It seems like an endless string of surgeries and that there is no end in sight. I love my work and I enjoy doing surgeries but for some reason, this is not enjoyable at all. I just keep thinking about the soldier's families waiting for them at home. Thinking that they are okay but in the meantime, they going to come back without an arm or a leg.
I know that the family is aware of the risks when they said goodbye to them but you never really think that they might come back in such a state. I try to do my best with every surgery. Before I have to cut off a limb I make sure that I did everything to keep it. But sometimes there is just no way of keeping it.
With every cut that I give, I feel sad and I hope that they would be able to live the way that I leave them. I will keep on doing my very best because they have given their lives to our country. As I go on through the day I see the sun starting to set and my mind can not help wondering back to Nick.
