so it's been awhile

From CNA to RN-BSN from 3 bikes to 5 of mine and 5 more yard ornaments. The Miles have subsided and the career has expanded.

Got to visit the family in Utah for a whirlwind trip, had a blast.

This is the best picture I have taken of where I'm from. Its beautiful.

So much work on the back patio, more to come on upgrades, from junk to rolling wrecks.

Nosebleed 101

It has been years since I have had nose bleeds and after 6 in as many days I still had not found a good way to stop the flow on my heavy days. I am already on a fairly aggressive prophylaxis treatment plan with my anti hemophiliac factor VIII, 3 times a week 4400i.u. At 102 kilos. The dry weather, my new living conditions with 2 dogs, 2 cats and a super sweet smoker may have contributed a little, but my over aggressive stuffy nose solution created a geyser in the middle of my face.in short I blew my nose too hard and have not successfully stopped the same nose bleed 6 days in a row. After an untimely event while working in the skilled nursing center I work at I was corrected by no less than 2 nurses that I knew nothing of stopping a nose bleed. I was lying on my back, with tissue stuck up one nostril and tasting the blood flow go down the back of my throat. 20 minutes later I still had the same nose bleed. I was instructed to lean forward, apply direct pressure to the bridge of nose with tissues and ice. 5 minutes later I'm doing fine writing this. Thought y'all should know.

this is my new exercise routine

There is nothing severe about >1% hemophilia, unless you let it. Here is proof of the superbleeder in action. Drinking on the second floor with out a helmet. Running with slow people and hiking in a very public place. Danger...not really. Life, absolutly.

I suppose I should add something to this event as it marks an epic moment in my journey of life. I have had a very full life of many different things and activities, but sharing them seems more prolific in the simple act of making it known. I have met individuals with absolutely horrible physical disabilities and have seen these people overcome those atrocities with vigor and resolution that would make most people turn off tv and go back to school. It has not had that effect on me obviously as I am a CNA in an SNF, more than leaving myself open to suggestion. I have been very fortunate to receive an education in ignorance. Today I rode over to a scuba shop to hang with some friends and talk myself quickly out of an artificial death under water, then motorcycle my way over to the Harley Davidson shop to look at overpriced bikes with over rated equity. I love what I do and the people in my life, while I may sound exasperated, my life is ideal and I wouldn't change much. I will let you know the super in my super bleeder standard at a later date. I am training for many different physical acts that a severe hemophiliac should not probably take part in, but with proper diet, exercise and sleep. I see know reason that I would not be as successful as any other individual. (oh, and Factor VIII)
