I also went and changed the mouse pads on the lobby computers over by the gift shop. I looked through some of the codebooks.

I learned about the insulin pump that you put in your arm for two months and then change it every two months and it automatically gives you your insulin as needed, the insulin pen its like a syringe but it is easy to use for the elderly, the difference between the insulin and the pills. I also learned about portion of food that a diabetic is supposed to consume and the snack portion.

I also folded 500 Pamphlets GRRRRRRR! That’s what I call torture

I went to the cancer room this morning to find some cancer books that people ordered and it is so messy in there that I had a hard time to find some of them so I still have to look but I am done for now.

I did the inventory thing for Mr. Howko again and I attended a meeting for diabetes it was interesting it only lasted an hour but they were thinking about how they could reach out it was interesting and some of the ideas were too. But I think they should do like a donation thing instead of $15. I also SMOGed some pamphlets for Linda while I Waite for Lisa to get me for one of her classes that I am going to observe. I observed part of the class it was on child delivery it was interesting on what I saw on it. I am going down to the cath lab tomorrow and then radiology on Wednesday and Thursday.
