Surgery

This I believe was a bunionectomy, which can be done in ASC(ambulatory surgery center), so it's a same day surgery, the patient walks out with a cast on. Most the time they take no longer than 45 min.

Last days in the wonderful USA

I have decided to begin a blog so that I may document my next two years in Spain and my last few weeks here State side.

As of August 14th I will be flying from NAB Norfolk and entering into what will be my home for the next two years, Europe. And however excited I may be about my new home, I hope to get in as much good American country living within the next few weeks.

I will be stationed at NAVHOSP Rota, Spain for a period of no less than two years, and perhaps extend it to three.

I hope to document the next two years with lots of pictures and videos so I can share my experience with ya'll!

So far, my time in the Navy has been a great experience in many ways. I have been blessed by my goals being handed to me on a silver platter thus far. I just finished a 7mo long Surgical Tech program wich puts me one step closer to my goal of Med school after Spain.

I have enjoyed my temporary home in Portsmouth, VA as I have had time to travel the east coast and the atlantic ocean. But overall I dont feel like i am leaving anything behind as I travel to Spain.
