Metal Rods and Wire

 the metal rods and wire were taken out of my brother's elbow and arm last wednesday. the metal rods are disgustingly long. they're as long as a normal mechanical pencil! eeks. i cringe at the sight of them. imagine they were once inside someone's body. anyway, because my brother was having a cough on the day of his surgery, they decide to give him a local anaesthesia instead of a general one. so he was awake throughout the entire op. omg, i think i would have fainted if i'm not put to sleep. haha. anyhow, i'm glad this part of the journey is finally over for him. what's left is just removing the stitches. as for me, sadly, i still have quite some way to go. still waiting to get to the finish line. =)
