Tish made a special request to see Sheila's spleen (we're still waiting for the biopsy report; of course it was a complicated one - sometimes there are several pathologies going on in an organ simultaneously)
Action shot (intra-operatively)
Many folks took much better photos than me, but it was still a sight to see!
Dusk occurred at 1:43 PM, with streetlights coming on & much cooler temperatures
That's quite an assortment of pictures!
ReplyDeleteI hope the biopsy comes back favorable.
Great shot of the eclipse.
Everybody should get to see a total eclipse at some point in their lifetime. One is enough to live on the memory every time the news celebrates another, thank goodness, because totality is generally in a very small path!
ReplyDeleteAs for the gore... meh! Not a big student of anatomy, but adding my wishes for good results from the biopsy!
Hubby was shocked by the spleen photos and wondered about my well-being. I explained to him you are a vet. LOL. I have told him this a thousand times. Not just some kinky friend of mine who likes to carve up neighborhood animals. LOL. He said that when we met and I was with my friends, all medical people, that he was appalled at our conversations. Could not figure out how we could eat and talk about the grossest stuff on the planet at the same time. So how to you prevent postop complications in animals after a splenectomy? Blood clots? Risk of infection? Decreased immunity? I know in time other organs take over but animals are not known to be careful.
ReplyDeleteWE loved the eclipse! Awesome!
