Bummr!
I had to photograph an extreme paintball event Saturday morning for the newspaper if you are wondering what sort of strange photo this is :)
As I mentioned last Wednesday, one of my instructors was absent from class and lab that day. He returned today and had our tests that we took two weeks ago in his hand. I’m happy to report that I made a 101 out of a possible 104 on that test. I’m happy about that! He was out last Wednesday though, and all of us were there at 10am just to find a note on the door that we wouldn’t be having class. After he gave us our tests back, he dropped the bad news on us. We have to arrive at class 15 minutes early for the next four class periods to make up that time that he missed… lol… We were THERE! I thought it was a little obnoxious that he would ask us to do that, but I suppose it will help him maintain his schedule, and since he’s the Radiography department head, we really don’t want to piss him off :)
In our positioning class, we started looking at the upper limb stuff today. We didn’t get much above the wrist though. We talked about every bone in the wrist and hand, starting with the carpals and working our way out to the distal phalanges. Since there are 27 bones in the hand and wrist, there isn’t much left in the upper limb! I guess the radius, ulna, and humerus are all that we have left until we hit the shoulder.
I can’t be too sure about this until after my lab tomorrow, but I have a feeling that the positioning for the upper limb are gonna be rather simple. I’ll report back on that tomorrow after we get started on them in lab…
