CPR/First Aid

I'm going to be taking a CPR/First Aid class, a class that lasts six hours, probably with a lunch break in the middle of it.

I've never done that before. So this will be a real departure for me, making progress in my lifesaving skills, which right now are made up of the ability to dial 911.

As for first aid, I'd guess it's more than putting on some Neosporin and an adhesive bandage. We used to spray some Bactine on. How far this goes, the training, I don't know. Maybe it will include tourniquets and splits, the whole wilderness thing a person would need to know, survival skills.

I'm looking forward to it. So if I ever run into you and you need someone to save your life, I'll be ready!
