Mark's Surgery

I thought I would write a quick entry because Mark had a really exciting morning and I want to tell everyone about it. He got to see two total hip replacement surgeries today; Somehow he and another student arranged so that they could actually watch a surgery. Mark said that it was so cool. The surgeon made only a three inch incision and was still able to replace the whole hip. I just think it is amazing. He also said that the surgeon accidentally cut open a blood vessel and blood started spewing everywhere. He said it was really gross. He also mentioned that the smell was horrible, burnt flesh!! The surgeon was so nice to Mark, he took him to the surgeons lounge and feed Mark. He is also going to let Mark watch a knee replacement also. Mark thinks it is awesome. I don't know how well I could stomach it. :)
