I went to the Ohio Society for Respiratory Care State Meeting the past 2 days. It was a pretty good conference. I learned a lot and have a few questions to take back to work tomorrow. And I got 10 CEU's for my $120. I should probably explain that as a licensed Respiratory Therapist, I need 20 CEU's in a 2 year period. I just renewed my license so I'm well on my way to getting all that I need.
While at the conference, I worked on content for our Respiratory Education Days in October and an in service I have to give on ventilators to our surgical residents. I know what I want to cover for the Education Days but I'm having a little problem with the resident talk. I know I have to go over our vents but they also want to learn how to make changes. I really am apprehensive...the therapists are going to be royally po'd if a resident makes a change but I also have the head of the surgical residents who wants us to play nice. It's gonna be a tight-rope walk for me - UGH!
I also got a call from Gary (my hubby) to tell me about our cars that we took to the shop on Monday. We have 2 Mini Cooper S's. Mine is a 2006 convertible and Gary's is my former 2003. Did I tell you I really like Minis! They drive like go-carts....very low to the ground, hugs the corners and oh by the way, they FLY! To make a long story short - mega bucks! We like the run flat tires and they are expensive. I also hit a pothole (must have been a doosey) and bent both of the front rims on the custom rims we bought. So....4 tires, 2 rims, rear brakes (Gary's) and oil pan gasket (Gary's) later, we are poor this week! As Gary said, "I'm working all week to pay for car repairs! You have to pay to play - apparently!
Tomorrow, I'm going out to dinner with my girls from work. We are going to celebrate Lisa's 50th birthday. It should be fun. We're going to the Old Bag of Nails at Broad and Nelson.
Later!
