Okay, so it was more like food colored water.

We are learning how to install IV lines right now. (No, I would never say “install” to a patient, but it sounds kind of fun). Wow, what a challenge! I put on a gown to protect my clothes, but water is much thinner than blood and it went all over the place!! I had a major spurting issue at one point and it went right through my pretty little gown. I guess my arm was a good bleeder. Yup, we just have arms. There is a lot more to putting in an IV than I had ever imagined! I will be practicing a LOT in my spare time.

Also, I have to prepare a presentation for the 5th graders next week. I am speaking in my son’s classroom. He so lovingly volunteered his ol’ mom to talk about the human body. Should be a good time. I just afraid of boring them to death. Hmm?

Not much exciting happening here this week. They are still talking about Brett Favre on the radio. That hasn’t gotten hold…..riiiiiight.
