This is what I learned today and looked further into Nov. 24th
Today I have learned from the site Antibiotics Are a Gift to Be Handled With Care that there's more to antiobiotics then just swalloing the pill and having the results you'd like. I decided to do this article because i've been on my fair share of antoibiotics and I was curious if all my thoughts were accurate with antiobiotics and they were very similair. You really can't ever go on an antiobiotic without discovering the possibility of getting a risk of some side effect. Putting an antiobotic into your body can cause many problems but it can also do a lot for you. The key point you always have to rememer about antiobiotics is you have to take them only when there suscribed or truly needed. There not something you just pop in cause you want a quick fix, antoibiotics do take time it just also depends what you're taking them for. One fear fact that I did learn that I didn't know is people think for coughs and ear infections and viral infections that they need to take an antibiotic when really researchers think that is bad for you. And because antoibiotics are so strong that could harm you because it won't be helping the area you are trying to get better. Antoibiotics are only for bacterial infections.
This what I learned 9 days ago (Nov.16th)
Today I have learned from the site "When It’s the Nurse Who Needs Looking After" I feel now a days were paying and trusting doctors more than we should. There's a huge amount of expectations we have lost in doctors because we believe they know what there doing and because they have a degree to be there. But really is having a degree saying enough? Just because there smart enough to get questions correct and know the main idea of what there doing, do they really do every one of those things there suppose to? Or are patients not getting the right treatments there suppose to have and not getting the correct attention or check ups/ check ins. I'm not saying every doctor is like this, and I'm not saying doctors are bad but I am saying from the tendency of forgetting to remove surgical parts out of there bodies or leaving chemicals inside there body after surgically enclosing them back up. But in this specific article it relates and talks more about maybe some of our doctors who are looking after us, Need to be checked in on as well. We have doctors of all ages, and as a doctor to a doctor they should be checking in on one another as well, it's the safest way to go. Especially when there are certain nights that they are short on staff. Many doctors seem to put it all in for the patients and don't pay enough attention to there own health, and then some pay not enough attention on our patients and more to themselves.
Dumplings are on me this year
For the first time ever I had to be ready to be prepared to make a majority of the food for thanksgiving. My grandma usually made everything and would just have a little bit of help, But since my grandparents had moved to Florida, My family was counting on someone to make them, and I had been the only one who ever truly observed the proper way of making her dumplings. I decided to practice before thanksgiving just to be sure I could get it down, Keep in mind the first time I began was almost midnight.. I had taken the bag of flour not pay attention and dumped it on the floor, missing the bowl by far, I sat there and just smirked at myself. I decided to leave it on the floor just until I was finished with everything. I then took the salt and sugar and put it in the bowl, I took the sifter and cracked the egg inside it because you're suppose to have the egg yoke slightly greated through out, to make it easier to kneed, later on towards the end. I didn't realize the bottom comes on and off and as i was walking to the other end of the kitchen it had slowly dripped all over the kitchen floor, I was in shock of how much of a mess I had been making that night, I still had not cleaned it up right away because to me, why clean if you may just continue to be messy? It's best to wait until everythingelse is done. I took the bread crumbs next and splattered those all around the bowl. Next I had grabbed the jar of dry yeast and took out the amount it needed and all I had remembered my Grandma mentioning was the word "disolve" as in disolving sugar and yeast together. And to me disolve can mean several different things, Such as spreading through something, or having something melt or get combined into a liquid object. At that moment, I wondered how you could dissolve dry yeast and sugar together.. I put that in the sifter as well, completely not realizing i never put the trapper back on the bottom and as I walked back to the bowl I had spilt everything all over the floor, I just laughed. I then go get a wisk to mix it all together, I am wondering why it is so dry so I had a little bit of water to make it a bit gushier. It still doesn't give it the right fluff, I could not remember what I was forgetting. As I'm sitting there thinking I hear foot steps coming down the stairs and I was staying at my moms old friends house, He comes down stairs and turns the corner and didn't see the mess, Instead he stepped in it, Just my luck. I sat there and acted like I didn't realize what he did, He then states my name and I slowly turn my head with a response of yes, as he slowly starts walking towards me im only considering the worse he said go get a mop and clean this up and I was in shock that's all he said so I hop out of the chair go grab it and when i get back to the kitchen he was gone. Before I could take the mop out of the bucket someone comes up behind me knocking the nerve in my leg that makes you fall and I fall in the mess I had created, He begins laughing at me and I was just disgusted. On the bright side of this story I figured out my missing ingredient was the milk and I re-created a brand new bach, after my shower of course and The dumplings came out just like my grandmas!
If you ever want to make these amazing dumplings all you need is 4 cups of Flour,1 cup of Milk, 2 Eggs, 1/4 cup of Bread crumbs, 1Tsp of salt, 1 pkg of dry yeast (if you buy the jar portion it says how much 1 pkg is considered it is usually about 1/4 of an oz) , and 1 tsp of sugar and to finish add 1/4 cup of warm water, and then just mix it and kneed into it and let it sit for about an hour to let it rise. You can either make 2 big ones or some medium size ones but however you lay them out to sit for an hour is how you need to leave them. Once you're done with that boil some water and place them in. These ingredients will only make you one batch, so if you want more you just need to double the ingredients and how many are in your batch depends on how big you make them but you can't make them to small or they could break on you.

