Day 112 - Not only was the day IV stick day, but also 1 month till graduation. We spent most of the day sticking each other with 20 gauge needles. I managed to get my sticks in...two to be exact. The first one missed, but the second one brought out the blood.
My partner stuck me twice, but failed to get the IV started.
Ralph showed up at the end of the day for PT. We did some ab exercises. This involved us getting in various awkward positions, and as one cadet called said...he felt like an upside down turtle....
Day 113 - The morning started as usual...Dress out drill in the morning. This time we were left to ourselves to do head to head dress outs. Not one of my favorites, but we made it interesting. We had a prelims round. While I didn't win my prelim, I did improve my time to 1:18...picking up a whole 20 seconds. I also was not the slowest in the class this time.
We then had lecture (covering abdominal injuries) and continued throughout the afternoon doing various scenarios.
Day 114 - Today started out with lecture (abdominal injuries & skeletal injuries. Lt. wanted me to demonstrate the Traction splint. Problem was, is that is had never been put together. So after assembling it, I figured out how it worked, and away went the demonstration.
After our group lunch to Applebee's, we did skill stations (splinting) and prepared for Ralph.
Ralph had a simple course of 50 kettle bell swings, 10 pushups...followed by "swimming" across the gym floor, stopping four times at various intervals (accomplishing 50 total pushups)...then we had to do 100 rope swings....
All in a days work....
Tomorrow leaves only two Classroom friday's left...The END IS NEAR!
