fat girls and skinny legs
In Andrew and Kelly news, I just finished up a month in the surgical ICU, which makes me want to never get shot, stabbed, fall off tall buildings, or get hit by trains. It was a pretty boring month overall, since we couldn’t really do anything except write down lab values from the computer.
But, I started Renal medicine, which is all about beans. Kidney beans. I live by the motto “Don’t neglect the beans” for the next four weeks. It’s been interesting, and I realized I don’t know much about the kidneys. Anyway…
Kelly has been working on a couple websites and projects. We’ve been planning our trip across the ditch pretty diligently and have almost gotten a good working schedule together.
i see uvula!!
And as for the title, one of our good friends is getting a parasite removed from her belly today. It’s been in there feeding on her for the last nine months, and we’re pretty excited to meet Jack later today/tomorrow. He is going to be a complete stud, and I’m sure he’ll make an appearance here later for you all to admire. For now, here is the nearly excavated belly.
Jack just kind of set up shop like he owned the place.
And in other news, we made some delicious food the other day with some friends. And by “we made” I mean we watched and I helped throw the skinny little buggers in boiling water. Our friends Lori and Jason prepared a huge shrimp boil, and we added some delicious blue crab. Jason didn’t have the heart to throw the buggers in the boiling water, so I had to do the honors.
crabs are very slow when you put a bag of ice on them for a while. not too feisty here.
One tried to run out of the pot.
crab gets testy when put into hot water. tries to run. doesn't get far.
It was kind of sad, but more delicious than sad. Much more delicious than sad.
holy deliciousness. this is the boil without the meat.
Anyway, we hope to get that recipe on here soon, because it was fine eating. This weekend we are going to Birmingham for Kate and Gray’s engagement party, then to the beach to visit my sister, brother-in-law, and neice. We’re going to have tons of crock pot pictures by the end of the week!!!
Poor Lori. I remember all to well how it felt to have a parasite inside of me. I always referred to McK as the little leach
By the way, both of you guys need to go back to grade school and learn to spell niece. I before E except AFTER C, not BEFORE C!! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Yes! Andrew made a grammatical error! (this never happens and he is always correcting my posts)

You’ve always lived by the motto “Don’t neglect the beans.” This is nothing new.