This is what I learned today- Nov. 11th
Today, I read an article titled "Poor Pain Control for Cancer Patients". From this article, I learned there are a lot of stubborn people in this world, but also very wise ones at the same time. People who were diagnosed with cancer were able to step away from that fact and accept themselves, but at the same time the pain would get to them, to the point it'd bring them down. One third of the patients felt they needed more painkillers to help with there pain. A month after the patients saw their oncologists, the researchers again asked the patients about their pain. Instead of showing improvements, the percentage of patients who continued to be in pain remained unchanged. It was amazing how much the mind and researchers thought the pills were working, when in reality what they thought was a "cure" really wasn't anything but a pill to get swallowed or a needle to be injected with and the mind believeing it helped. It amazes me how low the health field is getting, especially when you're giving a product out to patients and believeing its helping them when really it's doing nothing but keeping them in the same pain as they've been sitting through. We pay doctors to help people and there level of lazyness needs to end. Many doctors may simply hesitate to take on the heavy responsibility of monitoring a patient and it almost seems they do or give a patient whatever the main product is without really looking at there symptoms.
This is what I learned today
Today I read an article titled "Ensuring nothings left behind" From this article I learned if there are certain tools and objects left behind there could be bacteria that floats amongst the room and could cause other patients to catch onto that virus of bacteria. Worse than that every year they have estimated around 4,000 cases of "retained surgical items" have remained left inside a patient. What amazes me is how especially being Doctors, how careless you could be to shut something germ invested into someone's body. “In most instances, the patient is completely helpless,” How doctors could say such things Like this and stay so calm, confuses me very much, so. We trust doctors to know what there doing, and they get paid very well. They had finally came up with a solution where they count sponges to see if any have been left behind when there done with there procedures. The only problem with that has been doctors have lost track or forgot to re-scan it. Since every sponge has a barcode it is used to help keep track of who there used for and how many to prevent it from giving false bacteria or particles brought into another person.

1st paragraph of narrative writing
Most make this paper harder than others, it should be as easy as asking some questions and writing the answers down. I'm Danielle Perez I've played softball since I was 8 and have not been in a stable home for more than a year in the last 4 years. In the making of this paper I enjoyed it because it gave me some time to sit aside and really find out more about my grandma, Yes grandparents always love telling their stories but there's never a time you really sit there and ask several different questions that can actually mean something to the time change of today. Talking with my grandmother got me thinking our generations really have not progressed in all positive ways, By the end of my paper you will see there are positives about some of our benefits but you'd be surprised with the amount of negatives. I interviewed My grandma Dawn because I respect her and look up to her very much, She is one of the most straight forwardest people I know, and she will always tell you the truth and guide you to making the best decisions.

The most elderly relative I remember
The oldest relative i remember was my great grandmother she is 103 years old, or would be if she hadn't died 6 years ago. She died when she was 97 years old and lived with me for most of my child hood. She had hair that was as white as snow and as silk as a pillow case, She had fragile old skin that was painful to look at, but still made her to be the cute Great grandma she was. She was my role model, My best friend and most importantly someone who can never be replaced. Her name was Beatrice and she hated her name and gave herself a nickname and everyone knew her as Bea. Her biggest fears were clowns and mice. I remember when I heard her screaming in the kitchen one year, I ran out to find her and she was swatting at a mouse with a broom chasing it all around the room, I jumped on the counter yelling at her to kill it, then we hear my brother yelling mouse and we run in his room and he's standing on his bed saying "get the mouse its under the bed" me and my grandma Bea begin laughing and run to the other room not realizing we left the other mouse somewhere in the kitchen, Our kitten Lila was swinging her tail back and forth under the table, I call her name and she turns her head and all you see is a tail hanging out of her mouth. My grandma Bea starts telling her to drop it and once she does all you see is blood in the kittens teeth. My grandma Bea every Wednesday would make cookies because she hated the middle of the week, and always thought brightening it with something sweet would help the rest of the week go by. She was very organized and would never let someone give her the answer no, without making a fair agreement. She always had a bond for animals, and living on farms. My grandma Bea was the type who would spoil you and share stories with you, she would never criticize you even if you deserve it. Bea had two kids, a boy and a girl but lost her husband years after there second child. When I hit the age of 7 my great grandmother moved to Madison,Wisconsin to live with her son and his wife, I was devastated after being around her since I was born. After she went to Wisconsin I got to fly up to her every summer to visit and that made it a lot better. My grandma Bea would never let anyone walk all over anyone she cared about and loved living in a house with a view. After she moved to Wisconsin she got to experience living with wild bunnies in her back yard. When she lived in Oregon with me she would feed squirrels that would come to our back door and it became such a habit that squirrels would always sit there waiting for food, sometimes if our backdoor was left open they would run inside the house and my Great grandma would always just have a look on her face and say "oops this isn't my fault" as she would shoo them out of the house. The hardest thing I've ever seen that's happened to Bea was when she was walking down the stairs at her home in Wisconsin and the German Shepperd named Cloe came running down the stairs and tripped Bea right on her back and she flipped over the side of the stairs and hit her head on the window and got a head injury. My grandma Bea made it her whole life only being with one guy even after he had passed away, she felt she chose her one and only and made a vow to him that he would be that one and only forever. She was raised to always be happy and do what she felt was right, once she made a commitment to something or someone she would never break it off. She had a fairytale wedding and lived life the way life was suppose to be lived. The way I remember her, is having full respect for herself and being the way the old generations were, saving yourself for someone, not running around doing unnecessary things, she got her priorities done, she would say hi to anyone who was everyone, she wouldn't let people bring her down, and she wouldn't make people feel worse about themselves, she was high spirited like I always remembered her, she gave love like it meant something, but more importantly she would show it and not just stay it. I will never forget my Grandma Bea, being able to be close with someone from two generations ago can really show you how times have changed and it taught me a lot about life and the differences as time has over come, I love her and I was lucky to have known my Great Grandma.
