Its an old picture but I love it. It is so Josh. So life is crazy. I am at school (or on the road there and back)for at least 10 1/2 hours a day for 4 days a week. I have an insane dissection lab that I love. What an opportunity to learn about anatomy in a hands on way. I find myself laughing every week as I read what we are going to do. Laughing in a nervous mildly insane way. After all when you read something like, "milk the rectum upwards before tying the string around it to minimize rectal leakage" or "today you will be sawing your body in half" you either laugh or cry...I laugh.
My classes are awesome. For Kinesiology, we learned all about torque. Then we learned about the correct way to wear a backpack to decrease torque on the lower back. We then worked a booth (Backpack Awareness) at the Utah Health Fair. So fun to use what we have learned in a real OT way and to help people learn how to wear their purses and bags to not hurt their backs/shoulders.
Hot Chelle Rae has a song called "Tonight, Tonight". The first month of school one line kept replaying in my mind, "I don't know if I'll make it, but watch how good I'll fake it". That is exactly how I have felt about school. Put on the smile, if you look like you know what you are doing they may not catch on that you are as lost as they are. Apparently it worked because other students began asking me to help them study. This past week we had our first round of tests and I can finally take a deep breath and know that I am going to make it.
We have had all sorts of craziness with Josh. He broke his elbow and wrist falling off the jungle gym at school. He had surgery to fix it and now it is in a cast. He is doing really well except at night. He can't sleep which is making him such a ray of sunshine during the day. He has started to become pretty ambidextrous, it is rather incredible.
