soooo ive a rather odd week..
first of all.. one of my friends who i work with in admissions went into cardiac arrest while playing basketball with some friends.. if he had not been were he was and it occuring at the time it did, tendai would probably be dead right now.. athletic training students and 2 ATC's (athletic trainer certified) had to perform rescue breathing and started CPR before the ambulance came.. he was rushed to the hospital, induced into a coma for 2 days, and today i went to visit him and he looks OK.. i mean, hes 20 and had, for you non-medical ppl, basically a heart attack (but not really.. it was something else, but i doubt anyone reading this a. cares b. would know what i was talking about) but i when i went and saw him today he was still pretty out of it.. he reinduced my friend megan i went with to his gf megan.. which was pretty funny bc he did that this morning as well.. he looked at me for a little bit and then he was like thanks for coming alice.. they said that him remembering stuff is good, but it takes him a little bit.. he was without oxygen for over 4 minutes (ive heard up to 7, but doubt that) which is really bad for your brain... sooooo ya.. tomorrow hes getting a defibulator put in and testing on his brain to see the extent of the damage.. and he gets to leave the hospital monday if everything keeps going well... its so sad bc hes soooo nice :"(
other than that... i typed a case study in one hour and fifteen minutes at midnight.. i didnt know i had a stats test today until i asked someone yesterday about it.. track and school keep me hella busy.. and i miss going visiting to my friends... i should hang out with chambers and dano.. hell they are all of 5 minutes from me, but im lazy and tired by the end of the day but thats no excuse..
well ill be in madison friday or saturday, most likely saturday though.. hopefully ill see some ppl.. :) until then, im out!
