I really enjoyed this story about a lady winning the lottery by playing her fortune cookie numbers. The odds may be slim, but at least, they were in her favor for one draw.
The randomness of life hit me when I watched the news today and saw a familiar face. My BLS instructor, a big burly fireman, who taught at the community college here in RehabLand, was killed in a drunk driving accident. A woman was charged today.
He wasn't wearing his seatbelt while off-duty. The same guy who stressed how "seconds count", was himself gone in an instant.
Just makes me want to live this randomness to the fullest.
Because you just never know when your lotto numbers will win, or when someone you love won't be around.
Stay tuned...

How to have fun at work
I am so happy now most of our inspections are over for a while. Whew!
Now, I'm back to having fun doing other random stuff. Here's a few of the fun things I've gotten to do.
1. Keep the patient who wants to get me a plant for my office from getting in trouble with security. He keeps telling security he'll just borrow (er, steal) one or two from the lobby.
No thanks, I'm allergic to tropicals, especially ones that don't belong to me.
2. BLS class. Wow, things really have changed in the last couple of years.
3. Regular rehab groups. These support groups are arranged by our psychology staff and mediated by the presenters, which could be a physician one day, physical therapist another day or recently, yours truly.
I had the interesting class: I talked about education materials (like these) available at the Hotel's web portal. I even had handouts. To make it easier for patients to find information, the occupational therapists loaned me some laptops for patients to use.
I didn't have snacks, but it was a lot of fun.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring. Dr. X. is back in the house and she had me researching some equipment for the home health nurse to use. If we could get it, it would be very, very cool.
I won't hold my breath, but stay tuned...
