so here is todays update. school is going well, but there are so many students in the class it is hard for all of us to get signed off on what we need to have before this modular ends. i'm feeling pretty overwhelmed and am relying on my sheer will to get me through this. hopfully within the next two weeks i will be able to complete everything i need. i am also currently discovering that during a blood draw.. the longer i have to hold the needle in the arm, the more nervous and jittery i become. i think it may be because i fear the needle wiggiling around or coming out. today i got signed off on a multi tube venipuncture (blood draw) and completely forgot to remove the torniquet! so when i removed the needle blood shot every where. i have done so well with blood draws thus far. i could have kicked myself making such a stupid mistake! i felt like a total idiot... needless to say the video got deleted as i NEVER want to relive that mistake again. i would just as well assume it never happened. my injections are looking good with the exception of my intradermals (injection given just below the skin.. usual for numbing purpouses). i am ALWAYS going too deep into the arm to get a good looking "wheel" (the area that stretches out to form a circle of fluid filled skin).  everything else is going well. tyler is currently looking for work and has had several oppertunities open up.. so hopfuly it wont be too long before he finds work.
