I really don’t want to spend my day off work documenting tomorrow BUT I’m glad I provided patient centered care rather than having my nose glued to a laptop. #lifeofapersonthatsucksatmultitasking

Does he need a hand therapist? I know a gal....

I’m told Kevin McDermott lost the tip of his pinky tonight when it got caught in a player’s face mask. He got it stitched up in the game and was able to go back out. The belief is he’ll be able to play through it going forward.

Had my FCE certification course today and later @ night when I was carrying a big load of groceries my inner dialogue was ‘recruiting my proximal muscles, HR increasing’

Made a make shift functional resting hand splint for my patient that recently had a stroke & is paying out of pocket. #OccupationalTherapy #handtherapy #stroke #kickboard

Had a patient that was in tears because she lost her independence with driving & had to wait for 6 hours until her kids could get her. Something has to be done to make rides to appointments easier for the geriatric community. #geriatrics #transportation #DisabilityRights

Fabricate an orthosis for a doctor ✔️

Can’t believe how much I have grown professionally in a year. Still love OT & helping patients to regain functional independence!

Love that I did not even have to prompt him to think of things- he immediately shouted out "shoe tying!"(Still addressing writing 😉)

I wish there were fellowship/residency positions for entry level OTs interested in working with kids within brachial plexus injuries.

The job search is very tedious. Hopefully I end up where I am meant to be! #otr #Pediatric
