Update and new toy

Well, I am half way done with my individual preceptorship clinical time. I have been working in the ER at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. So far it has been pretty good. I have gotten lots of practice starting IVs. I have only missed one so far, I am pretty proud of myself. I have seen some interesting things. There was a girl that went off a jump while snowboarding and landed on her back so they life flighted her to the hospital. I got to see what happens when a trauma comes in, even though it was a small one. We had a guy come in from the jail who was withdrawing from heroin and tried to kill himself with a shaving razor. He cut his neck and his wrist, but of course, a shaving razor won't do much damage. There are some people that come in for some really dumb things like a headache or a tooth ache. Then you have the parents who drag their kid in a like midnight because they have a fever or have been coughing. Some people...

Jerry and I went down to Provo yesterday to run some errands and do our Costco shopping and decided we would stop by Circuit City to see if their prices had come down at all. They are going out of business so all of their inventory is clearanced and has to be sold. We had talked about getting a nice TV with our tax returns, but weren't really sure that is what we were going to do. We walk through the TVs and see none of them have come down in price any from the last time we had looked. Jerry finds the Sims games he plays on the computer and is trying to decide between two. We are wandering around the store while he is trying to decide and come to the middle of the store where they have the TVs all boxed up. We see a Sony 46 inch that has a price tag of like $800. Right off the bat, we know there is something wrong. I go and find a sales person and ask him and of course, it was put on the wrong item. Well, Jerry finds a 40 inch Sony that is on sale for $1000, which is about $400 off. As, you probably guess, we ended up coming home with a new TV. Jerry is loving it. He even figured out he could hook the laptop up to it. And he says I never let him have any fun:)
