First Aid Kit!

The other day, I was invited to a graduation party/bonfire for a bunch of my friends who graduated this year! It was really exciting! While at this party, we were throwing around a football and my "bestie" didn't catch the football and apparently dislocated her finger. She flipped out and popped it back in. In serious pain, she started to feel dizzy walking to the house. Feeling compelled to help her out, I went to check out the situation.

I found her in a bedroom with a package of frozen bacon on her hand. "I can't move it, it hurts so bad." hmmmmm well what resources do I have to help her. I found a large tongue depressor, cloth, a safety pin, and some masking tape. She was able to move it, but she was in so much pain. her thumb swelled up pretty good, so I left it loose enough for the inflammation. I wrapped it enough to where she couldn't move her thumb. She then carried a bag of frozen coconut balls the rest of the night. I would say I did a pretty good job with what I had. I told her to go get it checked out. Half her hand was black and blue. = /

After that experience, I was like "I need a first aid kit, bad!" So walmart here I come! I got this tool box looking thing and made my own. I bought a first aid kit that had band-aids and such, but I wanted a "heavy-duty" first aid kit. So here's what I got . . . band-aids of all sizes, a tube of neosporin, a tube of anti-itch cream, a bottle of Tylenol, adhesive ace bandages, cloth ace bandages, 4X4 gauze pads, tongue depressors, tweezers, alcohol swabs, anti-septic swabs, gloves, burn-gel, roll of gauze, steri-strips, cold pack, scissors, first-aid tape, rubbing alcohol, cotton swabs, and the only thing I can think of that I needed was a thermometer. So my first aid kit looked pretty good! And this will last me a while!! :)

I was soooooo excited! Because the majority of my closest friends are guys, I feel like having this first aid kit was a pretty darn good idea! haha :)
