I am alive.
Just stopping in to let everyone know that contrary to popular belief, I am in fact alive. Im working 8hrs 3 days a week now, and going to school/clinical the other 4days of the week, so I rarely get a chance to leave San Diego. Im in pediatrics and OB now and nothing could be more terrifying. I am counting the days till this semester is over. I can't wait. All the physiological changes that occur throughout the 40ish weeks of pregnancy really makes me nauseated for some reason. Blood, diarrhea, poo, pee, sputum,broken bones... all do not bother me one bit, even when I have to clean it off patients... but just listening t0 one lecture about any part of the pregnancy cycle makes my stomach churn. It's a complete miracle, and it completely freaks me out haha.

Activate the Emergency Response system
I had my Emergency Room rotation today at the same hospital where I work at today. It is always nice to get a break from the repetative Med-Surg routine I have been doing for two semesters now. I was in the ER for about 8 hours today and it was INSANE. Couple of main events of the day I gave...
3 Intramuscular Injections - Deltoid and Ventro-Gluteal(huge needle)
1 IV line started
1 NasoGastric tube inserted
1 viewing of an inctubation
1 viewing of defibrilation ( one of my life long dreams is to defibrilate someone. I know it's twisted)
1 suppositorial medication insertion... haha.
After today I'm thinking ER nursing may be enough excitement to hold my interest. I get to watch a surgery tomorrow though... so we shall see.

medical tape.
So jessica just got a Wii for her birthday. This in turn means now I have a means of practicing for gaming that has taken place at my family's family gatherings ever since... (yeah, I was planning on finishing that sentence but i do not remember a time that videogames were not a part of my familiys celebratory events). There was a time when each family had an N64 in it's household, so when we got to competing, everyone was pretty fimiliar with the games/controls. I am now however more of a Xbox360 "gamer" putting me at a slight disadvantage to the already "gamer gamers" that is my family. Because the Wii has the huge perk of having many games with the option of 4 players, the Wii is obviously the go to system at all parties. That being said...
... Me and Jessica rented Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles. This game has an option to be used with a Wii gun. I got one of the Wii guns for free with a wii remote battery charger purchase via ebay. So in order for me and jessica to play at the same time I either had to buy another Wii gun... or make one. Pictures shown below.
I ended up finally using this wooden sake set i bought in SanFran last year as the base and some medical tape. I think it works/feels ten times better than the wii gun.

I have another disease
I have recently self-diagnosed myself with pre-hypertension.
According to my notes, pre-hypertension is characterized by having a systolic blood pressure between 120-139, and/or a diastolic of 80-89, on two different occasions. So, because I sit on a closed floor of the hospital when I work graveyard, and have nothing to do, I just out of curiosity took my blood pressure. Im running at about 139/85. I took my blood pressure again after two hours passed, and it was around that same value again. I then took my BP again two days later and it was still there.
I am now attempting a low sodium/fat/cholesterol diet. I should probably start exercising again too, but that is honestly probably not going to happen until schools out.
In other news, we are starting to learn how to start IV's really soon. INTENSE.
