About Me
I live in Los Alamos, New Mexico with my husband, daughter and two dogs (and whichever mice are currently living under the house). I like to spend time with my daughter, knit, bike, run, and tear my house apart, but not all at once.

This is Anatomy Summer for me, and right now we're diving into the spine and ribcage. Anyway, in studying I got interested in my extra rib again, which was discovered when we got into the fun car crash a year and a half ago. It's a cervical rib on my left side, which btw, extends from the C7 vertebrae. Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_rib. That part about the 125x higher rate of childhood cancer than the general population is interesting. Glad I got to skip that.
Between that and my curvy-wurvy spine, I'm surprised I can stand upright and not look too much like a freak. Well, maybe I do and everyone's nice enough not to clue me into that fact.
Anyway, I'm digging anatomy. It's a little more intense than normal because of the shortened semester, but since it's my only class that's a-ok with me.
