What I did today

I took an industrial first aid course today. I've taken different courses over the years but I haven't had to write a TEST in 28 years!!! I am pleased to say I got 22 correct answers out of 25.

I thought - what if I had really applied myself, studied the book, practiced, etc. I might have received 100% on the test. If I take the next level I will try harder.

The only bad part about today - my left arm hurts!!! They used me to demonstrate a different technique for rolling over "large chested patients." This resulted in my left elbow basically getting crushed when I was rolled. Later we had to practice chest compressions for 4 straight minutes and my 'extensor digitorum' is now protesting!!! Guess I will pop 2 Advil and go to bed.
