4/16/2013

I don't even know what to say...2 bombs went of at the finish of the Boston marathon at 5am my time so I woke up to several messages and texts.  Luckily, one of the messages was my sister who lives in Boston telling me that she was ok.   All my friends who ran are uninjured as well.  How horrible.  Teaches me not to complain about the small stuff.  Of all the Marathon related things I read today the only one I feel like sharing is the report that upon learning about the bombs uninjured runners coordinated themselves to run to the hospital and donated enough blood to treat all those with blood loss.

Other than that overbearing tragedy,  I had a pretty good day.  I was able to participate in 2 meetings where I coordinated discharge plans for my patients with the medical team and the patient's family.  I also got to see a botox injection.  It is pretty cool.  They inject under EMG and electrical stimulation to insure that they hit the correct muscle and correct part of the muscle.  The whole process for an arm with contracture spasm is about 30 minutes.

Sending love to anyone who needs a hug today.  Things may stink but there is a shorty in Australia who cares about you.  <3
