Sorry, Captain Planet and Mama Nature... #medicalsupplies #medicalwaste

11 days in... let's see how much medical supplies / waste I am consuming and producing... 

Consumables:
  1. McBride Sterilized Gauze Pad 3" x 3" = 3 to 4 /day = 44 guaze pads
  2. Cotton Buds = 10 to 12 /day = 132 cotton buds
  3. 3M Transpore Medical Tape = nearly finishing my 2nd roll of tape
  4. Povidone Iodine = 15mL
  5. Hydrogen Peroxide (10 volumes) = 120mL 
  6. Bactroban ointment 15g = 1 tube
  7. Isopropyl Alcohol = 500mL
  8. Packaging for all the oral medications = assorted, 31 foil and plastic packaging.
  9. Diapers = About 8 Huggies (Blue Bear design) (Got 4 out of 8, side-effects from dolcet: diarrhea, constipation, drowsiness, disorientation) ~ YMMV
Non-consumables: 
  1. LongBone Knee Immobilizer (Medium) = 2
  2. Walking Cane = hand me down
Repairing yourself is expensive and adding to pollution. So, I'm sorry Captain Planet and Mama Nature. I have a ways to go yet.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
