Extraction video extravaganza

Drilling for marrow into the back of the pelvis

Yesterday was boring day.  Boring as in hole boring, not tedium boring.  Heidi had her ninth bone marrow extraction, shown in the photo at left.  There is also a video of said marrow extraction.  Some might conclude this is indeed a boring video, but that shouldn't stop you from watching it.  Spoiler alert:  they don't use the same 1/4" electric drill you use at home.

Heidi also had a spinal tap, otherwise know as a lumbar puncture.  They have to look at the spinal fluid to make sure no baddies are hiding behind the blood-brain barrier.  That was not quite as fun to watch—no drilling.  But of course there is a lumbar puncture video.

The Olympics came out to provide a backdrop
for downtown and the Space Needle

Heidi also had a pulmonary function test yesterday.  This involves blowing into a tube while this large persuasive woman yells at you.  I think she was a former drill Sergeant.  This would have been a really good one to video record, but alas I didn't get it.  Sorry video fans.  Too many Kodak moments, not enough Kodaks.

Of course the most famous video, the hair cutting video surpassed 3000 viewings.  Still popular after all these months.

Lastly, I made a time lapse video of the view out our apartment window.  We've always been surburban types, but there are some nice perks to having everything you need within walking distance.  Petula Clark got it right:  when you're downtown you can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares . . .
