Playing Doctor...


Even though Tracy was getting a PICC line, I was still excited – in a techno-nerd kind of way.  More medtech, more sterile things, more pictures to take.  Interestingly enough, the procedure is done right in the room, with a minimum amount of sterile field in place.  I suppose if I really thought about it much, I’ve done worse with a hammer and screwdriver to my hand?  Nothing that a leather strap and a shot of tequila can’t handle I guess. 

Anyway – I got to wear a mask, and for a minute or two – thought I was going to get scrubs, too.  Oh well.  All I could do was hold onto Tracy’s right big toe (only part of her not covered in a sterile field) and take pictures.  I left out any ones which may make anyone queasy, and do apologize for the quality.  Had I known I could stay with her during this, I would have brought a real camera.
