Why I bothered to get out of bed last week

[xdawnofanewdayx]

There were a few things that made me feel like I made the right choice to get up and out of bed:

1)  I saw a kidney bigger than my head in the pathology lab.  No joke.  I mean, I had an idea that a polycystic kidney might be bigger than usual, but I had no idea:

For comparison sake

Good gracious. It's just crazy how older generations expect our generation to get married so early... I know that women used to think they needed a husband by age 25 or they would DIE, but our generation is so different. We have careers and friends and our own ambitions. Most people I know (in our generation) who got married young end up regretting it.

And I also weigh around 140 and I think it's a perfectly good weight. People who think that's fat have some messed up ideas about body image.. (it also happens to be love your body day.)

1) Those kidneys are GLORIOUS! They look like some sort of larvae out of Resident Evil. Yay!

2) Screw 'er, the old bat.

3) DO IT! My mom's first Lindman was purple. Best decision she ever made.

4) When we're old, please slap me if I ever forget that God's direct intervention in our lives *includes* the medicines and treatments that we've discovered. "Not enough faith," my ass.

1) Ew. It looks like some kind of mutant fish they pulled out of the deepest part of the ocean...

2) 35 pounds? Did you actually weigh them, or just use science? Either way, it's pretty hot.

3) Hey Courtney, is it windy out? Haha, I love Scrubs.

4) *shrug*
