CPR CERTIFIED !!!!!
Okay, I admit it!!! I'm a mother of a ( almost ) 3 year old, and I'm JUST NOW completed a CPR course today. By the grace of GOD, I haven't needed it on my own child....but I feel like it's REALLY important, and what took me sooo long??!!!! As I took this course, I began the course feeling like a hero already! I could NOW save my baby...someone else's baby...AN ADULT!! WOW!!! I could be very VALUABLE to a stranger in need.....this is too cool. My Instructor was Hawaiian, and ALL OF IT!! He was a bigger man, and as most Hawaiian men are, FUNNY AS HELL!! He was making light of situations...to the point of it was though he was a comedian and I was his audience!! nobody ( well , one guy-he too was hawaiian) was seeing his humor. I looked around the room and everyone else was very "Mainlander". They seemed agitated at his having a little fun. I felt the need to stop laughing when he told stories...I think he enjoyed someone "getting" his humor, and as long as I was his audience, he was going to keep going. WHAT PRESSURE ON ME!!! come on people....they were ALL SO SERIOUS!!
Time continues on.....now anyone that KNOWS ME....knows I have a little secret....I AM A HYPOCONDRAITE!!!!! Not too much anymore, but It does creep up now & then. So we get into "Heart Attacks" & the symtoms....now ALL OF A SUDDEN, I CANT BREATHE!!!! MY PALMS ARE SWEATY, yeah, I feel pressure in my chest ( basically what ever he is saying...I START FEELING IT)!!!! Oh get a grip girl!!!! I can be sooo pathetic that way.... he says " Now, STROKE symtoms" I think "Dear God, I just had a heart attack, I don't think I can bear to have a STROKE RIGHT NOW!!!!" I slowly get a GRIP ( after much praying ) then we take the quiz....I got a A- thank you, thank you.....I get in my car and think "WHO IS GOING TO SAVE ME??" I come home and my husband says " how did it go?" I flashed him my certificates and said " It took a heart attack & a stroke, but I SURVIVED!!" . In ALL SERIOUSNESS, I really can save your life after that class...that's all that matters.
