| Topics: | plastic surgery, medicine, quilting |
| Description: | I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I may "suture for a living", but I "live to sew". When I can, I sew. These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public. |

Autumn Blooming 9-Patch Quilt
I pulled out several fat quarters to use to make this scrappy version of the blooming 9-patch. The colors make me think of fall. It is 42 in X 58 in, machine pieced and quilted. I gave it to a friend for her daughter.

Tongue-tied
My mother who would have turned 75 today had she lived told me many times that I did not begin speaking until I was almost 3 years old. It turned out, as the story goes, that I was tongue-tied (ankyloglossia). Apparently, after my frenum was snipped I quickly began speaking normally and was soon called “motor mouth” as they couldn’t shut me up. The section of the 1908 textbook,

Haikus
It seems I inspired T, Notes of an Anesthesioboist, recently to write a beautiful Haiku. I was encouraged by Dr Rob, Musings of a Distractible Mind, who is holding a contest.

ASPS News on Breast Reductions
The ASPS News Brief section has two updates listed related to breast reductions regarding papers presented at last week’s American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Plastic Surgery 2009 conference which I wasn’t able to attend. According to ASPS statistics, nearly 89,000 breast reductions were performed in 2008, up 5 percent since 2000. The first one is a pilot study conducted
