Bye Ms. Collins

First, I hope your blister is okay, Ms. Collins. Take care of yourself.
Second, I was pretty sick myself for clinicals. Don't get sick around nursing students. I might have had a heart attack thinking that I might be having a heart attack.
I was able to give insulin with the flexpen. That was very neat! I also got to use iodoflex (iodine soaked substance) when changed a dressing.
My patient had Diabetes Type 2, copd, cvd, pvc's, chf, and was in for osteomyelytis. In other words, a train wreak. She was very intelligent, but did not pay attention to her diabetes other than to say, "Boy that sore is all of a sudden causing swelling all the way up my leg". We talked about what she could do to help herself, and she had heard it all before. She was very knowledgeable, but sort of hopeless. I hope and pray that she can turn it around to prevent further damage.
