Logan & Brent's Big Day

Logan had an orchestra concert tonight.  He is playing a 3/4 bass.  This is the size that most adult bass players play.  I think he will be playing a full size bass in a year or two.  He is already 6' 2" tall.


He had already put the bass away so we didn't get a shot of him holding it.


Today was also a fun day for me.  I got to give 2 shots to another student.  The first one was just under the top layer of skin - called an intradermal injection.  The second one was below the skin but before the muscle - called a subcutaneous injection.  Sadly we won't be giving any shots into the muscle at nursing school.  We might get to do these in a few weeks when we start our long term care at the nursing home.  We are assigned a patient and we take care of them and do everything a nurse would to.  Medications, dressings, bathing, bathroom doootie, etc.  Not looking forward to that last one!  Here is a photo of my first subcutaneous injection.



I've been told that the bald guy is me.
