Belize-Part 2, Saturday

This was the day we hit the ground running!! We did 16 surgeries on Saturday....it was one long day in the OR!! It was worth it because it was 16 people's lives that we changed on that day. And we might have had fun while we were doing it....okay, we did have a lot of fun!! If you don't have your sense of humor, then what do you have.....


This is the eye team....a.k.a Dr. Gilliland and his girls!!!

Cindy getting ready for the day ahead...

There you have it....all the players on the Eye Team! Here are some random pictures from Saturday....
At some point we started to lose our minds.....
So you would think after a long day like this we would go back to our hotel and go straight to bed. Ummm...not so much.

I'm not really sure why we thought this picture was so funny....fatigue, I guess! And check out my awesome support hose.....I had to wear them day and night to keep my cankles under control. Don't be jealous....

Until next time....
