Fingers And Thumbs

My entry for the Transglobal Informal Challenge "Fingers And Thumbs" .

These fingers and thumbs may one day belong to a Veterinary Surgeon - my daughter Katie, who
after 4,000 hours of lectures in the last four years and 120 hours of revision in recent weeks
is preparing for her final academic exams.

Likewise her brother and sister have very important exams this year too!

Best of luck everyone!!!!

(Secretly, I think they are in awe of my 'Farm Tractor Maintenance Proficiency Certificate'! LOL)

lominectomy??? Whoa thats a big word :)
John that FTMP certificate is one I've aspired to as well!
Much easier to get the CPPS certificate I believe and a whole lot more enjoyable!!! LOL

hi doc....the spine looks pretty tricky but those surgical hands should have no problem to the task at all. :)

Wish her all the best from us, but with all that work at least she won't be relying on luck.
