Had an interesting day today ... my First Aid qual was up for renewal so I was on a course with 14 others from D2D. Covered CPR, bleeding, strokes, diabetes and epilepsy ...
The CPR also covered using De-Fibrillators, as they are now set up to be used by anybody - the machines check what the heart is up to and then tells you whether you need to use it or not .. even if you press the wrong button it is set up not to shock if the heart doesn't need it, not that I would want it tried out on me lol?
So now up to date on that - and I even managed to "blow-up" the Resusci-Annie this time ..last time I did it I was just getting over pneumonia n didn't have enough puff to blow out a candle! One lady was so good at it the head fell of the Annie she was using!!!
Just off to get some tea now, then I will print off my family tree n see where the gaps are now I have finally found the option that allow me to print off all the relatives n not just direct ancestors
