Torn

So since its spring(yes, I know there is snow on the ground still but as of March 20 the calendar says its springtime) Cam has been seeing all these motorcycles on the road and has started looking at getting one. My first thought: That would be so fun.....go for rides and small trips on the bike, save some money on gas, etc. My immediate second thought: Bad idea.....what if he gets in an accident, what if he dies!

So.....I'm torn. I don't want to be the fun-sucker/anti-adventurous wife who says no. I also don't want to be a widow at 23 either. What do I do? I know he would be a safe driver but I worry about the other drivers, not him. I actually think it would be pretty fun to take a ride with him and be adventurous. But on the other hand I have spent a few days at the hospital on the Shock Trauma ICU floor and I've seen a couple of pretty messed up people come in from motorcycle accidents. They look awful and are in so much pain, and those are the ones that were lucky enough to survive. Now I completely understand that accidents happen and broken bones heal, however broken brains don't! Should I let him get a bike or am I sentencing myself to become a widow if I do??????????


P.S. that pic is the bike he is looking at getting.

Friday the 13th

So here is something random I learned at the Hospital today, which just happens to be on a Friday the 13th. Hospitals don't have a 13th floor. The elevator numbers go from 12 to 14....no 13 folks. Hospitals don't have a room #13 on any of the floors. I found this out today while trying to find a patient in room 12 and walked right past it because it was next to room 14 and I assumed that the room after 14 was 13 not 12. Crazy huh!

My Embarassing Wal-Mart story

So today I got out of the hospital a little earlier than usual so I thought I would use this time to run a few errands. I start gathering my few items I needed at the local Wal-Mart, then called Cameron to see if he could think of anything else we needed before I checked out. Well, after the phone conversation my few items turned into lots of items (this actually happens more often than not.) I planned on using the cash I had with me but soon realized I was a little over. No worries right?....I'll just put the rest on my Debit card. So i go to grab the Debit card and see it is not in my wallet. I almost panic then remember I left it in my coat pocket at home. Ok plan B... I will just use the Credit card. So i handed the patient cahsier my credit card and then the receipt of DOOM pops up. You know...the one that tells you you credit card didn't go through. She looks at me and says, "Your card has expired." My face goes BRIGHT RED. My card expired the end of Feb. and I hadn't put the new one in my wallet since I don't use it that often. I scramble through my purse to make sure there is nothing there to save my soul and ease my embarasement. Nothing. My face goes even brigher red and I sheepishly tell the cashier I'll have to leave my stuff and go get my card from home. By this time 3 or 4 more people have started to form a line behind me so I turn to all of them with a tomatoe red face and apoligize for holding up the line. I get outside and call Cameron and tell him my stupid story and ask him to come rescue me. He drives to Wal-Mart and goes back into the store with me to buy my items. What a great husband.....and what a forgetful wife I am. :)

Draper Temple Open House

We had the awesome opportunity to go to the Draper Temple open house with my family last night. It was really a neat experience. The last open house I went to was the Bountiful temple when I was 9 and I really don't remember much from it, so It was really great to see this after I had been through the temple and knew what each room was. The temple was absolutely gorgeous! The wood was imported cherry wood from Africa, the stone was from China, limestone from France, and the granite from Italy. WOW! everything was so beautiful. I am so grateful we have so many temples close to us, what a blessing! I highly recommend going through it if you haven't already. The open house goes through Saturday, March 14.

Lost but Loving it

Yesterday was my first day of my last clinical, and oh how I love it. I for one am shocked at how much I love it already, and Its only my second day. I am working inpatient at Intermountain Medical Center(IMC). My clinical instructor and all the Physical Therapy staff there are amazing and really know their stuff.

First let me just tell you how HUGE this hospital is. It has like 6 different buildings and a bazillion, yes bazillion, elevators. Ok so it really doesn't have a ton of elevators, it just feels like it because I seem to get off at a different place every time I ride them(maybe i should start taking the stairs). At least now I can recognize that I am lost and usually wander my way back to where I am supposed to be. It is a maze and only certain elevators access all the floors, but I am slowly learning.

I thought I would not like this last clinical as much, mostly because I love Outpatient Orthopedics so much, but again I was pleasantly surprised to find how much I am enjoying myself. I work on the orthopedic/neuro floor and see a lot of patients just out of surgery. I also treat patients in the ICU. I had never set foot in an ICU until Monday and have always pictured an ICU as this crazy, intense, and traumatic place where people are dead or dying. So you can imagine my shock(and facial expression) when they told me we were going into the ICU to sit people up in bed and walk some of them around the ICU floor. Crazy huh. For those of you who have been to the ICU or work in the ICU its not so crazy, but to me....CRAZY! I work 7 days on and 7 days off. Tomorrow is the start of my 7 off so I will continue to update everyone as the adventure continues. :)

Yes I am a Slacker

Alright I've been slacking on my blogging duties. So here is an update of what has been going on.
Cameron and I moved to a cute little duplex in Bountiful at the beginning of Feb. It is so nice to be back in Davis County. :)

I start my last clinical at Intermountain Medical Center tomorrow and I'm SO nervous. I've never worked in a hospital before and it will be a completely different experience from what I'm used to. I am getting closer and closer to graduation! yay!

Cameron is still working hard at Dish network. Some days it is long hours but I'm so grateful to him for working his butt off so I can finish school. What a stud! Also on a side note...I've been sick the last few days and Cam has been so good to take care of me! Thanks honey! :)
