Tomorrow I begin my study plan for the National Physical Therapy Board Exam. So today (aside from the obvious 8 hours I was at work), I’m not thinking about physical therapy at all…no articles over lunch, not listening to the APTA podcast while I run, not signing up for volunteer booth shifts at CSM. Nope. … Continue reading
My outpatient rotation is starting off swimmingly…and that isn’t just because our facility has a sweet therapy pool (ha! ok, ok sorry I’m a little tired still from the adjustment to my new home and clinic life). Sometimes (serendipitously) patients seem to cluster themselves. In my first few days I have seen several Rotator Cuff … Continue reading
Our lives are filled with many firsts. Every once in a while we have a unique last first. My classmates and had the FIRST day of our LAST clinical rotation today! I’m delightfully exhausted, stimulated by the new environment, fantastic new coworkers, and all the lovely challenges that come with beginning something new. I couldn’t … Continue reading
HUZZAH! My dad and I made it from New Smyrna Beach, FL to Culpeper, VA in one shot: 14.5 hours of fun time family road-tripping. Nothing like some good tunes, good company, and two drivers to get where you need to go in this ridiculously large country. However, after all that time sitting my body … Continue reading

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it is kinda my life blood…so luckily, felines and I have 9 lives. This project didn’t cost me any lives and was so interesting! It has been mildly stormy this weekend in Florida, which means lots of animals washed up on the beach. I found this guy on … Continue reading
I wish I was in Texas today. Yep. I just said that, may never say it ever again … but right now it is true. Today is the day of my friend Barbara’s wedding. When ever I think of weddings, a billion movie scenes and quotes rush through my head, but while Barb and I have … Continue reading
They don’t make ’em like they used to….how many times have you heard that? While that sentiment isn’t always true, I most certainly find value in caring for those old bits that have stood the test of time. I have two steamer trunks that for the moment contain my tangible world, they are both over … Continue reading
One of the best things about vacation is the ability to indulge (and I mean REALLY to excess) all those things you LOVE but can’t always find the time for IRL. (IRL = in real life, for all you non-gamers out there). Today was brimming with those things for me and I ended up requiring THREE … Continue reading
