View from the Clinic

So I've kinda started to settle in...

Sort of.

Job is like orientation except I'm not really getting paid for it.

Most of my patients have canceled on me. I observe the other therapist treat and pick her brain but basically I'm not working but I'm not off each day has been a weird limbo and the inability to get into a routine starts to wear on me.

It has been beautiful weather of the last week, 80's...need AC at night and a little hot during the day...but the office is ice cold so I got to wear sweaters and shit.

As of this Friday aka 1 more day, I'm alone in the clinic with a busy schedule.

I picked up a second job thanks to a contact given to me from a speech therapist on the mainland....thank you very much.

Facility is not so great and that is being nice.....Geri Chairs abound and people are in bed a lot, but they have a restoritive program that keeps patients moving....I'm scheduled to go in like 2 a week and see about 6 pt's.

My first real day was today and I lasted like 1 hour....was shitting my brains out. Don't feel that great today, hope it's not the Leptospirosis, but I have no flu or other symptoms so I assume it was something I ate....actually a bigger note on the bowel situation is that ever since I have been here my body has revolted and is made for not keeping the schedule....so I suffer from irregularity and probably need to put metamucel in a glass during my morning routine....also maybe the lack of coffee has slowed down the previous drano like effect that was coffee.


I miss everyone.

I'm feeling it today...Kinda homesick...Feel, Alone, even though It's great to know maybe people are behind me and read the blog and stuff, just a feeling, not like I don't enjoy a lot of the alone time I've been having, gettting better aquainted with mysslef....just sometimes really could use a familiar face.


I've heard it's a common issue here and that there are quite a number of good group/memeber kinda clubs that actually put on good/fun/interesting events.


and speaking with younger/or my age patients has definetly helped...it's nice to ge in the private practice, outpatient orthopedic scene again....it's like riding a bike, and I'm remembering more and more each day and tips and tricks to help patients actually get better and those fears have subsided (catch me in a few days after I'm alone thought :)


here is a pick from very close to my office....from the garage, the office is on the 8th floor and you can see mountains and ocean from the view, it's actually kinda nice.

Also me trying to take a pick while I'm driving on the scooter....
