CPR
think that everyone who can should learn cpr you may save a life one day it could be a family member friend or stranger you can sign up for a class through the local american red cross, sometimes local hospitals or local medical clinics or fire departments
outside of clinic or hospital or er have done it only once
was driving on highway when came up on a wreck involving a small truck and a large truck
a man was laying across the seat and was having agonal breathing the wreck had just happened
as i approached the man one of my patients walked up the injured man needed cpr
my patient said doc i just finished taking my cpr class but i just cant do the mouth to mouth part
so i did it and he did the chest compressions the ambulance arrived with volunteers the problem was the mans leg was hung up in the door we could not transport him until the door was cut off the problem was we were 20 miles from the nearest fire department that could remove the door we did cpr for a long time
we eventually got him loose he was transferred to er-i went with them he eventually died in er from a rutptured aorta although he did not survive we at least gave him a chance my patient worked hard and did good cpr thanks to his cpr class
SISTERS BIRTHDAY TODAY
this is my oldest sisters birthday today want to wish her a happy birthday tell her thanks for taking care of us when we were younger thanks for helping me out when i needed help even though her husband yelled at me(its an inside joke) again haaaaaapppppy birthday sis
WATER TANK
the way my system works is that the rain falls on a metal roof goes through a foam filter in the gutter then to a downspout which is 8 ft long(any junk that missed the filter collects here-i later drain that and use it to water stuff) as it fills up it spills over into another downspout which goes under ground in a 4 inch line to a 300 gallon tank(any junk that escaped above goes into here) as it fills up it then will spill over into my large tanks where it is filtered through a filter sock so the water in my large holding tanks is debri/dirt/bug free
the water then sits until i need it
the 300 gallon tank is used for irrigation of garden trees shrubs etc
the only problem this week is i accidentally left the valve opened and drained it dry dang it
GRASS
when i first moved in this house it was covered with st augustine grass which i had to keep watered to keep green and had to mow regularly when we switched from well water to rainwater this did not make sense to use that much water for grass soooo
i covered it all up with black plastic and covered that with mulch
after a year i then started planting native plants and herbs in beds these dont require as much if any extra water i also planted a native grass of buffalo mixture dont water it ever mow it only once or twice a year
again happy birthday sis
