May 8th- Day 5

Today was a low key day. I spent a couple hours in the training room with Chris this afternoon and continued to practice my taping. Erika and I practiced taping eachother and with each time I practice I get a little bit better. After that I helped Chris fill the water coolers for the fields and then headed off to practice myself. After practice I met up with Chris at the JV Boys Baseball game. Sadly I missed the player who was hit in the face with the ball and had a laceration on his face that needed to be Steri stripped before he could head off to the hospital for stitches. I was able to practice my wound care on a young spectator who suffered from a bloody nose (epistaxis), as well as clean out and bandage an abrasion on a player caused by sliding. Although I would say today was the least productive day I had this week it was great being able to apply some of the knowledge I have gained throughout the week at the game this evening!
