Last Day of Classes

Today was our last day together before we head off for Vietnam. The day started, again in our wonderful blue scrubs, with Dr. Vo showing us how to suture. We probably won't be doing any of this in Vietnam but we might have to assist one of the doctors if they need to do any sort of surgery while we're over there. We also got a bonus self-defense lesson from Dr. Vo. We are totally going to be ready for those sketchy Vietnam streets!
Next on the agenda was packing all of the prosthetics, medications, and anything else we will need while we are over there. There are 100 sockets, 100 feet and pylons, not to mention all of the medications, so packing was not an easy task. We were able to split everything up between the 15 or so of us, and amazingly we got everything to fit.
Here everyone is busy counting and packing everything in their bags, we are going to have a lot to cary through the airports.
A line of legs. I think we should pimp them out while were on the airplane.

The next time we will see each other will be 6:30 am on June 3rd. Our flight leaves from Atlanta at 9:00 in the morning. Then we will land in Chicago, and head out to Hong Kong, then finally to Vietnam. We have 26+ hours of traveling a head of us, but we are all excited and ready to get started in Vietnam.
