Learning to suture

So last week we learned how to put in sutures in my wound management class. I'm not gonna lie, I felt pretty professional, even though it was only on a pig's foot. I think my stitches looked pretty good too! We each made incisions on our selected pig foot and then learned and practiced different types of sutures to sew it back up. I really enjoyed it. It's times like that that get me through ridiculous days like today. We had a Therapeutics exam today, all about medications and how to prescribe them, and it was tough. I spent a good part of the weekend studying (apart from the BYU football game!), and it paid off, but I am exhausted! I am living for Thanksgiving break; it's almost here!

A stitch. Like when you get stitches when you get hurt.
