Even though I personally think I would feel very uncomfortable, Luke made it clear to me that it was just fine! He will be studying with the gracious donation of an older man's body! Wow that sounded weird... But truly this man I think was happy to help "the new generation learn"! Luke said he was happy to meet this man's caretaker/love of his life and she had some interesting things to say about this mans life! The donor thought he would be an interesting subject to study because he has had something like 37 surgeries in his lifetime!
So with all this, at first yes, it made me uncomfortable thinking about this stuff but Luke said it was so easy to gain respect for this man and what he is doing for the Medical Students!
On a lighter note... The white coat ceremony was so fun to witness! Im not exactly sure what it was exactly that made me so happy because it was just an excellent moment in time to mark my husbands amazing hard work and the beginning of something wonderful! Seeing him in that white coat with a smile ear to eat was so exciting and made me think... Regardless of how many tough times we may come across or bumps in the road we may reach it is all about this smile and this happiness right here!
After hearing several motivating speeches throughout the evening, they brought all the med students up on stage by assigned Mod and told a little about the history of the mod's title that they had been named after! Everyone was named after a particular donor to the University or someone whom had accomplished great medical deeds in their lifetime! Ironically Mr.Smile's mod was named in honor of a great neurologist! Now, my grandfather was the first neurosurgeon in the state of Oklahoma and has been over joyed with Luke during this whole experience of him beginning med school! In his impeccable 92 year old state-of-mind he is ALWAYS the first to tell Luke he will be there to help him whenever he needs! I just think it is so cool that neurology will label and always follow Lucas through his whole medical school experience! It's like my grandfather with really ALWAYS be helping him because his mod is exactly where students go for studying an support! Just seems pretty wonderful to me!!
There's not much more I can say about how proud I am of Lucas... He just always amazes me and I can't wait for him to get started Monday with his classes!! I already miss him and his school work hasn't even begun, but I will support him every step of the way :)
Also just another fun little tidbit... I had a great customer this week who had 3 kids herself, but was telling me stories of her friends who had kids in med school! It just gave me a little more insight about mine and Luke's plans for kids someday, who knows what will happen... We've always said we would wait till he was done with school, but I don't know if I can hold out that long! Regardless of how long it will be I still want time with JUST us, and the bears of course!! But one thing my client said to me that will always stick in my mind is "if you want something bad enough you can make it work, you are different from anyone else and don't let one persons opinions change yours and your husbands" I just thought that was inspiring!
So things coming up...
School starts
I go to my first cosmetic training
... And that's it for now!
