Quiet Storm

I have double and tripled efforts this week...

Proud to say my stroke has improved.

It was with much effort did I improve and lengthen my stroke, reaching deeper.

My swim stroke.

Best advice in awhile, "if you can't get your stroke down that put on the mask and snorkel and really just focus and concentrate on your stroke ya know slow it down, be the stroke". (alright that last part about being the stroke was made up)

Been getting into the Ala Moana Beach park and jogging and swimming- my own little biathalons lately. Feeling pretty good, still suck at running but it's getting better, I still can't believe someone I know goes 5 miles....

Things are speeding up at work.

Days are Long, real long. always at least 10 hours for the near future...same gripes working more getting paid per patient dilemma...but whatever it's still a good deal.

With this, comes more unique opportunities and even more so than before I'm on the ground floor going up...


We have some big plans for the place and the business model, and then to repeat the Model in other practices. I really want to tap into the professional and personal development side of things, being more of a manager or clinical supervisor of the patients and help bring more knowledge and clinical or evidence based practices to the arena.

We want to grow, we want to run some classes, we want to start some outside consultation to the corporate world.....

So trying to do a million things at once, which is never good, but I think we've calmed down a bit and really tried to focus on priorities like the implementation of the software and computers...


theoretically in a few weeks I should be holding a tablet PC in my hands, while in the PT treatment room, jot down a few notes, pop up a progress note and all other documents and poof fax it where it needs to go and schedule patients for their appointments right there, while being plugged into everyone else on the Network of computers. Should Help quite a bit.


Unfortunately there will be a bit of a learning curve, but anything is better than some of the systems in place now.... we tend to step on each others toes needing the same things.. needing the schedule book, the phone, the fax.





But with this new responsibilities and a manager or boss who is not a physical therapist and suddenly the whole place being run through me....( ahhhhh ) I don't believe I will be able to return to Home in Mass for as long as I may have hoped...

I don't think I could do a 5-6 week home for the holidays extravaganza...

The other plan was to return home, perhaps for good, there was a possibility of something special with a lady..... was a possibility.

So I don't think that angle is going to fly...

I think it's dead.

In football Down and Distance Dictate Action.... that is the story for me at the moment. In terms of relationships and in terms of work...each a different down a different scenario unfolds.

So If I talk about this job about- sinking my teeth into the PT practice and improving myself in many ways.....it's First and Goal. That is a big spot to be. Feels like the right thing.


with a little Reluctant of course it's a bitter sweet deal being far away, but so much of what I want out of life is around me.....that is worth something.
