Yesterday I got to open up the abdomen of our cadaver, and clean the fat off a kidney. It was pretty damn cool! I particularly enjoyed the scalpel work, as there is some undefinable pleasure in making a careful, clean incision that cuts only the layer you want to cut. It's like... flying, but with a knife.

I know exactly what you mean. I get that feeling from microscopic high precision electronics work but I first felt it in high school during a fetal pig dissection. It so happened that I only had to share it with one other person and we were graded on a worksheet that was easily filled out leaving us to do as we pleased. We managed to remove its brain and brainstem in pristine condition and present it to the lab teacher who was... not enthusiastic about the dissection lab in the first place. The look on his face not just at the brain but our GRINs was worth all of the effort many fold!

I'm so frustrated right now.

So we got kittens, right, two of them. They are adorable and me and the boy both love them. However, the boy is interested mostly in doing whatever entertains him, and I've had to discuss how cats need respect and gentleness even more than dogs do, because they're slightly more likely to bite and scratch and they won't like being abused. Today I found the boy had put my kitten in a tall laundry hamper and put a puzzle flannel over it so he couldn't get out. I grounded him to his room for the rest of today.

I've been really trying to never resort to the "Because I said so," reasoning that my folks used on me to explain why it's fair to ground him, and explain what isn't fair (torment the cats, disrespect boundaries, so on and so forth), but he still doesn't get it and I'm so  :argh!:

First world problems, right?

Nice... brain dissections are really hard, it's easy to damage the delicate tissues with a rough bone edge.

Wait, what cadaver?

Don't worry, it's legal -- I teach A&P now.

Ah.

Good.

That makes the group implication far less problematic.

I wasn't pretty, but the scalpels we had were brand new and I had a pretty good idea of how far down around the skull to cut. As I recall my partner was the one that suggested a lateral incision into the spinal chord at the base of the skull before I tried turning it over to remove the thing. She saved the project. It was preserved in a fluid that had shrunk most of the other organs as well as the brain so there was a little bit of wiggle room between the brain case and the brain itself if I recall correctly. We were just supposed to open the abdomen and ribcage an play "what's this bit" and fill out a very simple sheet pretty much designed to make actual cutting unnecessary for the squeamish kids. We were just not the squeamish kids at all. It was supposed to be groups of 4 and nobody wanted us so we got a pig to share. Her name was Shawna and shit I haven't thought about this in nearly two decades.

I've spent my adult life downplaying that as best as I can. Sorry. I've been talking to my councilor with a candor that I haven't even had with close personal friends. Seen her stiffen up a few times when I get into my past or describe my less savory thoughts like how I might have gone about ending myself and why. She seems to believe that I suffer from acute PTSD and maybe clinical "personality disorder." I don't know. I'm trying to avoid self diagnosis and just work with the good folks at the county.

That's a typo though. Should be "It wasn't pretty". I can see how reading that as is was a twist.
