Back in the saddle again.

So I decided to go back to my hearts passion. Surgery. I am in love every day with my job. I have decided that the rush of a trauma is exhilarating, and holding a heart in your hand is humbling......I enjoy Plastic surgery. LOVE IT!!!! I can do anything in the OR, but what I like is different.

I thought oh piece of cake easy, and I will be rejuvenated ....... What the hell was I thinking? I am tired as hell. I wear the shape up shoes.....yes they work, your feet feel grand yet your ass, thighs and calves feel like you have been working out every day.

I am proud to go into the locker room and change into small or extra small scrubs. YES!!!!

My tattoo fetish has seen many awesome ink recently.

I have a scrub nurse who calls me Raggedy Ann, another calls my Nurse Jackie. A running joke with a anesthesiologist thinks I look like a 'Stacy" so that's what he calls me. His first name is Larry, I call him Rick.

Back to plastics......tummy tucks, lipo, new boobs, new face, new eyes....making people beautiful one at a time. Would I have it myself....? No. Not to say that one day I wont indulge with new boobs......you do see so many that have normal wear and tear turned into 18 year old awesomeness.

Oh and we have a new form of Plastic surgery on the rise.....Vaginal reconstruction. Yes people. "My vagina's appearance gives me low self esteem" I don't like the way this side looks. "I want a new Hymen" Can you remove this little mole?
This is a very interesting group of women. New divorces young 30's.... amazing. Pictures, they will whip out magazine shots and say "make sure Dr. Va JJ make it look like this one" and its not Oprah Magazine I am talking.
Same with boobs, out comes Hustler or whatever and no shame.

I enjoy it. I guess I get to live a radical life vicariously through some people.

Surgery is wonderful, in Houston in the summer. Its 110 degrees outside, 90% humidity...oppressive heat. Inside the surgical suite a crisp 58-62 degrees with a humidity of 48%. Put on my jacket and enjoy free air conditioning as a job perk!!
