Life & Health

Life - Get Married ~ When I was younger I used to think that my life wouldn't be anything if I didn't get married. When I was in my teens I said that if I wasn't married by the time I was 26 I wouldn't get married.
- Have a Child/Children ~ Thought that having kids would be great when I was in my late teens and early 20's. Have changed now but could change my opinion again. - Adopt a Child ~ I know that adopting a child could change the life better for one child as there are too many children that don't have anybody to call mom or dad. - Sign a Organ Donor Card ~ I know too many people that have needed Organ Transplants and benefited from this. Namely Russell. - Write a Will ~ I know I have nothing that anybody wants but that might change. - Write a Living Will (advanced health care directive) ~ I don't want others to have to decide what too do if I go into a coma or if something serious happens to me. When working at the hospital I saw too many people uncertain and fight over what a loved one would want done. - To Die ~ This should be my last thing on my list to get checked off. (unless I get published after I die) - To Own my own place ~ I think that the pride of owning your own place would be great. This could be a House, Cabin or House Trailer.

Health
- Set a Broken Bone ~ When I was 14 I broke my thumb and enjoyed how the doctor made sure my thumb was in place before casting it. Several years later I helped a doctor fix a dislocated hip. - Witness an Autopsy ~ When I was in my Nursing Assistant Course I signed up for to watch an Autopsy but that got canceled. - Learn Wilderness First Aide ~ To many things can go wrong while out in the outdoors and you don't always have the required supplies and resources that you would in urban areas. - Donate Blood ~ I knew at a young age that there was always a need for that and would always be. When I worked at the Hospital I noticed the need even more. - Learn CPR ~ Recall my Dad learning CPR when I was a kid and having to use it on my sister when she was 4 or 5 years old. Knew then that this was something I wanted to know how to do. - Witness a Surgery ~ Loved watching surgeries on TV in my teens and seeing pictures in books. When I was 16 I had surgery on my hand and was told I could watch but upon getting into the surgery the surgical nurses said I couldn't watch. A year later I had another surgery and asked if I could watch that one but I was put under for that one.
