Tri-8, Wk2, Days 464, 465, 467, 468 - Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri

Time to catch up :)

We can start with yesterday, Saturday, 5/21/2011 at Laurel Park in St. Peters, MO where I worked on six patients from the Cystic Fibrosis charity event walk. It was tough keeping a dry eye while listening to the stories of some of the people I worked on. The very first lady I saw told me the 12 year old girl she was walking for had died last week.

Friday was a day of early meetings starting at 6:30 a.m. followed by classes, then clinic then a stop at a classmates house who was having a little pre-party followed by the beginning of Tri party held at Hot-Shots over on Manchester in MO. I learned a few new chiropractic type moves both at the clinic and with friends later on at the pre-party.

OBGYN was rather interesting, our teacher is an FACOG, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or, a fellow. As I understand things, specialist like this are kind of like Mega-Doctors. After they put in their four years to get their MD they go on for another 4 years learning about a specialized area, such as OBGYN.

ACK! well, my computer crashed yesterday and it looks like what was written above is all that got saved.

oh well - the darnest thing about OBGYN is when we were talking about various secretions and watching slides of those secretions on a ladies fingers and the teacher commented that it was OK to touch a vagina ....then she recanted and said, it's OK to touch your own vagina. It was quite interesting though because, as she pointed out, the more serous effusion & clearer type of secretion was easier for sperm to swim through and thus make it easier to get pregnant. Something else the teacher mentioned and I kind of want to confirm this with more sources but it was mentioned that Green Tea can help produce a vaginal secretion that is more conducive and hospitable to sperm.

Last Monday, I spent the evening at the ARC - Adult Rehab Center sponsored by the Salvation Army in downtown St. Louis. They open their doors for medical type care on Mondays & Wednesdays. We mainly just did physical type stuff, blood pressures and so forth along w/ some physical therapies and some adjusting when indicated. I did get a couple thumbs up from a few of the guys w/ the A to P move I layed on them ;)

OK, better get this posted and update things for today. (Mon, Wk3) :)
