Welcome to my blog!

I don't know where this blog will take us. I'm just going to go with my unusual thinking and that could take us anywhere! Enjoy the ride! I can't sew. At all. Really. I doubt I could sew a button on. There are a great many craft projects I'd love to do but if they involved even minimal sewing, I have to pass them over. But then, I may be able to get someone else to do the sewing part and I could do the rest. Surgeons can sew. They can sew as well as the best quilters, I think. They even have different types of stitching, just like those who sew fabric. The only difference, really, is the material. Surgeons sew organs and muscle while the rest of the sewing population sews fabric and other nonliving material. And surgeons go to school for a good many years and practice under the more advanced and experienced for several additional years while sewing with fabric and those things are taught to children who simply get better as they practice and gain experience. These things occured to me when I was watching Grey's Anatomy when the surgeons were doing a surgery of some kind (of course) and Intern Stevens was shocked by the type of stitch that Intern Yang was doing. In the next episode it became clear that a surgeon cannot necessarily sew material. He's used to living breathing flesh so when the chief had to sew a button on his shirt, he was totally thrown off. Derek Shepherd did it for him. Dr. Shepherd proved to be a bit more versatile than the cheif. That could be because the chief's wife (who had just thrown him out, which explains why he was having to try to sew the button in the first place) was a homemaker. She was the sew-er, mender, of clothes, blankets, etc while he sewed human flesh and organs. Shepherd, on the other hand, was married to and divorcing a gyn/ob doctor/surgeon. Shepherd had to do his own mending. I'm not saying that anyone who sews can do surgery. I'm just saying that it does take sewing skills to be a surgeon. I can be neither and am greatful to those that can.
