Well, it's been a while since I posted. Things have been, um... interesting.

My job at Raley Field is going well. I really do love medicine. And I even became an unwitting patient on my way to work on July 4th. I caught my right foot in a hole in the parking lot (a dirt lot with gravel all over it), and did a face plant to the ground. Wiped out my left knee (gnarly roadrash from the knee down about 6 inches onto my shin). A fair amount of gravel embedded in my left palm, and stickers in the right palm. I actually didn't smack my face in the ground (thankfully). So, I walked to work, clocked in (people staring at my bleeding leg), and went into the first aid office... I became patient #3 that day. Even had to write up a stinkin' report on the whole incident, since it happened on company property... sheez.

Well, 12 days later, it is still kinda sore when I go down on that knee. Guess I bruised the crap out of the tissue underneath (patellar tendon possibly or the bone?). But it is getting better. Hasn't stopped me from working, though (not sure anything will).

Finished up my DMAT training (Huge amount of training to do... all online!). Woo hoo! Into medicine? Want to use your talents to help others? Join your local DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team). Hey, they can use folk without medical experience also! Do a Google search for DMAT and the initials of your state to find them.
