In reply to Tauni. I've been wondering how your clavicle is healing, Taun. I know however it goes, slowly or almost done knitting soon, you will trust and praise God through the whole thing. Think what a delight you must be to Him. xoxox

This is fascinating to me as well. I took an anatomy & physiology class once in college and was absolutely as amazed as you at the wonder of God’s inventions and design in our body. Especially the fact that nothing is wasted and every little, teeny, thing has a purpose. In looking at photo you embedded under the “click here”, I can see a great angle of where my clavicle was fractured right at the acromial process. Still on the mend, but grateful that it will all work as it was intended again some day!!

In reply to Kay in Cornwall, UK. I think you're right Kay. But even watching blood being drawn with a tiny needle from the inside of someone's arm on TV is icky to me. Even at a distance. I think it's one of those Pavlovian things, where if I see it, I instantly feel a reaction. :O xo

Julie, I think that when we watch surgery online, we instinctively know that we won’t be able to smell or touch any of the gore. But I’m like you in that I can’t watch blood taken from myself or someone else if I can touch and smell all that’s happening. When viewing something online or on T.V. it’s almost as if the procedure is sanitised or desensitised by distance.

In reply to Kay in Cornwall. I've always been fascinated by anatomy and physiology too, Kay. I like to watch surgeries online, but seeing blood drawn in someone's arm makes me a little sick. Somehow that doesn't make sense why I can watch one and not the other, but oh well. :) xoxo

Ooh, I love seeing pictures showing how we’re put together! Human biology fascinates me, but pictures are enough. For instance, I would most definitely not be too keen on viewing an operation in real life!

In reply to Diane. I like the way you look at things, Diane. Even writing about your sciatic pain was hopeful and redemptive! Thank you for stopping by here... xoxoxo

Really, truly, lovely, Julie. Though I sympathize with Ganeida’s squeamishness–thank God for cloaking us in skin!

As I read, one of my own trouble spots–my left sciatic nerve, is singing along loudly in a minor key to your major chord praise of God’s handiwork. I am thinking that perhaps we can use specific body mis-functions to praise His amazing design–and rejoice in the day of perfect healing when this mortal is clothed in immortality. What will we see when we gaze at our scapulae then?

In reply to Ganeida. Ganeida you are funny! A bone gives you the willies? Well, then, you have all your fortitude stored up for spiritual things! Hugs to you... xoxo

Julie, with utmost love I say to you what I say a lot to my older daughter Our inside bits are hidden for a reason. 😛 I saw more than enough of her insides when she broke her collar bone. I swear, that girl was obsessed with her x~rays & showed everybody. However, I couldn’t look too closely because inside bits have a high *ick* factor for me. A passing glance assures me they look more like angel wings than anything else. 🙂 And like you I am immeasurably grateful all the inside bits work as they ought.
