

and here's the other half of the room. love this fireplace

That is one gorgeous fireplace, but am laughing at the elk picture in the first photo. The chair is fun, too.

Dear John:

It really IS like that.

There's something wrong with an assisted living home catching on fire. Just...wrong.

I know. i used to have worries like that in my inner city homes that were high rises. those were death traps

I remember you talking about the high rise death traps.

during that era having an elk on the wall was the same as having a pinup: it claimed the space as a MAN'S ROOM!!! and all but put his massive testicles on display for all who entered XD

I was actually admiring the nice stained glass window with the frilly collared dude in it. AND THE FIREPLACE!! And that wainscoting is gorgeous. I love your pics COM

Oh, yes. My great aunt had one of those elks in her house. It looked remarkably the same. Except less...er...hand-drawn by someone who'd only seen a picture of an elk.

y'know... it does kinda have that... CRAYOLA look to it, doesn't it? weird!

From: [identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com
Yup. That was what first got my attention. I recognize the elk and that pose. Just...not the artist. :D

this is also true. it was defintely a man's room though that stained glass is an odd choice

it is very hurty and having an ice pack wedged in your armpit isn't as much fun as it sounds

And it sounds like ever so much fun. Feel better soon, sweetie.

Ouch over the pain and also your grandma's living assisted home caught in fire. For the latter glad to her she's safe. Hopefully that pain of yours will calm down soon.

LOL over one of your students thinking he shouldn't need to learn the science stuff to be in the health care profession. It's like going into the hotel business without knowing a few ins and outs about it...or any other business venture you plan undertaking. :x

Very lovely pics of the fireplace!

thanks. it hurts

i hear it all the time. in fact my mom's manicurist is going into ultrasound and she's bitching to mom about it (knowing I teach the subject)

isn't it cool

Yikes!

Ow for breaking your boob muscle. :-(

What the heck is covering that one chair, silver lamé? The elk painting may not make the room more manly, dude. "I use antlers in all of my decorating..."

yeah....

it hurts. whimpers

you know i dont' remember t hat throw looking so metallic to the naked eye but...

but anatomy is the most important thing! gah! tell them if they can't take a body apart in their head they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it!

when I was learning general dog anatomy I used this site http://www.anatomy.usyd.edu.au/glossary/glossary.cgi?page=a

it's got the meaning of the latin roots of the names- like gastrocnemius meaning the belly of the leg XD

From: [identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com
exactly. it's like my god there is more to it than holding an ultrasound head in your hand.

oh hey, I don't have that one. Thanks. I'll go link it into blackboard for them.

see they weren't too far off. they knew it was 'belly'
