Get Your Own Pulse Reader

So I have been wondering how is it going to be when I started using the Sphygmomanometer if I ever get into the nursing program. I had a chance to use them before but it's really hard for me to figure out how to actually read it. It would be nice if nurses don't have to use the manual one and just use those modern blood pressure checker. It's all digital, you don't really have to do much in order to get your blood pressure reading.

I found some of the cool ones online and I even saw a hospital quality pulse oximeter. Basically this device is used to check your pulse using your fingers. I added an image above so you can see what the device is. I think it's pretty cool that a lot of the devices are not digital which makes it easier for hospital workers to get vitals, pulse and results from patients. Making work easier.

Extravanga Easter Egg Hunt!

Finally something interesting to do for easter here in our area. We have been living her for 3 years now, almost years... time flies and I haven't seen any interesting stuff that I can take my daughter. I guess I can't complain, the city is really small and there's not that many people in the area. But the thing that I don't understand is that the schools here are really looking good... building wise anyway... I'm not sure about the teachers and administration though. I guess we are going to find out in the coming years once my daughter start going to school.

So I was browsing some stuff tonight and I came across the website of the chamber of commerce, look up some of the activities that the community have and I found out that there will be an easter egg hunt. Whohoo!! Finally, I don't have to take my daughter somewhere else just to do egg hunting.

I also found out that they are looking for some businesses who wants to sponsor and I was thinking that maybe we can promote our car audio business since this is more of a local business. I saw some promotional items that we can use during the egg hunt (tote bags with the name of our business and what services we are offering and maybe add some treats inside as well)that we can give to the kids so they can use it as a bag for their eggs. Not a bad idea right.

I have to talk it over to my husband because he works on Saturday and the event is Saturday. And if I want my daughter to do egg hunting I need somebody to watch the booth. But then again, my daughter can help out handing out the tote bags... she'll like that.. but she won't be able to do egg hunting.

Easy as 1...2...3

Lately I have been thinking what will happen if one of us (me and my husband)passed away. And if I think it really hard, I can't come up with an answer. So I have been thinking of maybe purchasing term life insurance just in case something happen.

I found this website and comparing quotes was really easy.


I just have to type in a few information and it gives me price comparison from different provider. I'm actually amazed at how much you have to pay them for a certain amount of policy. I can't wait to work and be able to afford one. I am definitely using this website again to find the life insurance that will work for us.

Convenience

Now a days you can almost find everything online. Looking for job for instance, I don't know anybody who use the newspaper anymore to find jobs. I for one, is so used to using the internet for almost everything. Sometimes I am thinking what will happen to me if there is no internet... although when I was a child we didn't have any television or electricity. Yup, very primitive... but it was good because you learn how to be creative and you know more about nature and your surroundings.

But like with anything, its always good to have an advance technology.

I can't imagine having to look for a job and I don't have an internet connection. I'll probably use newspaper but not everybody advertise on newspaper.

If however, you live in Philly you can always find philly jobs online. Making the search easier and convenient. You don't even have to go outside the comfort of your home. Just log in online and you can start searching for jobs. Apply for job, upload your resume and just wait.

Catch Rain Water

Unless you live in Colorado which used to forbids its citizens from catching rain water, you should indeed set yourself up to do so.

Doing so can help you keep up with the watering of your lawn at the same time lower your water bill. Like for us folks in Texas it is definitely something to think about. You can use different types of container including a stainless steel drums.

What you can do is simply place an open bucket (I recommend a 55 gallon one) at the base of your roof’s run off. You will be shocked at just how fast you can fill up a 55 gallon container with just a couple of mild rain storms. This water can be used for watering your garden and cleaning.

I've been telling my husband about making one for we are getting a lot of rain during spring and we definitely need it for our yard during summer. I bet we can fill 10-20 of these barrel in a day.

Commercials

I was watching TV this morning and I've noticed that there more and more commercials about Mesothelioma Cancer and how people acquire them. Also, there are commercials where they tell you how to get help.

To tell you honestly, I have no idea what is Mesothelioma and how you can get it until I started taking Biology classes. So I was always intrigued and I always asked my husband what was it all about. It helps to know that there are help out there for people who were exposed.

According to National Cancer Institute:

Mesothelioma occurs more often in men than in women and risk increases with age, but this disease can appear in either men or women at any age. Mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer. About 2,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States each year.

Working with asbestos is the major risk factor for mesothelioma. A history of asbestos exposure at work is reported in about 70 percent to 80 percent of all cases. However, mesothelioma has been reported in some individuals without any known exposure to asbestos.

Symptoms of mesothelioma may not appear until 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Shortness of breath and pain in the chest due to an accumulation of fluid in the pleura are often symptoms of pleural mesothelioma. Symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma include weight loss and abdominal pain and swelling due to a buildup of fluid in the abdomen. Other symptoms of peritoneal mesothelioma may include bowel obstruction, blood clotting abnormalities, anemia, and fever. If the cancer has spread beyond the mesothelium to other parts of the body, symptoms may include pain, trouble swallowing, or swelling of the neck or face.

These symptoms may be caused by mesothelioma or by other, less serious conditions. It is important to see a doctor about any of these symptoms.


Personally for me anything that has something to do with cancer is scary. I always have this mind set that whenever someone is diagnosed with cancer, any type of cancer will passed away of cancer.

So if you think that you may have been exposed to asbestos or that you suspect or encounter of these symptoms, its best to consult a doctor. Only a doctor can make the diagnosis.
