NOT Sci-Fi

I typically watch The Today Show in the mornings while getting ready for work. While SuperD and I follow the stories, C is usually off in his own little world. But yesterday, a story caught his eye. He heard about a soldier who had a double arm transplant. He watched, riveted, as they showed computer animation of how they completed the surgery by attaching first the bone, then the blood vessels, muscles, tendons, and nerves, and finally the skin. We were all amazed. (And a little creeped out, since it brought images to mind of Frankenstein and his monster.) But C was truly impressed that such a thing is even possible. He couldn't hold in his excitement.

C: This is, like, the best hospital people ever!
