#### Numbers ####

In my free time I started a list of numbers of the events from my first 14 days in the hospital. The list started in my head and then I eventually decided to type it up. This is to make up for all the daydreaming I did in math class. I found myself highly entertained. Maybe you will find it informational and entertaining as well. This list is for days 1-14 only. Today is my 17th day in the hospital so the numbers have changed but I will not be redoing the list anytime soon.

2008 miles- longest distance traveled by a visitor (Darcy from Wisconsin)
454 grams in a pound
