I got my Pay It Forward Exchange gift from Alicia! They're beautiful aren't they?
There hasn't been too too much going on on the knitting front lately. I spent most of my 5 weeks off reading for pleasure and hanging out with people that I never seem to get a chance to see anymore. But I do have a some progress to show you. First of all, I managed to finished sewing The Afghan together. 
I still have approximately 1 million ends to weave in. Sadly I don't have any knots to tie so I can't practice my surgeon's knot on it. I've made a fair amount of progress on my Dorky Socks...not that far from finishing it but I don't think there's going to be much knitting time on this rotation.
I also plugged ahead a fair amount on the Lacy Scarf. 
I really like the way that it's coming out...and I love all the compliments I keep getting on it, even from people who don't knit!
I'm sorry to say that the likelihood of my updating frequently looks like it's going to be pretty small for the next few months as I will have very little knitting to show you. There's only so much surgery I can talk about before I might start grossing people out :P
Things that I have learned so far on my Surgical rotation:
- The OR is my crack...seriously
- ENT is awesome
- Head and Neck is even more awesome
- Holding retractors can be a lot harder than you might think
- My very asthmatic body doesn't like it when I try to sprint up three floors (each story about 15-20 feet) to get a scope and a light source for a STAT page for ENT to the MICU...the best part of that whole situation being that they ended up not needing us.
- Surgical rotation is the best diet I could have ever asked for, the combination of never getting to sit for more than 3 seconds and rarely getting to opportunity to eat is doing wonders for my weight.
- When they tell you to go home...GO!

I'm glad your surgical rotation agrees with you!
