As posted elsewhere, I'm sorry you were hit, rocky. And SO glad you wear gear, in case you'd gone down instead! Now go take that hot bath-soak. Best book is something light, like a historical romance or fantasy or something. >'Kat You mean something like "An Affair to Remember"? Is this a veiled attempt to get me to wear that pink jacket again?  Guys got to do some guy stuff like eat something with Bacon and lots of it to get over something traumatic. Think Tim Allen and More Power.  Thanks for the kind thoughts and don't worry I'll find a suitable substitute. With the rain today and my degenerative bone disease flairing up a good session under the Oxygenating Shower with the temp set high sounds good.

I am glad you are okay other than shaken up.

You mean something like "An Affair to Remember"? Is this a veiled attempt to get me to wear that pink jacket again? No, I mean something like by Cathy Maxwell (my current fave) or Sylvia Thorpe (who had lots of action and swords and stuff, and very little kissing, and no sex--THAT's how a hist romance should be!) And if you'd been wearing that pink jacket, I bet the SUV guy would've seen you, despite being in the big hurry, and he wouldn't have hit you at all. I tell you, the Pink gets respect.  >'Kat |

Kat - Will a movie like the Princess Bride do?
I believe I scared the guy enough dressed like I was in mostly reflective silver like Charlemain. Me in a size 50 frufrue pink jacket with ostrich feather trim and cuffs may have pushed him over the top and given him a heart attack. He got really pale and shaky when I first stood up from the bike as it was.
I have American Heart Certification but at the moment when he looked like he was about to pass out I could only remember the alternate timing tune for regulating the compressions "Another One Bites the Dust". I am not sure if bystanders would have understood.
My American Heart instructor nick named me Crusher since people a floor below came up to see what the pounding sound was as I bottomed out the CPR practice victim. I may have been a bit upset when they said crippled folks couldn't get well enough balanced to give good compressions. I'll save you if it is at all possible but you will most likely have a few bruised or broken ribs afterwards. Still the only reason I would be doing CPR on you is because you are already dead so sore ribs would be the least of our worries.

Me, I'll use the little defibrillator our church got. Stick on the patches, turn it on, shock if it tells you to, then start compressions. It even tells you if you're too slow.
And no, it won't allow you to shock if it determines shocking isn't needed. So you can't stop the unliked guy's heart. Sorry.
The rep told us one church decided against buying one 'cause you have to open the shirt/blouse. And that would create a modesty issue for the women. Which apparently is of greater importance than keeping said women alive if they're having a heart attack or something. Whatever. We're getting a sheet or tarp or something to hold up and create some modesty.
Oh, and I'd say Princess Bride would be "As you wish", except that's electricity and you'd possibly need the little defibrillator if you watched it soaking in the hot hot bath.
>'Kat, counting to "Dah-dah-dah, another rode the bus..."

I am AED Certified and we keep a few sheets or blankets with the AED that can be held up by a few volunteers standing with their backs to you while using the AED device when modesty is an issue. Each congregation has at least one if not two members who are female RPNs or LPNs so the gender of the person using the AED most times should not need to be an issue either. There are more intelligent solutions to address modesty and decency while an auditorium is vacated or the victim can be moved to a more private or safe area if need be. Once the two patches from the AED are attached a cotton sheet can be left covering the victim too. My tablet runs on batteries for hours so thats not a problem. Thought about rigging a photo flash for use as an improvised ED no A so we could test it on the brother in law if desired but... It could prove an interesting experiment. |
